Testimonials for Uma Rudd Chia

In a time when most people are either panicking or freezing, Uma is a one of those rare breeds who is doing creative, positive and valuable things. She is one of the most creative people I have met in my life (and I have studied creativity across 70 countries and over 20+ years, so I have met a lot of creative people.) She inspires you to have faith in the future, take action to make the best out of the situation and push you to start creating more things instead of sitting around and waiting for this crisis to end - well that is if you are anything like me. How lucky is the person who listens to Uma - you’ll get some positive and useful messages in a time where we are bombarded by the opposite.
The Creativity Explorer

Whatever topic Uma speaks on, it’s about hope, not disillusionment; about action, not ambiguity; and about pragmatism neatly bundled in a flourish of imagination and possibility. That’s because Uma has always believed in the formidability of uncompromised selfbelief. Her mum would probably tell you that, as a child, it made her just a little bit feisty. But that’s the creative spirit liberated and we wouldn’t want it any other way. Uma has a way of reminding us of what it means to think as a human when the future of humanity might just well be at stake.

Uma has an amazing ability to connect with audience and I felt lucky to have her on stage for General Assembly’s events. Her presentations about topics such as creative design trends or women empowerment were powerful and to the point. I'd highly recommend Uma as a speaker and presenter.

Uma is entirely passionate and utterly "crazy." When she is on stage, she has this infectious personality that lights up any room. Whenever she conducts workshops, she explodes with a host of creative ideas that fill up the wall with Post-Its. She is a perfectionist and always exceeds expectations whenever she has to deliver a talk. Her continuing love of learning is evident - she grows as a presenter. Uma's passion is the real reason for her creativity. She always leaves a lasting impression.

Uma never fails to inspire me with her drive and motivation, bounded by strong values to bring the best ideas to life. She takes charge with passion and continuously strives and delivers her best in every talk and action. She's ruthless with her vision yet absolutely compassionate to care for the people she communicates with by listening to understand everyone's challenges and bringing smiles towards success as a true leader.
