Bahrain to host GCC inspirational speakers

Manama, June 22 (BNA): Y Access Training Solutions has brought together seven of the best speakers in the GCC region for a one-night only unforgettable speaking event this Ramadan. In honor of the legendary boxer Mohammad Ali, this event called Muhammad Ali: The Voice of Peace and Love, will give life to the inspiring words of service and hope that Mohammad Ali has embodied throughout his life. Among the speakers who will be gracing this event is 2015’s World Speaking Champion, Mohammed Qattani frm Saudi Arabia. Mohammed Qatani is the first ever Arab who has won the Toastmaster’s International Speaking Contest. His win has paved the way for members of the Arab community to go forward in the public speaking arena. On this memorable night tomorrow, Bahrain will also be treated to a showcase of public speaking with the 2016 district level winners Nashid A. Kaahliq (from KSA), and Sami Al Herbawi (from Jordan). Both of them will go to Washington DC to follow in the footsteps of Mohammed Qatani. In addition, Bahraini’s own Mohammed Isa and Mohammed Ali Shukri, and Ali Alfarai from Oman, will also deliver inspirational speeches from their own experiences as public speakers. To round out the event, Ms. Lorraine Taylor, an acclaimed speaker from New Zealand will be on hand to inspire and entertain. Y Access CEO Mohammed Ali Shukri said of this event: "We were inspired by the life and legend of the great Mohammad Ali and wanted to create an event that will speak about service and about inspiration. What better way to do that than to bring people whose voices have been heard and will be heard throughout the world?" "This night is one of a kind as it is the first time that Bahrain has seen such a multitude of stars gathered in a public event. I’m sure that everyone will come away elated and inspired by what they have heard. Furthermore, our speakers will be on hand should the guests have any questions that they want answered. This might even kick-start their own public speaking journey and we are always excited to be the catalyst of such bold ventures". In keeping with the spirit of Ramadan, all the proceeds from the event will go directly to a group of disabled people. Why the disabled? Mohammed Shukri says "It is because too often, the disabled people don’t have their own voice. This Ramadan, we wanted them to know that we will lend them our voice, so that they too can be heard. This – too – was inspired by Muhammad Ali, who showed special affection to this sector of the society".
