Vice President
Rabia presented at our 2019 Apex Summit which is our annual national educational conference. In attendance this year we had approximately 1200 financial advisors who pay to attend, so delivering value for their investment is critical. Rabia was one of our keynote speakers and rated the highest of our three guest speakers. Her story, how she delivers it and how she connected the message to the audience was outstanding. Rabia is one of the best; she resonated and delivered an impactful and meaningful message to every single person in that audience. Not only did our survey results reflect her outstanding presentation, but so did the standing ovation and the many comments that followed - from a group that is typically very difficult to impress. She is outstanding in every way, I would highly recommend her to any audience.

Rabia provided us with a pre-recorded message tailored to our business requirements, aligning her incredible stories and insights with our organisation’s values and our strategic priority of fostering a speak-up culture.
We were a little unsure if a pre-recorded message would be as engaging as other live events the Women In Pharma group had already hosted, but there was no need for concern. Most webinar attendees shared that Rabia’s emotion was palpable and they felt as though she was speaking directly to them, something Rabia had guaranteed us in the negotiation process.
Our senior business leaders left the following comments - ‘Wow just incredible!’ and ‘Wow, that almost brought me to tears, but a great reminder of the human spirit.’ Feedback from other employees was equally as positive with one webinar attendee sharing - ‘What an amazing story, it lit a fire in me and has given me the drive to be the change I want to see, especially when it’s out of my comfort zone.’

From the moment we reached out to Rabia, she proved outstanding to work with. No request seemed to trouble her, instead, she seemed to enjoy the challenge!
Rabia’s communication in the lead up to the conference was a testament to not only her work ethic but how well her talk was able to impact our audience.
Not only was Rabia dressed impeccably, but she was also on time and hungry to know even more about our audience than we had previously discussed.
Rabia was able to engage with our audience, captivating them until her last word – without the aid of notes or slides. You could have heard a pin drop the entire talk. A typically hard-to-please audience gave her a standing ovation and promptly swarmed her upon exit – shaking her hand and thanking her.
I simply cannot recommend Rabia highly enough and will be sure to book her again at some point down the road.
General Manager
I was mesmerised by Rabia’s story and the lessons that she so easily shared. After one spellbinding hour, we all shared our thoughts and reactions to what we had just experienced. The positivity, unity and desire to be better at what we do, to find our voice, and to be the change we want in this world. Rabia is simply compelling and captivating.
National Conference Co-Convenor
Rabia’s keynote presentation was the perfect opening to UN Youth National Conference. Her story was inspiring and empowering, and the audience was on the edge of their seats throughout. Rabia engaged effortlessly with the teenage conference delegates. Her understanding of youth leadership and ability to encourage young people to be innovators and change-makers was impressive. We would not hesitate to invite Rabia to speak again.
President
I was never in any doubt that our members would take Rabia to their hearts. The feedback I received following her keynote was so positive. Attendees were genuinely moved and uplifted by Rabia’s honesty and her message of hope and resilience. Best speaker of the conference and the best speaker I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.
Events and Marketing Manager
We’re still shivering! Impactful doesn’t come close. Rabia was amazing, truly inspiring and the best speaker I have ever heard.
General Manager
Rabia’s presentation was inspirational. In the business context we often talk about the importance of composure, keeping the goal in mind and making a difference. To see this brought to life in a real world context where lives are at stake is both humbling and inspirational. It helps put things back into context.
Director
Rabia kindly delivered a keynote for a population of our most senior executive leaders, as a follow-on component of an Executive Development Leadership Program. Rabia is a highly proficient, impactful and passionate speaker. Her personal story and authentic presentation style resonated across our senior executive population, which can be a tough ask when faced with a room of typically highly sceptical individuals.
Rabia took the time to get to know us and our desired outcomes prior to the event. She customised her messaging to align with our goals, creating meaning and impact for our audience. She was highly committed and personally invested to make the event a success, which made it an absolute pleasure to partner with her.

Director
“At our CEO Summit on Feb 5, 2020, we were privileged to open the day with a presentation from Rabia. This was a powerful, emotional, and riveting talk. The theme of The Summit was GROW, and the demonstration of growth and development outlined by Rabia went a long way to creating the success the day became. Those in attendance were full of positive reviews and rated Rabia more than 9 out of 10. I am looking for further opportunities to hear Rabia speak. We are proud that she is a member of the CEO Institute.”
