TESTIMONIALS
“Chidi Iwuchukwu is an inspiring and engaging speaker whom we had the privilege of hearing at our school assembly for Black History Month. His personal story reminded us that our time in life is precious and that we should use time to make a positive impact in the world while working towards our goals and dreams. Chidi shared several important lessons with our students that not only apply to their success at school, but that applies to the bigger picture in life. Chidi lives the values of persistence, resilience, and optimism through all that he does. Students were left with a belief in themselves that they can overcome the many challenges that come with pursuing their dreams. If you are looking for a speaker at your school, I would encourage you to consider Chidi!”

“Absolutely! As a speaker at our Virtual National Canadian Immigrant Fair Chidi took our viewers through a presentation on Canadian Work Experience for Canadian Jobs, an insightful session sharing his insights and previous experience. Our viewers were engaged and enjoyed the presentation immensely, answering their questions with ease. It was a pleasure working with Chidi and looking forward to continuing to work with him for other speaking engagements. Thanks”

“Chidi came and spoke to the youth in one of our after-school programs. His message was age-appropriate, relevant, encouraging, and very inspiring. With an engaging mix of personal stories, inspirational thoughts, thought-provoking questions, and time for self-reflection, Chidi connected with each of the youth in such a way that they all left with something valuable to think about. I would recommend Chidi to anyone who is looking for a great presentation that inspires people to find their purpose, overcome obstacles, and achieve their goals.”

“Very informative session. Thanks you. I liked how there was focus on the "small" aspects of the Canadian culture that most people don't think about.”
“An engaging and interesting session that is very important to navigate our different activities. Learning from an experienced teacher and mentor that helps to make life easier and more successful to immigrants.”
“Chidi applies real life instances in his presentations. These are very relatable and apply everyday people. I will say, book Chidi to engage with your audience and watch happen im your organization.”
“The presenter resonated with me because of our shared experiences. Migrated to Canada with family and have to adapt to different cultures, navigating stereotypes, conscious & unconscious biases, etc. He inspired the participants to believe in themselves, and also to listen and learn from their teachers and parents.”
