Testimonials
Merry Blakey, Director of Partnerships, Human Kinetics
"Amari's presentation was engaging and informative. He is a great educator and speaker and our staff really enjoyed getting to learn from him. We really appreciated the time he took for a Q+A portion as well. Behind the scenes, Amari was a joy to work with and he made my job of organizing the event super easy! Scheduling an initial meeting was simple and convenient, he anticipated many questions I had for him and had quick answers for my own, he was incredibly organized when it came to providing resources such as a speaker agreement, marketing materials, invoices, etc.. and responses were always prompt. I highly recommend Amari for speaking engagements and will look forward to being able to work with him again."
