Mehrnaz’s Speaking

Mehrnaz empowers audiences by sharing proven strategies to accomplish goals, reach for new and greater challenges, and achieve more fulfillment in personal and professional life. She demonstrates how, in her own experience, obstacles have repeatedly fallen away in the face of her determined approach of using small wins as stepping stones to personal and professional success. The outcome is that she meets and exceeds her expectations, widens her aspirations, and develops a life that increasingly has centredness and authenticity at its core. Mehrnaz champions the role that a growth mindset, a culture of learning, and greater self-awareness can play in our search for achievement, peace, meaning and happiness. Using evidence-based research, compelling stories, poetry, and a remarkably generous level of honesty, Mehrnaz ensures that listeners leave inspired and motivated to apply what they learn in their own lives.

what people say

“In February 2018, our service club engaged Mehrnaz Bassiri to address sixty Grade 7 girls about how to prepare for the academic challenges of high school. We foolishly assumed that the girls would find it difficult to concentrate for any length of time on such a dry topic. We could not have been more wrong! From the minute she began, Mehrnaz captivated the girls’ attention with her simple yet sage advice. The girls were feverishly taking notes, despite re-assurances that they would receive an electronic copy of her presentation. Mehrnaz’s presentation is a must-see for students who are about to embark on further academic challenges.”

Mehrnaz brings a passion and professionalism that stands out. I had the privilege to work with Mehrnaz in preparation for a TEDx talk; it was evident early in our work that she is prepared and interested in ensuring audiences will have the best chance to grasp the 'idea'. Unlike other professional speakers who are convinced their talk is 'complete', Mehrnaz asked questions to receive honest, constructive feedback to ensure it aligned with the intent of the TEDx event. When you combine her practical way of presenting with a priority to ensure audiences are the priority, don't miss out on an opportunity to have Mehrnaz speak for you.

TEDxChilliwack Speaker Coach,

“Mehrnaz is a warm and engaging speaker who is able to make complex theoretical subjects accessible and interesting for any learner. After observing her deliver a workshop on growth mindset and study skills, I was impressed by the way she distilled such complex information about neurobiology to a group of youth, who showed clear enjoyment of her talk and who asked many questions! She has such a broad range of knowledge that she was able to connect the topic of the day to the interests of the listener – she is a highly engaging and enjoyable speaker.”

Mehrnaz Bassiri spoke at TEDxChilliwck 2018. The amount of effort she put into her talk was clear. She had rehearsed with our speaker coaches, and took suggestions to heart. On the day of our event, she was calm and professional, and her talk was clear and to the point. Numerous audience members shared with our Organizing Committee members how much they learned from her talk, and appreciated her ability to deliver it in a way they could understand
