Personal Details

Bio

Hi, I’m Riaz Meghji, author of Every Conversation Counts and 17 year broadcast host. After years of interviewing leaders, athletes, philanthropists and celebrities, the one clear commonality has been that we all crave human connection. But how do we build those authentic (virtual) relationships? What are the most powerful questions we can ask? How can we tell stories in a way that captures attention and inspires others to take action?

In a challenging era of loneliness and isolation, I help leaders elevate their (virtual) communication, spark real conversations and collaborate effectively, so that they can build extraordinary relationships that earn new business. These ideas will help your sales soar, enhance customer service and achieve the kind of high-trust culture needed for companies to win.

HOW TO BUILD EXTRAORDINARY RELATIONSHIPS

Long before the year of ‘social distancing,’loneliness was pandemic in our society. In an age of polarization, disconnection, and shallow substitutes for real relationships, every professional needs to know how to build and maintain genuine relationships with clients and colleagues alike.

Audiences will leave this keynote with ‘Five Habits of Human Connection’ that offer practical tools to combat isolation and build deeper relationships.

HOW TO ELEVATE YOUR (VIRTUAL) SPEAKING IMPACT AND INFLUENCE

Every professional today needs to know how to deliver a virtual presentation with confidence, clarity, and authentic impact. Presenting virtually requires even greater attention to tone, delivery, and audience engagement than the in-person equivalent.

This keynote draws on the ‘Five Habits of Human Connection’ to give professionals the tools to captivate, engage and motivate their audiences to act now on their message.

BUSINESS AND RELATIONSHIP BUILDING IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD

2020 proved definitively that, while we can create a virtual equivalent to almost any in-person activity, that shift always involves some kind of loss. In a virtual environment, connections are harder to establish and easier to damage.

This keynote will explore the ‘Five Habits of Human Connection’, offering audiences practical tools to build better relationships, create new business with clients and customers, and engage teams in a virtual world.
