A Life-Changing Moment From Struggle to Inspiration

I’ve lived with a stammer for as long as I can remember. As a kid, speaking up in class or even holding a simple conversation felt like an impossible task. That all began to change when my teacher, Matthew Burton, believed in me and gave me the support I needed to find my voice.

That journey was shared with the nation on Educating Yorkshire, where my breakthrough moment inspired millions.

I went on to study Broadcast Journalism at university, learning how to use my voice not just to speak, but to tell stories that matter.

Now, I travel the country delivering talks in schools about various topics and working with corporate audiences on leadership, resilience, and the incredible impact one person’s belief can have on another’s life.

What People Are Saying About My Keynotes

Musharaf delivered a wonderful talk on his determination to learn, manage his stammer and find his voice. His warmth and humour were immediately apparent and put the audience of 400+ at ease. Many parents came up afterwards to say how good Musharraf was. I would thoroughly recommend him as a prize giving speaker.

Adrian Floyd The Hawthorn School

What can we say about Mushy? Musharaf definitely knows how to inspire and motivate audiences. We are a college in the heart of Stevenage with our kids being from deprived areas. Mushy was able to tailor his speech towards our students and it was perfect. Mushy’s life was very similar to the students we spoke to which is the main reason we loved his session.

Chris Buist North Hertfordshire College

Mushy was asked to deliver a keynote to our Year 11 cohort of students. In the past, we have had many speakers but Mushy is definitely one we will never forget. Many students after the session he delivered expressed how motivated and inspired they were by his words! Highly recommended and definitely a really lovely individual!

Ricky Patel The Hodge Hill School

We don’t really have many guest speakers at our school but I was really curious to see how Mushy was as a speaker as I heard it was great at a nearby school. Mushy was better than expected. As part of our wellbeing week, Mushy was asked to attend and speak about his journey. All our students loved Mushy and I can’t recommend him enough.

Foxfield Primary School Greenwich

We are a Canadian charity which works across the entire globe empowering students to accept themselves for who they are. We heard about Mushy all the way in Canada and wanted Mushy to speak at our event at the SSE Arena in London. In the past, we have had speakers such as Selena Gomez, Karim Abdul Jabaar, Joe Jonas, Lilly Singh and many more.

Anisah Dass WE Day

Apprenticeships is something we pride ourselves in. Although Mushy didn’t do an apprenticeship himself we felt his journey was very inspiring and motivating. Mushy was perfect for our presentation evening. We were very surprised to his humor and loved how created such an atmosphere. Thank you Mushy for speaking to us and we definitely look forward to booking you again.

Huw Chapman PETA Apprenticeships

We loved having Mushy speak to our speech about stammering and explaining the importance of self-acceptance. As speech and language therapist it’s our duty to help those with any kind of disability with regards to language and speech. Mushy was perfect for the session. He described the importance of speech and made us realize how fortunate we are to be able to speak to fluently.

Gloucestershire University

At NYBEP, we work alongside schools and companies to deliver the best work experience to students within schools. Mushy was invited to express how working with local companies as part of work experience allowed him to feel much more comfortable once leaving school. We loved Mushy’s session and fell in love in his way of storytelling! Definitely one of the best speakers we’ve heard.

Usman Manzoor NYBEP Conference

We were delighted that Mushy was able to open the Closing Ceremony at our annual Summer Institute training event for teachers once again. Alongside his story, Mushy is a true professional to work with – humble, appreciative and easy to engage with. It was fantastic to work with him again in 2019, and would not hesitate to invite him to speak at future events.
