BONUS: Confidence Speaking Assessment to:

Get Noticed.

Get Promoted.

Silence the Critics, Both Internal & External.

Go From Nervous to Confident in 30 Days - Or You Don't Pay.

I help quiet high-achievers and leaders speak with confidence & authority...

Especially those who get passed over, not because they lack skill, but because they stay silent in the moments that MATTER.

Whether you're in the boardroom, pushing for that next-level promotion, on stage, or pitching to investors.

You know you’re brilliant at what you do...

BUT no matter how hard you work, you get OVERLOOKED.

Because when it’s time to speak up, your voice doesn’t match your value.

Your words get second-guessed. Your expertise? Sometimes INVISIBLE

You freeze in meetings. You ramble in presentations. You edit yourself mid-sentence, afraid of being misunderstood.

Or worse, you stay SILENT.

YOU THINK:
● “I don't belong here.”

● “What does ‘executive presence’ even mean for someone like me?"

● “I have to prove myself TWICE as hard to be seen HALF as much.”

● “They promote who they’re comfortable with, NOT who’s most capable.”

I know that fear. Heck, I lived it:
I grew up painfully SHY & INTROVERTED in Pakistan.

Speaking up meant judgement & embarrassment.


I became INVISIBLE by choice.

Even as a PhD student, I once froze so badly in a media interview, I couldn’t recall a single word I said.

That moment haunted me for months.

So I made a decision: NO MORE avoiding. NO MORE fear.

After years of books, courses, and anxiety, I discovered the SECRET:

❌ Confidence isn’t built through tricks & hacks, affirmations, or faking it

✔️ It’s built by uncovering and fixing the ROOT CAUSES that silence us.

Through my 1:1 transformation coaching, we'll go deeper than “speak louder” or “faking confidence”.

No recorded videos. No Fluff. Live Human experience.

We'll uncover the root causes keeping you silent—internalized doubts, fears, and nervous system responses.

My approach combines mindset coaching with PROVEN strategies and tools to prepare you for any public speaking situation... planned or unplanned.

Your title earns you a seat at the table...

But it’s your VOICE that gets you promoted.

This is what my CEO client Dr Joshua Oigara said: "This wasn’t just coaching. It was reconstruction. Not just of my speaking, but of my identity..."

Hi, I'm Waqas.

I know firsthand how debilitating public speaking and social anxiety can be as I lived with it for over 3 decades. I’ve been in your shoes and know how liberating it feels to be free of those fears.

In 2019, after a particularly humiliating public experience, I decided enough was enough. It took me 2 years, a lot of hard work, and significant financial investments to finally overcome my fears.

I made many mistakes and learned from them, so you don't have to struggle for years and solve any mysteries to become a confident speaker.

My transformation is proof that change is possible, which drives my passion to help you achieve the same. (My Full Story Video Link)

Here are the types of results you can expect...

This wasn’t just coaching. It was reconstruction. Not just of my speaking, but of my identity...

For most of my life, I carried a quiet beliefs that shaped everything. It didn’t scream, it whispered. Over time, that whisper became truth in my mind. I achieved a lot on the outside: I’ve spoken at Harvard, met presidents and prime ministers, led global initiatives but deep inside I still felt something missing. I would hold back from conversations, avoid the spotlight, and question whether I truly belonged in the rooms I was already in.

Then I started working with Waqas. At first, I thought I just needed to improve my public speaking. But very quickly, I realized this work wasn’t about technique, it was about truth. We dug deep, and I came face to face with beliefs I didn’t even know I had unconsciously chosen. And yet, they were defining my life. Something started to change almost immediately. Normally I would overprepare or even try to avoid it public speaking. But this time, I walked in with no notes. There was tension, yes. But also something else: a sense of presence. I actually looked forward to it. I looked forward to sharing my views, to standing in my truth. That moment made me pause. I remember thinking: what was I waiting for all this time? I had achieved so much. Why was I still hiding?


Working with Waqas helped me unplug from beliefs I had been carrying for 40 years. Beliefs passed down through teachers, parents, painful moments, and silent self-talk. I started to see clearly that I had been the sculptor of my own cage. And when you realize you created the cage, you also realize you have the power to dismantle it.

This work made me see that I am the architect of my life. I began to speak differently. Show up differently. Think differently. It wasn’t a fake confidence or surface-level fix. It was deep, real, and rooted. I'm impressed. Very impressed. I've never felt elevated for a very, very long time the way I feel today. It's like I became unbeatable. I realized I’m not a creation of others’ opinions, I am the creator of my path.

