Ruqya Khan
Ruqya Khan is the founder of SMILETASTIC, she is an internationally honoured change maker. Leading from chaos to clarity, she sees herself more as a S.M.I.L.E. Strategist than a motivational speaker or life coach. She is a wordsmith – she works with words; delivering stories in print and on stage.

She is a Master Practitioner of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Hypnosis and Time Line Therapy® and a certified Life Coach with the International Coaching Federation. Earlier this year she presented her S.M.I.L.E. strategy at the Gross Global Happiness Summit 2021, an Executive Education event hosted annually through the University for Peace, established by the General Assembly of the United Nations. She has spoken and twice been felicitated for her contribution at the Women Economic Forum. She has delivered talks during the Happiness Carnival conducted in Dubai by the Prime Minister’s Office. She coached students and educationalists at the International Youth Leadership and Innovation Forum in Singapore.
