Feedback

Pinky topped the bill at the Women Mean Business conference at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in May 2009

"I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your speech. It was brilliant. I'm so glad I stayed until the end. We would be honoured if you would be able to MC the Awards dinner in September at Ewood Park, home of Blackburn Rovers. Your humour and grace will be perfect for our event."
Christine Lambe, Chamber of Commerce, East Lancashire

Pinky was guest speaker at the National Council of Women of Great Britain conference, Darlington, April 2009

"I was very much inspired by your enthusiasm. What you had to say about learning to adapt and make a name for yourself in a culture different to your own really resonated with me as an American studying at Durham University."
Kristina Hagen, Josephine Butler College

Pinky was invited to speak at the Aberdeen Ladies' Lunch, March 2009.
Here are some comments from attendees:

"As for Pinky. Inspired choice! She took us all with her from the mmoment she opened her mouth and if you counted words per minute, I suspect her 17 minutes would have set a world record. Her sense of humour struck exactly the right balance, yet we all learned a lot about about her interesting life and what a powerhouse she is. An obviously generous, open-hearted lady, she strikes me as someone who never takes no for an answer! Our table all warmed to her and thoroughly enjoyed her talk."

"Pinky has the ability to create an instant rapport with her audience. Her ability to weave anecdotes with inspiring messages is very entertaining and captivates her audience."

Pinky was invited to distribute prize certificates at Channing School, January 2009.

"We were thrilled to have you with us. The place was buzzing with excitement about you and your inspirational words. At a time of year when it is so grey and dark, you really did bring a spark of life into all our lives. The girls were very excited about the whole evening and I am still glowing from the many warm comments from parents."
Barbara Elliott, Head Teacher

Pinky was the guest speaker at Speech Day at Wallington High School for Girls in November 2008.

"The content of your talk was greatly appreciated by students, parents, staff and governors. It was absolutely appropriate for the occasion and provided interest, inspiration and amusement for the audience."

HSBC Inspirational Speaker Dinner, with Pinky Lilani
May Fair Hotel, London 18th July 2007

Pinky Lilani OBE was recently invited to be the keynote speaker at an Inspirational Speaker dinner hosted by HSBC. This dinner is one in a series of events hosted by the commercial division of HSBC in order to provide an inspiring environment for relationship and business-building opportunities. The inspiration comes from a compelling, high-profile, inspirational “celebrity” – in this the client felt that Pinky was a perfect fit.

The dinner was themed around the South Asian banking market in London and guests ranged from accountants, lawyers and assorted professionals to leading businessmen and women drawn from all areas of business.

Comments from the guests at the dinner cited Pinky as “inspiring”, “striking a chord with us all” and she was rated as both excellent and outstanding by a vast majority of the guests and corporate hosts.

“[Pinky] is an excellent speaker and made me realise what can be achieved if you persist and put your mind to it”

Guests from a recent presentation to Ernst & Young provided the following quotes:
“Thank you so much for your talk today - it was inspirational and struck a chord.”

“Your talk today was fantastic - thank you so much. I hope that I am one of the first to email you so I can join you for dinner!”

“I just wanted to say thank you for your upbeat talk…at the London Academy on Friday. I really did not know what to expect but you really did make me focus on the positive and to utilize the simple tool of connecting with other people. That very evening I met a key contact who I will soon be working with on a major new account so it just proves how easy it is.”

“I would just like to say thanks again for such a great presentation... It was really inspiring to hear that you have got to where you are for being such a wonderful person, which is truly refreshing in this day and age... Thank you!”

British Council provided the following quote:
“Pinky is an absolute star presenter. She is relaxed, amusing and very knowledgeable.”

"Pinky Lilani was a wonderful and inspiring speaker... Pinky: I enjoyed her talk immensely, can she come back and cook for us?...I learnt quite a bit from Pinky's speech. I thought she came across extremely well and would love to hear her speak again... It was great that Pinky stayed and networked after the event, unlike other keynote speakers at events I have attended."

This will not only be of benefit to their own companies, but also it will undoubtedly have a positive effect on the East of England’s economy."
