On his website, Dave Crane claims to be the world's best MC, a master motivational trainer, an expert hypnotist and a so-called "life designer".
Clearly, the 45-year-old Briton is not one who's short on confidence.
On Wednesday, he'll aim to pass on some of his self-belief to an audience at the More Cafe in DIFC.
Crane is a prominent figure in Dubai, having lived there for 18 years. Previously, he was a DJ and manager at various radio stations before moving into motivational speaking as a profession.
He's also a well-known MC, covering the annual Dubai Rugby Sevens tournament for more than a decade.
While a good proportion of his work is with corporate clients, he says his speech at the cafe will be less business-orientated.
"The theme of the speech will be 'how to create your own brand', but brand is not like a company. I mean one's mindset, relationships and business," he explains.
"My speech will be covering eight major areas: family, money, happiness, confidence, health, career, romance and life purpose. I think this covers all aspects of life that people are trying to improve upon."
While there is an over-abundance of self-help and motivational experts out there, Crane insists his message is unique.
"You know, 99 per cent of self-improvement books basically say the same thing, they just deliver their message slightly differently," he says.
"But as I've lived in the UAE for so long, I can tailor my message to the UAE, and make it a survival guide for this country."
More Talks with Dave Crane takes place at More Cafe, DIFC, from 6.30pm to 8pm Wednesday. Entry is free, but because seats are limited, one must RSVP at www.rsvp-invitation.com/MORETalksJune
