Guiding Visionaries to TEDx Success

51K Views & Counting! — Megghan’s TEDx Talk Is Inspiring Audiences Worldwide

"Tara is a gifted speaker coach. She immediately recognized when the notes I had been given by a prior mentor were stifling my voice. She was direct, honest, supportive, and authentic. She upheld a tight standard to support me in making my TEDx speech such a success. After riffing with her about what I *really* wanted to say, and why, she masterfully pulled out the exact introduction that immediately put the audience in the middle of the problem I solve. I cannot wait for the final video production, given the immediate positive feedback I received from the live show and livestream audience, I am certain the speech will positively impact so many people. If you want to take your speaking career seriously, and make a fast impact, Tara is the coach for you. My first scripted speaking opportunity was with this TEDx and I nailed it. That is the power of having an expert coach in your corner."

In Just Months, Amna Secured a TEDx Talk, Launched a Top 5% Podcast & Elevated Her Brand Authority

When Dr. Amna Shabbir first came to me, she had a powerful message and deep expertise but she wanted to amplify her brand and position herself as a global thought leader. Despite her credentials and passion, she struggled to break through the noise and get her voice in front of the right audiences.

Together, we worked on strategically positioning her thought leadership, crafting her signature message, and building a clear visibility roadmap that aligned with her bigger mission. Within just a few months, Amna:

Landed her first TEDx talk — a breakthrough moment that amplified her credibility and gave her message a global platform
Launched her podcast, Success Reimagined — creating a space to share powerful conversations and establish her voice as a thought leader
Tripled her prices — as her visibility and authority grew, so did her demand, allowing her to confidently increase her rates and attract high-caliber clients

What once felt impossible became her new normal. Today, Amna is thriving as a rising thought leader; impacting lives, building influence, and owning her value.
