Meet the Team

As a Business Coach, I knew that in order to take my business to another level, I would need to build my self-confidence, therefore I decided to join Bradford Speaks. This journey began in 2020 and I can definitely say, there’s no turning back. Bradford Speaks has exceeded my expectations by helping me not just with my self-confidence, but to develop my communication, coaching and leadership skills as well. Also, I look forward to club meetings and enjoy being in the company of great individuals who are always willing to learn. It is an absolute honour to serve as Club President alongside an amazing team. I’m committed to keeping the vision alive so that Bradford Speaks remains a safe space where we can all learn and grow together.

From an early age growing up I had a passion for words and public speaking. I was influenced by the compelling and memorable stories my grandmother told me, listening to debates on the radio and watching local and international preachers captivate their audiences-through the power of words. I knew then that speaking was going to be an important part of my life. As a Business Growth Strategist and Business Management lecturer it is important to always keep improving my craft. Bradford Speakers provides me with abundant opportunities to enhance my communication and leadership skills and ultimately to be the best I can be. As Jim Rohn says, “words do two things: they provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness”. And that is my mission, it’s what I do. I am here to serve and support you to be your best also.

I founded Bradford Speaks in late 2016 with the intention of helping people develop their communication skills and in 2020 Bradford Speaks chartered with Toastmasters International. I had feared and suffered when asked to speak in public in the past. After attending a training session in 2011 I went on to compete in a public speaking competition in Europe. Now I love it and more importantly I love seeing people join Bradford Speaks and within a short period of time a change in them, their confidence grows and their careers start to take off.

I have been a member of Toastmaster International for 8years. I continue to enjoy giving back an organisational that has helped me with communication and leadership skills I have found useful in my business and charity work.</p> <p>Having previously served in various leadership roles at club, area, division and district level I believe there is no ceiling to learning or serving others.

My growth as a result of being a member of Bradford Speaks is immeasurable. As a Writer who feared speaking in public, a friend of mine abroad introduced me to Eventbrite where I found Bradford Speaks. I attended the first meeting lately, 2022. I kept on going, and I'm still going due to how fast my public speaking competence has grown. Thank you, Bradford Speaks.
