“When the participants left, they were hooked!
We are looking at a serious addiction after a meeting with Soulaima Gourani! You get addicted to being provoked, being moved mentally, and seeing things from a different perspective. My sky-high expectations were met, and I am looking forward to the next fix! Devil-may-care attitude, cheeky, and infuriatingly annoying!
I will put ten bucks in Storm’s swear box in advance!”

“In connection to the kickoff of our website lønsomfortjent.dk, we invited Soulaima Gourani to host a workshop on the topic “Do you know your market value? And what can you do to increase it?” Our evaluation showed that all of the participants gave Soulaima full marks. We definitely plan to invite Soulaima Gourani to host more events for us in the future because her provocative and thought-provoking style based on exciting studies and observations helps to shake your preconceived opinions and makes you want to make changes in your professional life. Our collaboration with Soulaima Gourani has worked really well! She is a professional through and through and will continuously offer ideas and suggestions on how an event can have the greatest possible value for your audience in particular.”

“Thank you very much for an exciting and captivating lecture at Network 010 in Odense. I owe you—in only one day—a great deal of respect. The stuff you have achieved and the way you have done it. I am a big fan of your 3-6-9-10 rule. I have never (I am 35 years old) read an entire book to the end, but I will do that now. I will run to the shop and get a copy of your book. I look forward to reading a whole book for the first time in my life.”
Morten Due Albrektsen

“I was lucky enough to hear you speak today at Network 010. Your speech was right after lunch, when people are tired and prefer to sink into their chairs and not be provoked, and you succeeded in doing so anyway! It inspired me when you said that people should set some goals and that you should write them down and communicate them to other people. Again, thank you for the lecture and the inspiration!”
