“RIAZ WAS A SUPERB CHOICE AS KEYNOTE SPEAKER FOR OUR HOTEL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE!

His message about authentic connection was timely and meaningful, and our attendees raved about his session. The hospitality business, and really every business, is about people! Riaz’s tips for transcending small talk to get to extraordinary relationships were inspiring and practical for our attendees, both at work and in their personal lives. Riaz customized the message for our audience, even using specific hotel examples to make his points. He was invested in the mindset of the attendees, and he took time before and during the conference to connect with the producers and attendees alike. Highly recommend!”

“MANY OF US ARE STILL ON A HIGH - YOUR PRESENTATION WAS TRULY REFRESHING, INSPIRING, AND MOTIVATING!

It was above and beyond what we had hoped for. Thank you for being such an authentic and engaging speaker and storyteller, and providing important guidance on human connection that we, as an organization, can all reflect on. You have helped set a positive and hopeful tone as we say goodbye to a difficult but successful two years and welcome the first year of our new, four-year strategic plan.”

“HAVING HEARD RIAZ SPEAK TWICE NOW, I TOOK MANY INSIGHTS AWAY TO APPLY TO BOTH MY PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL LIVES.

If you have not had the honour of hearing Riaz speak or read his book, please do it. The topic of connecting with impact and purpose and the power of reflecting on your most important conversation you have ever had, as well as the ones you have not yet had is life changing.”

– JOHN HUTHERSALL

“RIAZ WAS PHENOMENAL. HE WAS ONE OF THOSE KEYNOTES OUR COMMUNITY WILL CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT FOR YEARS TO COME.

He clearly did his research and worked hard to prepare by having multiple conversations with us and our members; that really showed. Plus his comments were applicable to their world, both business and personal, and left everyone energized. He had a line of folks wanting to talk with him after the general session and the same was true at the reception that followed. He’s the only keynote we’ve ever had who attended the Newcomer’s Orientation prior to the opening general session and stayed for the entire reception that followed. He must have been exhausted but he didn’t show it.”

– Marketing Manager, Gore Mutual

He has a remarkable ability to captivate an audience, entertain them, and humour them while at the same time ensuring important messages and information are effectively communicated. He does all of this while demonstrating humility and an ability to relate to a diverse range of audiences.”
