More than a decade ago, I began my career in developing leaders.

Previously, I had worked as a professor for nine years and had spoken publicly many times during my position at Microsoft. So while I had some previous experience speaking in front of an audience, it wasn't something that came naturally. But as my career progressed, I knew that this would become a bigger and bigger part of what I do.

Eventually, I took a risk and bet on myself, and I've now given keynote speeches globally to countless companies and audiences on almost all of the topics I love to talk about!

Before I realized it, I was getting a lot of speaking opportunities through word of mouth. I felt honored that people were influenced by my keynotes and workshops, and I was getting responses from participants who had taken action and changed the course of their careers. So while I had set out initially to be a one-on-one coach, I found a true passion in keynote speaking.

That brings me to today. For the first time ever, I have a speaker reel! I haven't shared this with anyone yet, and I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think. So without any further ado, here it is:

And of course, if you know of someone who needs a keynote speaker (I do a great International Women's Day keynote *wink wink*), I’d love for you to pass it along.

With gratitude + delight,
Salima Valji