This wasn’t just coaching. It was reconstruction. Not just of my speaking, but of my identity. It changed the way I think, the way I speak, and the way I live. It gave me access to a version of myself I had forgotten was possible.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about what others do to you. It’s about what you do with yourself. And I now choose to rise, every time. (Transcribed from video testimonial)

Now I feel more comfortable being myself on and off-stage...

I started coaching [with Waqas] because I use public speaking a lot in my role as a business owner. I would get really anxious about speaking in groups. I thought if I could perfect my body language and speech, it would ease my anxiety around public speaking. Every time I had a speaking event, my mind would go blank when it was my turn and I'd stumble over my words. I spent so much time trying to write and memorize presentations to avoid making mistakes and embarrassing myself. I was feeling discouraged and was doubting my own abilities to grow. Waqas doesn't focus on fillers or body language in the beginning. He focuses on your beliefs about yourself. Waqas helped me identify one of my biggest anxieties around public speaking came from a small handful of experiences that convinced me I wasn't good at it.

I didn't realize the thing that was holding me back from improving my speaking, came from my own limiting beliefs about myself. Once we started to uncover the root of my anxieties, I felt less pressure to be "good" and I begun to feel more excited about the experience of public speaking. Waqas- You've helped me believe in myself as a speaker, and as a person in general. Now I feel more comfortable being myself on and off-stage. I don't worry about making mistakes or memorizing things now. I speak up more in social settings now. I have a newfound confidence and it feels good to see myself this way. Thanks for believing in me, even when I haven't always believed in myself.

I have always dreamed of giving a TEDx talk but couldn't picture it, with the amount of anxiety I had on stage before. I can actually picture it now. I believe in myself as a speaker enough to keep pursuing it. (Transcribed from video testimonial)

I feel liberated and for the first time in my life, I feel empowered...

Before the consultation, I’ve always been burdened with the thought that I’m not good enough and would never be good enough. This belief pushed me to work harder to prepare the best (sometimes at the expense of my sanity) for any public speaking/presentation. Not only that, I used to feel that I had to remain small and unheard in social interactions, just playing safe and always upholding the image of being ‘good enough’ or portraying a ‘perfect’ persona to convince others that I’m good enough so that I could feel good enough. But the irony is that no matter how hard I work, the belief just gets reinforced, further fuelling my fear and insecurity thus self-sabotaging my efforts. Waqas helped me go back to the cause of my belief and through his systematic approach, he managed to get me to work through my thoughts. I had to go through layers of my past but it was worth it. Although it was uncomfortable to go far back in time to get to the root of this belief, Waqas was patient and reassuring through and through. At the end of the session, I feel liberated and for the first time in my life, I feel empowered to discard my past belief as far away from me as possible, because that belief does not define me who I am. I feel a new surge of confidence not only in just public speaking but in daily interactions as well. He puts a new pair of lenses on me to change how I view myself, and others around me too; this helps me to have more compassion for myself and others.

By the end of the session, I felt an incredible sense of empowerment...

Before my session with Waqas I felt overwhelmed by anxiety whenever I had to speak in publicly. The fear of being judged, stumbling over my words, or simply not being good enough held me back from expressing myself confidently. No matter how much I prepared, my nerves would take over, and I’d feel trapped in a cycle of self-doubt. From the very beginning, Waqas created a safe and supportive space where I felt truly heard. Through insightful questions and exercises, he helped me uncover one of the my deep-seated limiting beliefs that were contributing to my severe speaking anxiety. Instead of offering quick fixes, he worked with me to reframe my mindset to address this limiting belief and see myself and public speaking in a completely new light. One of the most impactful moments was when we worked through a technique that reframed my perception of self resulting from negative past experiences to disassociate these anxiety inducing beliefs from my public speaking performance. By the end of the session, I felt an incredible sense of empowerment and that a weight I didn't realise I had been carrying was lifted from my shoulders. The overwhelming fear that I felt had loosened its grip, replaced by a newfound confidence in my ability to communicate effectively. Since working with Waqas, I’ve noticed a remarkable difference in how I perceive speaking opportunities and am excited for the upcoming chances to share my message with confidence. If you struggle with public speaking anxiety, I highly recommend Wasqas. His expertise, empathy, and transformative approach helped me break free from a belief that had held me back for years. I’m so grateful for having worked with you Waqas, thanks again!

