How Quintilian is Revolutionizing Public Speaking: An Interview with the Founder

In this episode of the Meaqat Brand Spotlight, we interview the visionary founder of Quintilian, a communication and refinement center that is redefining what it means to be a "public speaker." While most communication centers focus on "glamorous packaging," Quintilian prioritizes visible competence and student results. Their philosophy is simple: if the students aren't speaking with depth and intellectual rigor, the training has failed. Beyond Fluency: Why Quintilian focuses on training public intellectuals rather than just speakers. The 15-Minute Rule: How their unique pedagogical process limits instructor talking time to just 15 minutes per hour, forcing students to master the craft through practice. Navigating Religious Identity: A candid look at staying true to Islamic values while scaling a brand that serves a diverse global audience, including the diaspora in the UK and Ireland. Penetrating Corporate Industries: How visible competence and high-level networking allowed Quintilian to enter the petroleum and government sectors. The Future of Quintilian: Details on the new Abuja branch and the mission to scale these "novel processes" across Africa.
