"I am very happy to recommend Anis as your next keynote speaker! I booked Anis for our annual Pearson sales conference as I loved her highlights and showreel videos. For the last couple of years our keynotes, although they have been amazing, have not had specific sales experience and have also, entirely been from the same demographic as in they have all been male. I was looking for a more diverse guest and as I learned more about Anis’ passion for mindfulness, and how this applies to a sales community, I was really excited. The preparation process, including ordering a copy of her book for every member of my team, was also seamless. Thank you Anis for your contribution to our annual event." Sales Director, Pearson
"In addition to her natural comedic abilities, Anis’ keynote was very insightful. She had us engaged from start to finish and we as a team took a lot from it." Senior Development Manager, Pearson
"Since your keynote, I am hearing alot of people talking about mindfulness and how they are trialling it with the headspace app so it sounds like your talk really resonated with people." Regional Marketing Manager, Axis Communications
"I really enjoyed AGILE MINDSET session and so did the team. Anis is really engaging and created a lot of energy in the room. I took away some good tips on managing mindfulness and refocusing." Team Leader, American Express
"Thank you for an amazing keynote on Wednesday [annual sales kick-off]. We’ve received high remarks and compliments from our colleagues this week. People thought the presentation was refreshing, funny, and exciting." DLL Group
"We’re implementing so many amazing take aways from your session to the team." Head of Global Strategic Marketing, DLL, USA
"On behalf of London Economic Action Partnership and the Mayor of London, we cannot thank Anis enough for joining us as a speaker. She found the perfect balance between inspiring, spurring the audience to take action and offering practical steps to get it done. She really took the time to understand our audience of diverse business owners, their challenges and the impact we wanted to make. Anis you crafted a talk that well and truly delivered – Fabulous! We received so much incredible feedback – they said they found inspiration and received practical advice to help them break through barriers and achieve the potential. It was also great to see the buzz on social media (the mayor did some posts as well)." Hannah Simbo, Event Manager, Newable
