I’ve now done a ton of webinars (like everyone else in this new normal) and I’ve not seen someone more mindful about webinar structure and also webinar flow than Soulaima. Christina K. Lopes, CEO, FiduCure
“It has been my great pleasure to have had Soulaima share her talents as a speaker and especially a moderator at our Annual Meeting, the HOPE Global Forums. Her preparation is bar none, but most importantly, she brings out the best in each speaker (whom all have differing levels of comfort presenting), putting them at ease and allowing them to shine in their particular area of expertise. This translates to sessions that are consistently the highest rated in our extensive program, as the audience becomes as highly engaged as our contributors. I have booked thousands of speakers and hundreds of moderators throughout the years. If I was to start a new program tomorrow, the first person I would sign up would be Soulaima.I am available to answer any questions or elaborate further on any of the above. I strongly recommend adding Soulaima to your program as well.” Kevin E. Boucher, Operation Hope, Atlanta

Sandy Rodgers
www.KeepAmericaStrongInc.org“Soulaima was our best moderator at the world economic forum YGL gender parity concerned organized in conjunction with the Stanford institute for economic policy and research. In addition to preparing well on the topic, Soulaima has the unique ability to completely bring any room alive, capture their attention, make them listen, excite them while she introduced the panelists. If one of your panelists goes over time she will let them know without words, with polite but very decisive body posture, thanking them like they never did anything wrong but giving them no choice. She elevates any panelists to the moon, making them sound like they are the most interesting person on the planet. Your audience will never forget a panel moderated by Soulaima, she is the best choice you can make.”

CEO Abeo A/S“I just want to say that we were overjoyed for your efforts. You were well prepared and you were good at first, to keep the panelists on the trail, and to get them to flourish in a way that I have rarely experienced.
But above all, you showed an energy, enthusiasm and commitment that made the meeting much more dynamic and exciting than I had thought was possible. I have no doubt that it was your profit, which made the SU event so successful and that many came with positive comments afterwards.
Therefore I say once again thank you for your help. We are very grateful that you would take on the task and very much hope to be able to repeat the success at a later date.”

Lone Granzow Andersen
Business Development Centre – Southern Denmark“Thanks a lot to Soulaima Gourani for the sublime handling of the TDC event on May 14. Soulaima Gourani was an inspiration to all participants. I have received positive feedback about the event, where, in particular, her speech received a lot of praise. Several of the participants said that they felt reverent when Soulaima was talking and that she gave them exactly the networking injection that they needed.”
Peter Würtz Madsen, TDC“Soulaima and I met briefly in World Economic Forum Davos 2018 and we stayed in online touch thereafter her inspirational talk. When I was hosting a Nerd9 Night at Palo Alto in September 2019, I discussed it with Soulaima that how it was a true challenge with new location, speakers, and where all perspectives are to be discussed and argued in open format. Soulaima accepted the opportunity gladly and not only had her personal speech, but also she moderated two other speakers’s debates so naturally that Soulaima was the “Soul” of whole event we had at Innovation Centre Denmark office at Palo Alto in whose presence every talk just blossomed out! :)”
