41% of graduates don’t feel confident entering the workplace, speaking to seniors and are anxious around their ability to achieve their aspirations. I am passionate about changing this because I believe everyone should feel confident, inspired, and empowered to innovate and reach their full potential.

In the past 24 months, I’ve delivered keynotes and presentations in 7 countries. I’ve also published a best-selling book, rocked the TEDx stage (twice!) and grown my YouTube channel to over 14,000 subscribers. All of which I use to empower young people with the personal development tools they need to step into the world of work or business with confidence.
 
As a result of working with me students, graduates & young professionals:
✅ Feel more driven to take proactive steps towards their academic, career & business goals
✅ Have improved self-esteem to show up authentically & feel less isolated
✅ Develop more self-awareness to disempower limiting beliefs and doubts
✅ Create wellbeing habits for personal fulfilment and happiness
✅ Overcome their public speaking fears and use their voice to communicate with impact
✅ Feel more confident in their ability to create their future, regardless of their background, race and gender

I provide Confidence, Mindset & DEI :
🟣 Keynote Presentations
🟣 Group Workshops
🟣 Group Trainings

What My Clients Say:
🗣“The students visibly blossomed in Cel’s presence as she gently yet firmly encouraged them to ‘recognise their inner champions’ and offered them practical advice on ‘realising their potential and manifesting their goals”
 
🗣“Cel delivered the workshops with excellence. She also gave us what we didn’t even know we needed – a safe space to have uplifting and courageous conversations on diversity, equity and inclusion”
 
Bespoke packages are available on request, so please do send me a connection request and a DM.

And in case you’re curious, when I’m not empowering our future leaders, I can be found in the gym or walking in the park to compensate for my love of peri-peri chicken, and I’m often travelling or volunteering as the youngest Advisory Board member of the School of Business and Management at Royal Holloway University.

Administrator

I am an enthusiastic and curious business management and economics graduate, passionate about learning and developing in dynamic environments. Over the years, I have gained diverse experience that has shaped my ability to adapt, communicate effectively, and lead with confidence.

From supporting educational initiatives during my placement year to coordinating complex assessment processes, I have learned the value of clear communication, organisation, and stakeholder management. Working closely with apprentices, assessors, and employers taught me how to balance multiple priorities while maintaining high standards of quality and professionalism.

In finance and operations roles, I developed a keen attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and the ability to work under pressure, ensuring processes run smoothly and efficiently. These experiences have also strengthened my teamwork and interpersonal skills, as I have worked alongside colleagues from different backgrounds and across different functions.

Currently, as part of the GMTS Trainee programme, I am building on these foundations to grow into a service management role, where I can combine operational insight, strategic thinking, and people management to deliver impactful results. Being multi-lingual, fluent in Punjabi, Hindi, English, Italian, French, and some German, allows me to connect with a diverse range of people, which I believe is essential in today’s global business environment.

I am eager to continue learning, contributing, and making a meaningful impact while growing as a versatile and well-rounded business professional.
