• Tell us more about your subject. How did you develop an interest in this field?

  I teach public speaking, which I believe is a life-changing skill. My interest in this field started when I had to give a presentation during my university days. Despite being knowledgeable, I struggled to convey my thoughts confidently, which made me realize how crucial it is to communicate effectively. Over time, I learned the techniques to overcome my fears, and once I did, the impact was incredible. I knew I wanted to help others achieve the same confidence, whether in professional settings, social situations, or even personal conversations. Public speaking is not just about talking-it's about connecting, inspiring, and influencing others.

• What or who is the motivation behind you choosing to teach & why?

  My motivation stems from watching people transform through public speaking. Many of my students start off shy or unsure of themselves, but once they grasp the power of communication, their confidence soars. I've always believed in the saying, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others". Seeing my students excel and hearing how my teaching helped them ace an interview, nail a presentation, or speak up in meetings gives me immense fulfillment. I also had mentors who guided me in my journey, and I want to pass that on.

• How does your work help society?

  Effective communication plays a critical role in solving problems, building relationships, and leading others. By teaching public speaking, I help people become more articulate and confident in their personal and professional lives. This, in turn, fosters better understanding, reduces miscommunication, and encourages collaboration. When people learn how to express their ideas clearly, they can advocate for causes, lead teams, and inspire action, making the world around them better. As the saying goes, "Communication is the key to success in any relationship." I see this not just in one-on-one interactions, but also in larger societal contexts.

• If you had to think of a role model for your work, who do you think of & why?

  I would think of Martin Luther King Jr., whose ability to move people through his words was legendary. His speech "I Have a Dream" is an example of how powerful public speaking can change the world. He spoke with conviction, clarity, and passion, and his words still resonate today. His ability to connect with people and inspire action through eloquent communication is something I greatly admire and aspire to instill in my students. He demonstrated that words, when used correctly, can create lasting change.

• Tell us about your hobbies outside teaching.

  Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading books on leadership and communication. I'm always looking to expand my knowledge in these areas because they help me refine my own skills and become a better teacher. I also love writing, as it allows me to articulate my thoughts and ideas clearly-just like public speaking, but in written form. Additionally, I have a passion for meditation and mindfulness, which I believe are essential for maintaining calm and clarity, especially when preparing for a speech. Being centered helps me stay grounded and focused, which are qualities I also try to instill in my students.

• Do you have an anecdote to tell us about your student or professional life?

  I once had a student who was petrified of public speaking. He had been avoiding presentations at work for years, which was holding him back from career advancement. After a few sessions, we worked on his confidence, body language, and voice projection. What amazed me was not just how he overcame his fear, but how he transformed into a more confident version of himself. A few months later, he led a major presentation in front of his company's executives. He told me afterward, "It felt like a completely different experience this time." Moments like these make teaching public speaking truly rewarding.
