My Values

Authenticity

I believe most people waste their lives trying to be something that they are not thinking that this will make them more successful, and they unknowingly completely disregard the fact that being themselves with their pros and cons could grant them more success than anything else.

For me, authenticity was and will always be an essential part of what success is all about.

From the moment I decided to establish a career in public speaking, I made sure that each word I include in my training sessions and each word I write represent my own beliefs and philosophy based on my experiences.

I always stress on the importance of authenticity as a value, that’s why I encourage my clients to write with their own words, express in their own style, and become their own version of what we call a great speaker.

 

Integrity

Sustaining our values along the way isn't as simple as it sounds, however, during your journey if you even make baby steps without destroying another person nor stealing someone else’s effort nor claiming something that’s far from your true self then you’ve achieved success bigger than you think.

I encourage my clients to have patience, to work hard to earn their success, and to be fully aware that each minute they spend preparing will eventually have a strong influence on their audience.

 

Commitment

My professional relationship with my clients goes beyond just holding training or a coaching session. For me, I see the growth of each individual I coach as an ongoing project in which I track its growth day by day and year by year.

After each event or session, I always review all the moments and ask myself:

Was I helpful enough?

Did I give each group the attention they need?

Did I make sure I answered all questions properly? Or I should have spent more time explaining the answer?

And as long as I’m asking these questions, I feel I’m still self-conscious and that ego didn’t drift me away from my values.

I also believe that our commitment is what can make us succeed; I always remind my clients that their commitment towards bringing the best out of themselves is an essential base in their sessions with me, and equally important is their commitment to bringing real value to their audience, because this is the main pillar for the success of their speeches/presentations.

It was never about the applause nor about the recognition, it is about the audience who gave you their time, their attention, and trust to listen to you, because in the end, the only thing that remains is the change you do for others.
