From Debating in Bangladesh & Malaysia to £5M Fundraisers in London and over £3.5M in sales.
Hey everyone! I’m Araf Bin Tarek, and I’m thrilled to finally join this space.
I’ve spent the last decade obsessed with a single question: How do some people walk into a room and instantly command trust, while others—with the same skills—go unheard?
My journey to find the answer took me from student debating in Bangladesh and Malaysia to the corporate boardrooms of Southeast Asia, and eventually to the UK, where I now lead multi-million-pound fundraising campaigns for NRB Hospital.
Whether I was lecturing at Kingston University or helping developers grow at Showwcase, I realized that the "missing link" in most careers isn't technical skill—it’s The Rapport Factor.
🌍 What I’ve learned along the way:
- Negotiation isn't a battle: It’s an exercise in structured empathy.
- Public Speaking isn't about the stage: It’s about the person in the back row feeling seen.
- Leadership isn't a title: It’s the ability to persuade people toward a shared vision (like building a 250-bed hospital from the ground up!).
I’m currently bridging the worlds of healthcare impact and professional empowerment, but my true passion lies in helping others master the art of the "meaningful connection."
So, I decided to start "THE RAPPORT NETWORK"
I’m building a community right here dedicated to connecting, persuading, and leading. This isn't just about "networking"—it’s about mastering public speaking, high-stakes negotiation, and the structured conversations that actually move the needle in life and business.
I’d love to get to know you all: What is the ONE communication challenge that has held you back from your next big promotion or deal? Let’s solve it together.
Looking forward to building with you all! 🚀
