“PRACTICAL. MEANINGFUL. MOVING.
Riaz’s thought-provoking keynote at our Power of Connection conference was one of our highest rated sessions. He brought to life the realities of loneliness and the power we each have to create authentic human connection, especially in the exhausting and distracted world we live in. His vulnerability motivated our leaders to explore how we can cultivate collaborative relationships and build a more connected culture. I really appreciated Riaz’s care in crafting the session based around the needs of our people and his skill in embedding insights about our specific team / business. He made our team feel heard and seen and it was exactly what our people needed as we close out a busy year and look forward to forging deeper connections in the new year.”

Riaz was one of the best speakers we have had the pleasure of working with at Microsoft. From our first call with him, you could tell he was heavily invested in making this session a valuable experience for our organization and spent an incredible amount of time prior to the event learning about the team, our culture, and our challenges. Riaz cleverly weaved this information into his presentation which made it feel very personal and highly relevant. His story telling, compassion, and honesty resonated tremendously well with the audience, and the feedback from the team was extremely positive.

“Riaz Meghji was one of the most captivating keynote speakers at the ASAE executive leadership conference in Vancouver. Associations are in the people and relationship businesses. Riaz’s thought provoking insights on human connectivity, engagement, and the importance of being a trusted source, reinforced the value of associations and why the industry is critical now more than ever before. The collective impact of bringing people together to accomplish great things can have widespread global influence.”

Riaz provided dedicated and customized coaching to our hosts from beginning right through to the very end. He played to each of their strengths and provided these leaders with a simple framework to be able to fulfill their role of hosts in a way that was authentic to them. The result was tremendous. All our hosts were able to effectively tell their stories and connect to the audience in a way that was impactful. They delivered as host seamlessly – with a real confidence while showcasing a level of vulnerability that truly resonated with the audience. Thank you again Riaz for partnering with us.

When I think impact, I think Riaz Meghji’s keynote. Truly. If I had to describe his session it would be GAME-CHANGING. It struck a chord not just with me but with the entire audience, inspiring us to pause and think about how we can elevate our human connections as leaders and also as individuals and then translate that into business impact.
I absolutely recommend this keynote as it has application for all industries and all departments. Operating in a more human and customer-centric way is just plain good for business – with our colleagues across all departments and of course with our customers. This session is not just meant for Sales and Marketing – it is meant for us as people – what we can do as a collective when focusing on human connection is limitless.

Riaz kicked off 3 days of keynote speakers in the most perfect way. From his presentation to his continuous engagement with our Brooks Team, Riaz is a force for positivity in this world, and there is no doubt in my mind that he has made a lasting impact on all of us that got the opportunity to hear him speak.

Riaz created an unforgettable series of presentations at our most recent virtual event. His ability to create a connection with an audience is more than impressive. We pride ourselves in creating educational, entertaining and engaging experiences for our clients and he delivered in all three areas. Riaz was the highlight of the entire event and received the highest ratings of any speaker. We can’t wait to have him back.