The coaching didn’t just help with communication, it helped with overall confidence and leadership...

Before working with Waqas, I had just fallen out with my job and was forced to go out on my own. It was stressful and honestly I didn’t feel ready. But after going through his coaching, things started to feel fluent. Making phone calls became easier and I finally had the confidence to start putting myself in front of people and pursuing my own clients.

The coaching didn’t just help with communication, it helped with overall confidence and leadership. Without these skills I probably wouldn’t have had the courage to do what I did. What really stood out was Waqas’ ability to relate. He genuinely cares. He’s always accessible and you can tell he’s doing it because he’s passionate about helping, not just for the money.

There were moments in the program where I thought “wow I haven’t thought of that in 30 years.” It was heavy at times but incredibly transformative. Looking back I would absolutely pay twice the amount I paid for this because of results I got. (Transcribed from video testimonial)

I honestly noticed that very same day that it had been effective just by how I was communicating at work...

I had my first session with Waqas about a week ago. We worked on eliminating one of my self limiting beliefs in order to improve my public speaking comfortability.

I really enjoyed the session and gained alot of clarity from it and it seemed to help alot. Following the session I was curious if this would be effective beyond the session.

(The real test)

I honestly noticed that very same day that it had been effective just by how I was communicating at work. I was shocked. Since that session I still have noticed a difference and at this point, I just feel I need to review what we went over to reinforce it.

Thank so much! I look forward to seeing where all of this leads.

What distinguishes Waqas from other public speaking coaches is his ability to quickly identify and address the root causes of social anxiety...

Having worked with Waqas, I've personally experienced the profound changes he brings to his clients' lives. His relentless drive to improve and never give up is truly inspiring.

What distinguishes Waqas from other public speaking coaches is his ability to quickly identify and address the root causes of social anxiety, rather than offering temporary fixes like affirmations or "fake it till you make it" approaches.

His passionate and empathetic guidance makes a real difference. Highly recommended for anyone struggling with public speaking anxiety!

The session gave me a new perspective and real progress. 10/10

Before the session, I struggled with feeling not good enough in social settings especially in groups. I’d feel overlooked or unimportant and it tied back to old memories of being excluded or mocked by friends. During the session, he helped me revisit and reframe those moments, showing me how I planted that belief. By addressing them, I realized those experiences don’t define my worth and I started to let go of the anxiety tied to them. After the session, I feel lighter and more confident. I’m learning to remind myself that my voice matters and that my worth isn’t tied to how others react. The session gave me a new perspective and real progress. 10/10

[Waqas] brings empathy, structure, and real experience to help others grow...

Today, Waqas is not only an impressive speaker but also a results-driven public speaking coach. He brings empathy, structure, and real experience to help others grow. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to become a stronger communicator.

[Waqas] shares the kind of powerful insights and practical tips that most people don’t even think to mention...

Waqas is an absolute gem when it comes to all things public speaking! He’s not only super knowledgeable, but he shares the kind of powerful insights and practical tips that most people don’t even think to mention, especially when it comes to tackling those nerve-wracking moments before stepping on stage.

I had the pleasure of having him on my Coaching With Impact podcast, and wow... what a conversation! We busted some major myths around public speaking, unpacked what really causes stage fright, and explored game-changing techniques to move through it with more confidence and clarity.

What really stood out to me is Waqas’ gift for storytelling. As a fellow introvert, I found myself soaking up every word. That one interview alone shifted my whole perspective on speaking. If you’ve been holding back because of fear or self-doubt, and you're finally ready to take speaking seriously, speak to Waqas. Couldn’t recommend him more!

I left the session feeling lighter, clearer, and more self-assured...

Before our session, I carried the belief that I wasn’t good enough, without fully understanding why. He guided me through a powerful process to find the root of that belief and helped me see how I had misinterpreted a past event.

His approach was thoughtful, clear, and compassionate. By the end, repeating “I’m not good enough” didn’t even feel true anymore. I left the session feeling lighter, clearer, and more self-assured.

Waqas proved it to me that he genuinely wants to help by actually helping ...

I booked a speaking mentorship call with Waqas and found him to be an extremely patient and understanding person. Initially, I was scared to go ahead with him and had inhibitions about it turning to a sales call. But his humility changed mind. He was kind enough to gave me full time to fully listen me patiently to understand the problem, and offered a complimentary call to share strategies to deal with the problem. I found him trustworthy and authentically caring about helping others. He proved it to me that he genuinely wants to help by actually helping!
