ABOUT Dan shaikh
Dan Shaikh co-founded Speaker Slam® in 2016, a speaker development
agency that builds speakers into Changemakers & Thought Leaders. He
is best known as the host of North America's largest inspirational
speaking competition.
As a publicist for inspirational changemakers, Dan’s work has catapulted
speakers to secure media coverage, viral opportunities, paid speaking
gigs, TEDx talks, book deals & documentaries. His speakers have
accrued over 500 million views across social media on platforms like
Goalcast, Jay Shetty, Power of Positivity, Chicken Soup for the Soul, and
many more. His events have helped raise over $30,000 for various
charitable causes and have been featured in the media on Global News,
CBC, CTV News, and more, earning him recognition as one of The Peak’s
40 Under 40 Emerging Leaders and Toronto Star’s Gold Star for Public

His own story has been celebrated on Breakfast Television, TEDx,

Toronto, Dan has provided a stage for over 1,000 speakers to share
their inspirational messages. His passion for changing narratives and
breaking stigmas shines through his dedication to promoting diversity,
strength, and positive representation.
Dan's journey from a shy immigrant who once felt voiceless to a leading
figure in the speaking world exemplifies the profound impact of
embracing vulnerability and self-expression. Today, he is committed to
inspiring others to find their authentic voice, share their unique stories,
and ignite global change through the power of speaking.

"Dan Shaikh's support and the platform provided by Speaker Slam were pivotal in transforming my journey from struggling with a stutter to becoming a recognized motivational speaker. Under Dan's creative direction, the high-quality videos produced amplified my message, enabling significant opportunities like speaking at the Archangel Summit alongside notable figures such as Arlene Dickinson and Brendon Bouchard.
Thanks to Dan's efforts and strategic media partnerships, my speeches reached viral status, with nearly 2.5 million views, far exceeding the impact of traditional venues. This not only marked a key milestone in my career but also underscored Dan's commitment to scaling my message and inspiring a global audience.”
