TEKHA TAREK SELIM
“Dream, Believe, Achieve” Seminars: Tekha takes audience members on a
journey from his birth through his last year of high school, sharing the pain and suffering he
encountered as an overweight kid who constantly was taunted and teased by his classmates,
teachers, and even family members. His stories are a heart wrenching look into the lonely life of
a bullied teen. But Tekha also shares how he found the amazing strength to change his life
forever by replacing bad habits with good habits. Through exercise and healthy diet, Tekha was
able to lose 144 lbs. (65 kg.) in 11 months and achieve his dream of becoming a professional
basketball player for Team Egypt. With the message “If you can dream it, you can do it,” Tekha
inspires not only those who want to lose weight – but anyone who has a goal, whatever that goal
may be. His presentation is a true testament that you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

The Audience…
Tekha Group was founded by Tekha shortly after he lost weight and saw how it had
changed his life for the better in so many ways. Because he knew firsthand how difficult
everyday life can be for a severely obese person, he set out to help others fight and win their
battles with obesity. He did this by joining forces with other professionals -- who like him --
wanted to promote fitness and healthy lifestyles. Tekha Group began sponsoring seminars,
clinics, workshops, athletic competitions and producing videos to motivate people to replace
their bad habits with good habits. He soon realized that his mantra “Dream, Believe, Achieve”
really applies to everyone with a goal – whether it is weight loss, quitting smoking, becoming a
better athlete or something else. Thus, Tekha Group evolved into an organization promoting
healthy physical, mental and emotional lifestyles. As Tekha travels the world as the group’s
primary motivational speaker, he bravely uses his own story of pain and anguish and his
transformation into a better self to help others realize their dreams.
