I’m Sobiya

I am Sobiya Jawaid, a former European Silver Medallist Kickboxer turned Leadership and Confidence Coach, Keynote Speaker, and DEIB Consultant. My mission is to empower leaders and organisations by helping them cultivate confidence, foster diversity, and create a strong sense of belonging in the workplace, enabling everyone to thrive.

My journey has been marked by breaking barriers and pursuing excellence. As the first hijab-wearing, female, British Muslim Black Belt Kickboxer to represent England at the European level, I proudly won a silver medal. I have come to understand the power of resilience, determination, and self-belief. The values, purpose, and vision that played an integral role in my success in kickboxing now serve as the foundation for my leadership coaching and consultancy work, where my ultimate goal is to inspire transformation in leaders and teams.

My Path from Kickboxing to Coaching and Consultacy

Combining my athletic achievements with professional expertise, I offer a unique perspective that resonates with diverse audiences. I am dedicated to helping individuals and organisations reach their full potential by embracing their values, building confidence, and fostering an inclusive culture.

Enrich your events with informed perspectives on leadership, diversity, and personal development. As an expert panelist, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to discussions, providing valuable insights that stimulate thought and inspire change.
