Kim Day

"Dr. Ali Hill is a phenomenally inspiring speaker who exhibits genuine passion on the topics she covers. I heard her speak on emotional intelligence at a women's networking event in January and was truly encouraged by her engaging spirit and authentic nature. She owned the room and had a lot of great talking points on the subject, especially for a topic that is not broadly spoken about. She is able to connect with everyone in her audience and invites open conversation to ensure everyone is engaged, not just listening to a lecture. I was so encouraged by her talk that I followed up with her after the event, and she was so welcoming and open to help and offer great advice. Dr. Hill truly wants to help others find their passion and succeed, and she has the perfect attitude, knowledge base, and tools to do so."

Amara Martin

"Dr. Ali is a phenomenal speaker that certainly walks her talk. We had originally booked another presenter for our Professional Women's Group meeting; who had an emergency and could not attend. Dr. Ali jumped right in. Without skipping a beat she said, YES! Dr. Ali's presentation, Your Personal Brand: Curate How the World Sees You, is an amazing workshop that takes you step by step on designing your personal brand. Dr. Ali guides you into an inward journey to discover your values, talents and beliefs so that you may use them to design an authentic brand that will inevitably lead you to a more authentic life. Her presentation also included the importance of emotional intelligence and how we can apply it in the workplace. Besides being an intelligent, wise, skilled presenter and funny, she is also one very cool human being!"

"To listen to Dr. Ali Hill speak is to witness someone fully walking in her destiny. Her years of business expertise and academic rigor quickly establish her credibility, but it is her humility and piercing ability to connect with an audience at an individual soul level that sets her apart. I had the distinct pleasure of hearing Dr. Hill speak at a Dynamic Women in the Nonprofit Sector meeting, and her message on emotional intelligence and empathy has stuck with me for days. I am thankful for Dr. Hill illuminating my current professional path with practical solutions, including how I can use physical posture to announce my presence in the board room, effectively use "I" messages to achieve harmonious solutions, and how I too can be a champion of the women in my life."

Wendy Bohling

"I met Dr. Ali a few years ago through mutual colleagues. We immediately clicked when discussing our shared passion for women in business. We also both have the distinct honor of running faith-based women's networking groups. After one of our monthly check-in calls, I asked Ali to speak with my group about the concepts of kindness and strength, and how the two align for business and leadership success. I specifically asked Ali to do so because she is both one of the kindest and strongest people I know. Ali's presentation to our group was engaging, inspiring, informative, and extremely effective. She brought her signature energy, enthusiasm and empathy, and led us in a thought-provoking discussion during the Q&A. Ali is an excellent speaker and a talented educator. I highly recommend bringing her to any group of women who are looking for a passionate and intelligent leader from whom to learn."

"Dr. Ali Hill spoke to help my student entrepreneur group in our goal of gaining more female members so we could create a more diverse community. After sitting down with me for a long time to make sure she understood who her audience was, she effectively communicated with me and prepared in the lead-up to the event. On the day of her talk, she effortlessly pivoted the subject of her talk based on last-minute information, answered questions, and delivered a great event. Her unique style of tough honesty combined with humor, charisma, and boundless knowledge helped us have an event that received much positive feedback. Dr. Hill agreeing to help a group of students with nothing to offer her in return but gratitude shows her genuine commitment to using her exceptional speaking talents to make the world a better place."
