Josh McCartney is a public speaking coach and trainer based in Dubai, and a two-time TEDx speaker. His talks, “Memory techniques” and “How communication shapes your reality”, reflect what he teaches every day: clear ideas, delivered with confidence, change how people think and act.
Josh is the founder of School of Life, a Dubai community where people practise speaking in a supportive room, and the Confident Speaker Accelerator, a cohort program that takes people from a blank page to a full signature talk. His approach is simple and structured. He breaks a talk into a proven template, from the opening hook through to the story, the lesson and the close, so speakers always know what to say next and why it works.
His corporate clients include Nokia, Adidas, Forbes Global Properties, Qube and Imtiaz Developments. He trains teams and leaders to present, pitch and communicate with confidence, without sounding scripted or salesy.
Josh also teaches coaches, consultants and business owners how to sell from the stage. He sold over 100 people into his own group training in under three months, using the same speaking and sales templates he now shares with clients. His Full Room Method shows entrepreneurs how to fill a room and sell their offer to it, with no tech background needed.
With over 700,000 followers on TikTok, plus a growing audience on Instagram and LinkedIn, Josh shares practical speaking tips that make communication feel easy and human.
