Testimonials

Refreshing. Made a genuine difference to the team – given them the tools to understand their own blockers and how to overcome them.
Landmarks Information Group

I booked Anis Qizilbash for our annual Pearson sales conference as I loved her highlights and showreel videos on her really helpful website. 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.
Sales Director, Pearson

I really enjoyed AGILE MINDSET Masterclass and so did the team. Anis Qizilbash is really engaging and created a lot of energy in the room with her activities. I took away some good tips on managing mindfulness and refocusing.
Team Leader, American Express

COO, Meadow Foods

On behalf of London Economic Action Partnership and the Mayor of London, we cannot thank Anis enough for joining us as a speaker at London’s Diverse Entrepreneurs at City Hall! Anis was a knockout keynote 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).
Event Manager, Newable

Anis Qizilbash was a keynote speaker at our London CXFO Conference. She was brilliant, engaged the audience from the first minute to the last, getting them involved and displaying a knowledge of her subject few can match. Her speech has been a highly commended in the audience receiving fantastic feedback from everyone there. As a public speaker myself I was surprised and delighted by her energy clarity and the way she commanded the attention of everyone in the room.

She certainly taught me several lessons. She is a consummate professional and I wholeheartedly recommend her both as a speaker and as an expert in applying mindfulness in practical ways that change outcomes for organisations. She has completely changed my view on the subject and if you have the chance to hear her……I am sure she will change yours.
Chairman, CXFO

A fantastic speaker – thorough, dedicated and insightful. We spoke in advance to talk through my ‘vision’ and Anis immediately came up with the ideas on what to talk about and how to deliver it. She delivered the presentation faultlessly, was extremely authentic and our audience of business owners from a variety of sectors and business size found her [and I quote] “inspiring and uplifting.
