Inspire. Connect. Transform.
We're building a platform where ideas are shared, connections are made, and transformations begin. Welcome to the future of event experiences.
Tolkz™ was born out of a vision to create a space where voices are heard, stories are shared, and impact is amplified beyond borders. Founded by Oliver Nshom, a global speaker, author, and public speaking coach, Tolkz started as a movement to bridge the gap between talented speakers and global opportunities. Recognizing the challenges many speakers face in securing paid gigs, Oliver designed Tolkz as a platform to provide visibility, networking, and training to equip speakers with the tools they need to succeed in the industry.
Tolkz™ hosts free 15-minute talks followed by breakout discussions as a marketing strategy, allowing speakers to gain exposure and connect with potential clients. Our unique subscription-based model provides members with access to a network of national and international speaking engagements, enabling them to monetize their expertise while building a sustainable career in public speaking.
Today, Tolkz has grown into a vibrant marketplace where thousands of events find their perfect attendees, and where people discover experiences that transform their perspectives, skills, and connections.

Testimonials from our community
Life Coach | Speaker | Texas, USA
Tolkz transformed my speaking journey. I had no idea what a speaker’s reel, one-sheet, or speaking contract was. With their guidance, I was able to set up my speaking business from scratch. Now, I’m landing national and international speaking engagements. Tolkz equips you to step out, speak up, and get paid.
Speaker | Coach | Founder, BeGreat Foundation | Cameroon
Before working with Tolkz, I had the passion but no platform. Through their coaching, I learned how to package my story, pitch myself globally, and land my first international speaking engagement. Tolkz didn't just train me — they believed in me. Today, I am speaking with confidence and clarity in rooms I once only dreamed of.
Entrepreneur | Public Speaker | Douala, Cameroon
Tolkz helped me find my voice and amplify it. The coaching was personal, practical, and powerful. I’ve grown in visibility, confidence, and opportunities. If you’re a speaker who’s ready to go global, Tolkz is the bridge between your vision and your next big stage.
Whether you're organizing events, speaking at them, or just looking for meaningful experiences, we'd love to have you join us.
