Captivating story that showed real emotion, passion and inspiration. Kept the audience captivated in what I would consider the most difficult time slot a speaker can be given.

Thank you for sharing your story with us, it was a great way to end our day. We had so many comments about how powerful and inspiring you were and you were called out by many as being the highlight of the conference.
BT Financial Group
Rabia Siddique’s story was inspirational. In the business context we often talk about the importance of composure, keeping the goal in mind and making a difference. To see this brought to life in a real world context where lives are at stake is both humbling and inspirational. It helps put things back into context. But the most inspiring part of her story for me was the way that she demonstrated the importance of personal integrity, of standing up for what you believe is right even if that seems really hard. Rabia’s example of staying true to what she believed in, not compromising her own values, and using that core strength to face whatever the world throws at her has inspired me to try and be a better person.

In my role as Director of Women’s Markets at Westpac I get to meet the most amazing women both here in Australia and internationally. I have been doing this now for over 30 years and never have I had the opportunity to sit and listen to a woman tell her personal story of her amazing life in such a way that held the audience spellbound. Rabia Siddique is a true professional who understands the importance of getting her story across in a manner that connects to her audience and delivers a message throughout that women and girls can relate to. If you are looking for a speaker to deliver a message about resilience, passion and self belief and finding your voice then Rabia is one of the best. We need to promote more women like Rabia to speak at Women’s Conferences throughout Australia to show women in this country what can be achieved when you believe in yourself. We will certainly be engaging Rabia for further speaking engagements for Westpac both internally for our staff and externally for our Ruby events.

A big thank you for your wonderful heart felt and thought provoking presentation at our ACSWA State Conference. Milling through the crowd on during the breakout sessions, there was much discussion on your presentation which was conspicuously and enormously well received. Some of the comments heard were that your talk was dynamic, engaging, beautifully presented, candid, moving and motivating, offering an inspirational message that our audience could clearly relate to, and take away with them.

At our annual business events industry presentation recently we had the pleasure of listening to Rabia Siddique. One of the themes of our event is to highlight the need for people to get together face to face and the benefits of personal connections and networking. Rabia demonstrated this perfectly as her presentation was raw with emotion and her connection through her messages were so impactful. Our guests were riveted to their seats. Thanks Rabia for helping our day to deliver exactly what we wanted.
