Feedback
Nadia was friendly, people felt comfortable talking to her and asking her questions. We would use Nadia again. She definitely helped our event draw more of a crowd. Very happy we chose to use Nadia.
Nadia was a fantastic presenter. She was professional yet engaging. She shared real stories and made a personal bond with the audience as well as giving us some really useful ideas to think about. The book signing at the end made the end of the first day of the conference end with a real high!
Nadia Lim was the perfect opening speaker for our conference. Delegates found her story and presentation inspirational. We were all surprised that she had a direct link to our sector having been a swimmer in her younger years. It was great to hear Nadia’s story of how she has got to where she is today with My Food Bag being so successful. I know that the delegates took away Nadia’s tips and tricks on how to be successful.
Nadia was an absolute gem! She was very engaging, informative and supper funny!
If we could summarise her talk in one word.... Awesome!
The evening was a huge success and everyone has raved about Nadia. She is so down to earth and exudes such a positive energy. She kept everyone in the room engaged and was so knowledgeable. The practical food and wellbeing tips she provided were incredibly well received and we have had such positive feedback from the attendees as a result.
Nadia is one of the most down to earth speakers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Super easy and chill, more than willing to adapt to the audience, event style and requests asked of her. Her interview style presentation with one of our MCs was fantastic, raw and real.
