Tanni was brilliant! Her speech was inspiring, motivating, funny and powerful, and feedback from the delegates has been fantastic! It was thought provoking and has given many of the delegates much to think about in relation to their own personal development.

Tanni was inspiring to listen to. She shared my insights throughout her life that many in business can relate to in their business and personal lives. She connected with the audience and was very well received, and spent time speaking with various members of the audience, which went down very well with all involved. We also appreciated the imagery on her slides that she spoke to, rather than pure text.
