1. Tell us more about your background and your journey.
I come from a middle-class family from Pakistan moved to the UK, raised by my single mother who like any other have big dreams to leave a mark in this world and become someone who I can be proud of and make my mother proud.
I completed my graduation from the University of Westminster London in Business Management and was awarded a scholarship. I always wanted to be a person that can make a difference which is why I built my way to success and was involved in many start-up international businesses which enhanced my experience in the business world and in real life.
I have started my YouTube Motivational channel to spread what I have learnt so far in my journey. I have created this to inspire, self-motivate, share positive thoughts and help each other to be successful in life. I also promote personal as well as professional positivity.
2. How do you choose and prepare for a talk?
To answer this, I simply focus on knowing my audience. I have searched around on YouTube on topics not been touched on. Especially, during the worldwide Covid-19 lockdowns that has had a major impact on individuals mental health and that we as individuals have to face someday or somewhere in our lives.

Especially, during the worldwide Covid-19 lockdowns that has had a major impact on individuals mental health and that we as individuals have to face someday or somewhere in our lives.
The topics I prepare my talk on have to be relatable. They need to think I’m talking to them individually and ensure they’re with me at every step. To make it simple, I also use examples to make it relatable that you will find in many of my motivational videos.
I believe that my eye contact, facial expressions, head movements, hand gestures, and body posture all need to be connected to deliver a great speech. I try to make sure that I grab my audience’s attention in the first 30 seconds to make sure they are with me.
3. How can one become a motivational speaker?
I will highly suggest firstly to focus on developing your ideas, as you won't become a successful public speaker by rehashing old ideas in the same way as everyone else. I would highly advise that you need to develop fresh, relevant content that people want to hear, can relate to and take positive actions that can make difference in their life.

Secondly, to identify your ideal audience because the truth is, a message that’s too generic will not leave a big impact on anyone. So focus on types of groups who you really want to reach and connect with to get your message across.
4. Can motivational speaking become a full-time career?
Yes, as Motivational Speaking is an art that has to be mastered, but if done correctly, you can go ahead and make it into a full-time career. So very simply put, here are some steps along the path to becoming a Pro Motivational Speaker that I believe are essential:
Be a good speaker. Master the basics of good speaking including how to craft a great message, and how to deliver it like a master. You will also need to know how to tweak your message for different audiences. For instances various age groups, demographics and so on.
Get paid for speaking. When people pay you to speak, you will know that you have been acknowledged as a speaker of some standard. This is an essential step to arrive at.
Learn how Logic and Emotion work in tandem and how you can lift people's spirit in your family and your workplace. The more this comes naturally to you, on a one-on-one level, the better.
Motivating people as a group is then only a natural step along your path.
In a world that is seemingly slipping into negativity and is also churning constantly, there is a huge need for motivators and motivational speakers.

5. Which is your favourite talk ever and how did it change your life?
My favourite talk would have to be “The Power Of Vulnerability” TED Talk by Brene Brown. This completely changed my life for betterment. Each time I am exposed to a new situation or new people, I tend to be vulnerable.

My favourite talk would have to be “The Power Of Vulnerability” TED Talk by Brene Brown. This completely changed my life for betterment. Each time I am exposed to a new situation or new people, I tend to be vulnerable.
I am vulnerable when I make friends. I am vulnerable when I change my place of work. I am vulnerable when I travel to a new place. I am vulnerable when I love it. I am vulnerable when I am all by myself. So much so, writing this answer makes me vulnerable as well. And as I said, this vulnerability is an inherent part of me.
Because, every time, with everyone and in every situation, I give away a part of me, a significant part, that I may not have to myself ever. What I learned from this powerful talk is that you shouldn’t be ashamed or feel negative about it. Just be honest. Rightly said by Brene Brown, “Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage!”
6. What are the best public speaking tips that have worked for you?
The best public speaking tips that have worked for me would be first, knowing that nervousness is normal, so practice and prepare. So the best way to overcome anxiety is to prepare, prepare and prepare some more if you have to.

Secondly, know my audience, as the speech I prepare is about them and not me. So I try to learn as much about my listeners as I can.
Thirdly, the last and most important tip that has worked for me would be, letting my personality come through. I always focus on being myself as this helps my personality shine through. So my audience can trust what I am trying to say and see the real me.
7. What impact do you want to make in the world?
Empowering others and future generations to understand themselves better so they can accept themselves as they are, harness and build on their strengths and have the flexibility to move away from unhelpful patterns of behaviour. Also, to practice sharing and caring with others, makes your life a lot more easier.
8. Which is your favourite book and why?
“A Child Called “It” by Dave Pelzer. It was very well written and will help others to feel like they are not alone. It also shows that even if you feel like you'll never escape a situation, that you will but may take a while for that day to come. So stay positive.
