Tina is an electrifying speaker. Her passion is infectious and highly relevant. In just one hour, attendees of various ages and stages of life gained a fresh perspective on the value of work life balance and how simple changes can have long term positive effects mentally, physically and emotionally. Her presentation is impactful, engaging and includes a refreshing dose of humour. She will deliver valuable information in an inspiring and entertaining manner.

With the aim to continue fostering a happy and healthy workforce, Syncrude’s Women’s Interest Network (WIN) recently sought out Tina Varughese to give employees her presentation on unconscious bias and diversity in the workplace. Over the course of three days, Tina delivered four equally, funny and informative sessions, each met with resounding success.

It was a delight to see how engaged employees were and their genuine desire to better understand and embrace inclusivity. Tina even received unsolicited emails from staff thanking her for teaching something they hadn’t previously thought about or recognized, which clearly demonstrates the value-add she brought to the Syncrude organization.”

Tina Varughese is one of the more dynamic and entertaining speakers on the circuit today.  She gave a presentation on communication with cross cultural advantage at our Feet First symposium.  Our audience was a conglomeration of many different careers impacting swine production from 11 different countries.  Tiny had the attention of the whole group and everyone laughed and left with more knowledge on how to interact with people of many different cultures.  This was a presentation packed with practical examples.  She is very skilled at involving large audiences in the presentation.  She delivers her message with confidence, humor, stories, and excellent visual impact with slides and videos to enhance her message.  Her presentation concluded our symposium and left the audience on a very high note and extremely satisfied with our event.

Tina was a pleasure to work with! Her presentation was insightful and fun—she had a room of senior management giggling up a storm.

Her inclusive leadership strategies are accessible and easily to implement, which resonated with our organization.

Her seminar reminded me that leadership and positivity are traits that can be fostered in individuals such as employees and team members, not just management! The impact of this for an organization is significant.

Tina’s cheerful attitude and refreshing approach shaped the mood for the conference and we couldn’t be happier.

Tina is an incredibly engaging, fun and thought provoking speaker. Tina is very polished, yet not afraid to laugh at herself as she keeps her audience engaged and amused as her important message about working within a dynamic multi-cultural environment sinks-in to all of those in attendance  She is a pleasure to work with I would definitely recommend her for any professional function that wants to give their audience simple strategies to tackle the challenges of multi-cultural dynamics.

“Tina is an engaging, knowledgeable and humorous speaker! Our students who are in the biomedical field learnt a lot from her cross-cultural communication keynote. This is a very relevant topic for our students since they will be coming across different cultures during their careers. I recommend her as a keynote speaker for any healthcare related conference!”

You have a beautiful soul and posess the energy of a million watt light bulb. Keep up the good work!”

What a powerful communicator you are. Truly gifted. I felt truly inspired by your meaningful storytelling. It is through the sharing of voices like yours that radical social change will take hold in the minds of so many people who hold unconscious and conscious bias about humans. I hope we can stay in touch and perhaps one day have another opportunity to build change together.
