Ayo Awotona

International Public Speaker, Presenter and Mentor that specialises in confidence building for girls and young women

Ayo Awotona is a female public speaker and mentor that specialises in confidence building for girls and young women. Ayo has spoken at conferences internationally as well as visited various parts of the world speaking to thousands of students delivering high impact workshops and assemblies that increase confidence, aspirations and attitude towards education.

Growing up, Ayo struggled with low self-esteem and never knew who she was as an individual, so she craved attention and validation from others. She was someone who appeared rather 'tough' and 'confident' on the outside, but behind closed doors, she would often question the purpose of her life and wanted it to end on a regular basis.

Thankfully, after many years, she was able to get out of that dark place. She started teaching herself how to be confident and realised that the key to being confident was learning to trust herself and believe in her own ability. She had to realise that she didn't need to compare herself to anyone else!

There are still millions of females who don't realise the power they have within themselves. Therefore, Ayo's aim is to uplift, empower, educate and let individuals know that we are great and greatness lives within each and every one of us!

Topic areas include: body image, self-esteem and confidence, growth mindset, peer pressure, dealing with fear, dreaming big, motivation and resilience.

Student outcomes include: how to manage the influences of social media and the impact it has on self-esteem, the ability to recognise, accept and shape their unique identities, boosted confidence and much more...

Methods of delivery: Motivational talks/assemblies, workshops, mentoring, extended programme packages
