In a rapidly globalizing world, communication isn’t just about what you say — it’s about how, where, and to whom you say it. For Mohammad Tabrizian, a public speaker, writer, and cultural connector, this isn’t theory. It’s his life’s work.
With deep roots in both the UAE and the UK, and fluency in English, Arabic, and Farsi, Mohammad has built a career not just on eloquence, but on empathy — guiding others to speak across borders, identities, and assumptions.
🌐 Language Is More Than Words
Studies from the Harvard Business Review show that cross-cultural miscommunication costs global businesses billions each year, often due to unspoken norms, tone, or misunderstanding intent. Mohammad tackles these challenges head-on through storytelling, emotional intelligence, and cultural fluency.
He’s not just teaching people to speak — he’s teaching them to listen across cultures.
“The most powerful speakers aren’t always the loudest,” he says. “They’re the ones who speak with cultural awareness and emotional presence.”
📘 A Life Between Two Worlds
Mohammad’s book Bridging the Gulf captures this duality. Part memoir, part message, it tells stories of navigating communication styles in both Eastern and Western settings — from quiet respect in a Sharjah gathering to open debate in a Leeds lecture hall.
He reflects on accents, pauses, eye contact, even silence — and how meaning shifts from one culture to another. His conclusion? We don’t need to speak the same way to understand one another — we just need to care enough to try.
🗣️ Building a Culture of Speaking
Through Eloquence Academy, Mohammad has helped thousands find their voice — not to mimic a single standard, but to express their truth with pride. His work resonates particularly with multilingual speakers, immigrants, and youth who often feel “in between” languages or identities.
Each year, his Voices of Tomorrow summit gathers aspiring speakers from across the Middle East, Europe, and beyond, proving that communication can be a tool for both leadership and healing.
🔗 Why This Matters Now
As the world becomes more connected — and more divided — the ability to communicate across cultures is no longer a soft skill. It’s a survival skill.
Mohammad Tabrizian is leading that movement with grace and grit, reminding us that every voice is shaped by the stories it’s lived — and those stories deserve to be heard.
