TKH students engage in a thought-provoking session on communication, authenticity, and confidence.
The auditorium at The Knowledge Hub (TKH) was alive with energy as students gathered for an inspiring talk by renowned TV host and media personality Ramy Radwan. Titled “Own Your Ideas: Speak Your Mind, Sharpen Your Voice,” the session offered more than just advice—it sparked reflection, dialogue, and a renewed sense of empowerment among attendees.
The event opened with a dynamic student-led panel featuring Mariam Hisham and Hashim Khalifa, who posed bold and insightful questions to Radwan about his personal journey in media, the challenges of staying authentic in a competitive industry, and what it truly means to have an impactful voice.
Throughout the conversation, Radwan emphasised a central message: effective communication can change lives. Whether in classrooms, interviews, or boardrooms, the ability to express ideas clearly and confidently is a skill that opens doors. He offered practical techniques for structuring thoughts, managing nerves during public speaking, and captivating an audience with authenticity.
One of the session’s most powerful moments came during the open Q&A. When asked how he stays true to himself in a competitive media landscape, Radwan acknowledged the pressures of conformity:
“That pressure is real. But I’ve learned that trying to sound like everyone else just makes you forgettable. What people connect with is you—your story, your voice.”
Addressing the topic of public criticism, Radwan’s response resonated deeply with students.
“Feedback can sting,” he admitted, “but if you let your ego go and listen carefully, it can be the best tool for growth.”
The conversation ranged from handling high-pressure live TV scenarios to the growing role of social media in shaping communication. Radwan noted that while digital platforms create more personal connections, they also require clarity and self-awareness.
“You’ve got to know who you are. Because when you don’t, the noise online can easily drown you out.”
In response to questions about staying sharp in a fast-paced media world, Radwan stressed the importance of continuous learning.
“You can’t speak with confidence if you don’t have substance. Reading, staying curious, and being well-informed—that’s what gives your words weight.”
He encouraged students to embrace lifelong learning not only for professional success but also to become stronger thinkers and communicators.
The session concluded with a sense of inspiration and empowerment. Students left not just entertained, but with a deeper appreciation for the power of their own voices—and the responsibility that comes with using them well.
