Personalized Author Talk
A focused conversation built around the stories, ideas, and lessons that matter most to your audience.
A More Personal Way to Explore Life Lessons
I shape each talk around the setting, audience, and purpose of the event. Drawing from my books, wrestling background, and personal journey, I share experiences that make larger themes such as resilience, discipline, identity, and growth easier to understand.
The session can be reflective, interactive, or discussion-led, depending on what suits the occasion. Audiences hear the context behind the writing, gain a closer view of the person behind the pages, and have space to consider how the lessons connect with their own lives.
Ideal For
Schools and universities
Community and cultural events
Book clubs and literary groups
Teams seeking thoughtful perspective
How It Works

Shape The Talk: I tailor the stories and lessons to create a relevant session.

About
I am Hooman Tavakolian, a coach, author, leader, and lifelong seeker of truth. My journey has moved from Wall Street and wrestling mats to philanthropy, storytelling, and building bridges across cultures. I help people find strength through struggle, lead with authenticity, and remember the value of kindness. What sets my work apart is the belief that no one is truly self-made, and that every challenge can become a lesson in grit, gratitude, and human connection.
