About the Author: Sunjay Nath MBA, BScE, CSP
Sunjay believes that we are all a great many things, leaders included! As a professional speaker, he travels the world sharing his insights and stories, helping students motivate themselves to achieve their goals and to get involved both in and outside of classes. He wants to spread the word that the largest hurdles that we need to overcome to achieve our goals are perhaps not where we'd expect them to be: they're often in our own minds and ingrained in our own perception of the world!
As a speaker, Sunjay has traveled extensively and add
ressed almost a million people about leadership around the world since 1995. Starting an international speaking business at the age of 19 was no easy task for Sunjay, especially because he wasn't even old enough to rent a car! This was particularly problematic when he would travel.
Nonetheless, years later in 2005, Sunjay became the third youngest person in the world to earn his Certified Speaking professional designation, which is the highest internationally recognized designation a speaker can achieve. He has also served as President of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers Toronto Chapter.
Whereas speaking has been a part of his life for a great many years, Sunjay has also explored a variety of other paths along the way. He was a founding Vice President of an e-learning company based in Toronto that has gone on to become a multimillion-dollar company. Prior to that position, he worked as an engineer for a distribution company in New York, and served as a camp director for several years at a camp that focuses on developing leadership skills in students. He has held positions with H&R Block and Bank of Montreal. In addition, Sunjay holds an undergraduate degree in Mathematical Engineering and a Masters in Business Administration. While at school, he acted as President of his Engineering Discipline.
Sunjay loves playing Ultimate Frisbee, will do anything for an afternoon nap, considers Legoland the 8th wonder of the world, and is beginning to notice that sometimes, the best ideas are found in the most unlikely of places! He has earned a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, has run a full 26 mile marathon and has even jumped out of a perfectly good plane (some call it skydiving).
He is a magician, a comedian, a professional actor; he can juggle and he was rated as one of the country's top debaters. With his background, Sunjay offers a rare combination of both left and right brain activities that will keep all audience members captivated and laughing.
