WHAT YOU DO BACKSTAGE
PUTS YOU ONSTAGE
Leopold Ajami
A Ceritifed World-Class Speaking Coach, and International Speakers
As a Speaking & Communication Coach, I developed my own tools, and I help professionals globally become world-class speakers.
I build online courses and conduct live workshops. I also train TedX speakers and private clients to craft their stories, pitch their ideas and deliver unforgettable presentations.
As a speaker, the focus of my talks is always from a philosophical lens – the integration of philosophy with any other subejct matter.
Whether I'm talking about creativity, communication, art, the value of speaking, leadership, wealth, or marketing… my purpose is to help people dig deeper and develop a philosophical mindset to help them make sound decisions.
I’ve spoken in various conferences,
and delivered more than 70 talks, or workshop
in over 10 countries.
Every time I speak I learn to become a better human being.

Delivering a masterclass at the Dubai Design Week, 2021
You are alone.
No one’s watching, no one’s judging, no one’s coming — but there’s one question rarely articulated and seldom asked: “Am I capable of thinking?”
The question is not one of skill or method — instead, existential:
Am I as an individual capable of focusing my mind?
Do I trust myself?
Can I rely on my mind, accept my errors and work to correct them?
Do I introspect and learn about my emotions?
If the answer is yes, then — the how follows, and you are motivated to learn. That’s what education is for. That’s what creativity depends on.
Every time you face a blank paper, every time you grapple with ideas, every time you think — you are auditioning for self-esteem.
The same is true for communication:
Every time you speak, you are auditioning for self-leadership.
Speaking on stage is a responsibility and one of the most rewarding experiences ever. You get to touch people’s lives and learn how to own yourself.
The more you develop your ability to think and speak, the more confident you become as an individual — not merely in the skill, but confident to live up to your potential.
The result is a reputation you build with yourself that you are capable and worthy of living and of helping others do the same.
A good philosophy of communication should not turn us into puppets auditioning for approval, control, and manipulation — instead, it should nurture us to rise as independent thinkers.
Next time you get inspired by a speaker or any human action, pause to ponder: What might they have done backstage that earned them the stage?
