My journey

From breathing to Speaking

My work began with breath. It grew into a belief in what our voices can do.

Portrait of Fazla Dulficar

I made history as the first woman from New Zealand Toastmasters District 72 to reach the International Speech Contest Semifinals in 2025.

But that achievement is only one part of my story.

Every voice has a story. Sometimes, finding it requires courage, resilience and a willingness to step beyond our comfort zone.

My passion for public speaking began in childhood and continued through school debating, where I served as a debate team captain.

After migrating to New Zealand, I experienced the challenge of building a new life and finding the confidence to express myself in a new environment. It taught me that finding your voice is something we grow into.

As a Respiratory Scientist, I’ve always been fascinated by the power of breathing. Over time, I discovered the connection between breath, voice and presence. That connection inspired my 2025 Toastmasters journey and my message, “Our Power Within.”

Today, through ForteSpeak, I help people find their message, build confidence and share their stories with purpose.

That journey led me to create the FORTE Method — a simple framework to help speakers find their message, connect with their audience and turn their words into impact.

Your voice is unique. Your story is valuable.

The FORTE Method

From an idea in your head to an impact in the room.

Every powerful message begins with an idea. The FORTE Method takes you through five steps to turn that idea into something your audience can understand, connect with and remember.

IDEA

  1. F — FIND YOUR MESSAGE

    What matters?

    Discover the message you want your audience to remember — and why it matters.

  2. O — ORGANISE YOUR STORY

    What is the story?

    Shape your ideas into a clear and compelling journey.

  3. R — REACH YOUR AUDIENCE

    Who am I speaking to?

    Create a genuine connection with your audience and make your message resonate.

  4. T — TRANSFORM THROUGH DELIVERY

    How will I bring it to life?

    Use your voice, pace, pauses and presence to make your words come alive.

  5. E — ELEVATE WITH IMPACT

    What will they take away?

    Leave your audience with something meaningful and inspire them to act.

From idea → message → connection → delivery → impact

That is the FORTE journey.
