Testimonials for Akram Azimi

A gifted public speaker, well prepared for the topic of the event and audience, while telling his own story. Audience came away being inspired, more informed and also challenged.  
Margaret River Uniting Church

Akram Azimi really connected with our students – especially our boys.  His personal story and gentle manner and approach really spoke to them, and whilst it may take time and maturity for some of them to understand the full meaning of Akram’s message, he has certainly left them with many things to think about, and influenced their way of thinking.  One boy stated in his head boy application that he was inspired to apply for the position because of Akram’s courage and fortitude to step out of his comfort zone in a new country, and to alter the choices he was making.
Sacred Heart College

Akram Azimi was great to deal with and genuinely cared about serving our audience well.
