Maryam is a highly accomplished individual who serves as the director and curator of both TEDxLondon and TEDxLondon Women. With a decade of experience coaching TEDx and TED speakers, Maryam has been instrumental in the publication and distribution of talks to over ten million viewers through TED. Maryam's driving belief is that the world is brimming with captivating ideas, knowledge, and theories, yet they often remain inaccessible due to their complexity, abstract nature, or obscurity. Her mission is to breathe life into these ideas, equipping speakers with the necessary tools and confidence to present them brilliantly, and creating platforms that amplify their voices for the world to hear. In 2015, Maryam founded X Equals, a venture dedicated to supporting individuals and teams in bringing their ideas to life through events design, curation, storytelling, and pitch coaching. Her extensive background in the human rights and charity sector, coupled with her education in psychology, has provided her with a solid foundation to effectively navigate these realms. Currently, Maryam holds the esteemed position of Visiting Fellow at the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at the University of Oxford, where she focuses on impact storytelling. This role allows her to further delve into the power of storytelling in driving social change and creating meaningful impact. Overall, Maryam's impressive track record and dedication to empowering individuals and amplifying their ideas make her a true force to be reckoned with in the world of TEDx and beyond.

Testimonials

Crushes it! Maryam was a total joy to work with. She ably coached 50 conservation professionals for a virtual expert series on oceans and climate that we organized. Thoughtful, effective, insightful, and disarming in her coaching. She worked very well with the production team and the event organizers and received rave reviews across the board from the speakers (myself included). Highly recommend.

Matthew Elliot

Executive Director, Oceankind

Maryam was an absolute gift to work with, making everyone from Nobel laureates to Obama Administration Cabinet members to me refine our messages and bring out our own, authentic voice—and all this using only Zoom as a tool during the pandemic. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Jennifer R. Kitt

President, Climate Leadership Initiative

Maryam was great. I’m a pretty experienced speech writer and speaker and she helped me improve the content and the delivery of my talk. Highly recommended.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.
