About Me

Born and raised in the village of Tonga, Cameroon, Elvis Prince Tognia’s journey is a powerful testament to resilience and transformation. Shy for nearly his entire life, Elvis struggled to find his voice and was so reserved that he couldn’t even raise his hand in the classroom. Moving to the United States as an adult without knowing a word of English, he embarked on an extraordinary journey to master the language and develop skills in storytelling, public speaking, and authentic human connection.

Today, Elvis is the founder of Speaking with Elvis, a company dedicated to empowering individuals and organizations with exceptional communication skills. His programs and keynote speeches focus on cultural inclusion, diversity, and strategies for standing out in a noisy world. From delivering tailored training sessions to leading transformative bootcamps like Master the Art of Communication, Elvis equips his audience with the tools to inspire confidence and communicate with impact.

Elvis is also an accomplished author of Rise to Your Best Life and Light up Your Life. His upcoming book, The Power of One Thing, inspires readers to discover and pursue their singular purpose with clarity and passion. Through his books, masterclasses, and speaking engagements, Elvis has become a beacon of inspiration, helping others break barriers and unleash their potential.

When he’s not on stage or writing, Elvis is busy planning his next venture—a podcast to amplify his message of resilience, focus, and connection. A proud Cameroonian-American, Elvis remains deeply rooted in his heritage, using his story to inspire others to embrace their uniqueness and rise above challenges.
