Self Made Speaking Academy

When I first started speaking, it wasn’t on big international stages... It was in front of hundreds of graduates at my first job at a corporate big 4, sharing my insights on personal branding. What I didn’t realise at the time was how powerful that moment would be. ✅ It positioned me as someone to take seriously, even early in my career. ✅ It gave me visibility that no CV or LinkedIn profile alone could provide. ✅ It opened doors to conversations, projects, and opportunities I hadn’t even imagined. Fast forward to today, and I’ve spoken on stages across the UK and beyond, built a business helping others do the same, and I’m now the Chief Storyteller at my own Self-Made Speaking Academy. But here’s the truth… You don’t need a huge stage to start. Every time you speak, whether it’s to a room of early talent, a team meeting or an industry event, you’re building authority, influence and visibility. If you’ve been waiting for “the right stage,” stop waiting. The right stage is the one in front of you now. Where was the first place you ever spoke publicly? #publicspeaking #careerjourney

I love seeing my speakers flourishing and speaking on international stages! It was a pleasure to get this talk with Adidas for Osaro via Self Made Agency !
