Anj Handa

"Anj was an absolute superstar, with a VERY short turnaround time Anj delivered a fantastic and tailored keynote at our International Women’s Day event. I’d highly recommend Anj and her approach to the glass ceiling. It was thought-provoking and really did fit the #choosetochallenge theme this year. Thanks for all your hard work and collaboration."

"Anj joined our Global Directors meeting to share her story around self care and how it is an essential - not just a ‘nice to have.’ Anj inspired our colleagues from around the world and her tone and pitch were spot on. There were so many useful takeaways for all of us. Thanks so much Anj -you are a true inspiration and we are really excited to connect with you in the future!"

"We had an hour of Anj’s time and the level of insight during that period was amazing. She posed great questions to make us think and that we need to answer before we can move forward. She also demonstrated that you can make fabulous things happen through your networks and collaboration with organisations that share your passion. I would happily work with Anj again and recommend her to others."

"Anj offers valuable thoughts and input based on her own experience. For example, Anj has good knowledge of how to create spaces inclusive for people with disabilities, seen and unseen, which can be helpful in considering access issues. Anj did her own prior research on the themes and issues of the event to familiarise herself further with the contributors and their work. Anj showed passion for the themes from her own personal experience and used that in her chairing to create a starting point for broader audience dialogue."

"Anj was amazing when she spoke for one our Youth for Europe series, a large scale KA3 European youth project funded by the Erasmus plus programme and the European Commission. The project has brought together over 200 young people together from 6 different countries with European policy makers and inspiring people to create European policies to present to the EU on 3 main topics; education, media and the environment… Anj was very open to the project and really wanted to connect with and inspire the young participants. We kept in communication before the talk and she was professional, organised and nothing was too much for her. When it came to the talk Anj was great, she prepared an interesting topic that fit with the aims of the project that generated lots of discussion… From an organisational viewpoint it was great to have a speaker who really knew how to engage with the young people and from all the feedback everyone really enjoyed it and took lots of new ideas and inspiring thoughts away with them. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Anj again in the future and we would recommend her work to everyone."

"We were delighted to have Anj speak and her presentation went down a storm! She was articulate, funny, emotive and thought-provoking - not easy to do in the time we gave her! I would highly recommend Anj to speak at your event. I have nothing but praise for her approach and her style."

"Anj was our closing speaker at the 2019 Institute of Fundraising Yorkshire Conference. She was wam, funny, and likeable and brought a wealth of experience to share with our fundraising delegates. We were delighted to include her in our speaker line up and hugely grateful for her contribution"

"We invited Anj to speak with a group of young people who participated in Youth Exchanges to produce their own policy proposal. Throughout Anj was easily reachable, responsive and very adaptable to the fast-paced programme planning. Anj used her own personal experiences of Erasmus and studying in Germany and described how her experience motivated her to become environmentally conscious. Anj went above and beyond to make the speech accessible to anyone, accounting for making big changes even if you have very little resources. The young people were inspired by the tips & tricks Anj had to offer and the livestream of Anj's speech has reached over 750 people! I am continually amazed by Anj's ability to bring her insight and colourful imagination into informative and educational speeches."
