I've never seen anything like him at such a young age. In two weeks he's seriously transformed not only my public speaking skill but also my ability to write. I can't recommend him any more.
Zaki Razi
B. Com @ Macquarie University (1st-year)
Mahir has that rare ‘it’ factor’. His energy, natural talent, and ability to step outside his comfort zone made him a standout. Mahir’s ability to blend energy, versatility, and authenticity made this one of the most enjoyable workshops.
Sharon Lynne
Casting Director | TV Pro Global
Mahir is capable of identifying gaps in knowledge, adjusting to the learning needs of the students and tailors his approach accordingly. I wholeheartedly recommend Mahir for any pursuits in the future.
Bronwyn Lim
Teaching Supervisor
It’s the advice that he gives you at the end of his talk when you ask him questions that really switched something in me to take action. My friends at uni get quite talkative sometimes and each one of them (including myself) had our eyes peeled on him the whole time. Super engaging
Max Galanti
1st-Year Representative | UTS Law Society
I paid more attention to Mahir than my lectures. He is a very insightful speaker and an exceptional presenter. He shares real experience with the students and the notes he shares were very helpful for the next time I find myself in a networking scenario. I wish we had booked him for longer and we hope he comes back again!

Hey I'm Mahir…
Hey I'm Mahir…
Hey I'm Mahir…
Thankfully, because of the support of the people around me I was able to achieve a 96+ ATAR and get into the course of my dreams but there was something, something which felt missing.
I had realised that this whole time, every time I wanted to teach, express my thoughts, contribute - I was suppressed. And it wasn't until I released this lion that was stuck in a cage within me, did I realise the impact I could have upon students.
Less than 6 months after the horrific incident, I found myself speaking at TEDxYouth Sydney, volunteering with Channel 7, starting my own business and community, 'The Breakthrough Circle' and delivering one-of-a-kind careers, public speaking and writing workshops to university and school students across Sydney.
Today, I'm hungry. Hungry to inspire and empower your students, your organisation and your workplace to achieve their academic & career dreams. To build a level of speaking & writing skills that will serve them not just in their personal, but professional lives too.
Being a Gen Z speaker, learning English as a second language and weaving card magic within my keynotes and workshops - I'm dedicated to not just creating a memorable experience for your audience but something that is truly unforgettable.
I've pinpointed the strategies, specific skills, HOW to develop those skills & the habits required to not only become the man I am today - but to uplift all those around me too.
MOST people go past the what into the how. FEW go past the how into the why. AND very, very few combine the what, why & how into captivation. After spending over 8000+ hours studying the art of breaking-through & the science of masterful communication - the captivating words of Zig Ziglar never seem to leave my mind, "it's your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude."
Let's instill an attitude of empowerment, energy and electrifying positivity for your audience and your institution.
My journey is something that a lot of students have been through, but struggle to figure out what to do once they're out of it.
It's 2023, and I'm about to pick up my bag from the bench on top of the school oval before I get stopped, then cornered.
Two days before my final, most important Year 12 (HSC) exams that decide which university I go to - and here I am surrounded by all 10 of my high school bullies scared for my life what is going to happen in the next ten seconds. I run.
They chase me onto the school oval, my heart is beating out of its chest and after the adrenaline numbs me I get tackled to the floor, pinned to the ground, helpless and thrashed with buckets of water and punches.
All throughout high school all I wanted to do was make friends, but I was so caught up in doing so, that I ended up being bullied, verbally, emotionally and excluded for 6 years.
