Great Speakers, I have worked with
 Mostafa SalamehNiki can take you up to the summits of any mountains with his amazing gift. He helped me to understand the language of my dreams and turn it to an inspirational story. His is truly an amazing Coach and an inspiration. His is simply the Alchemist of puplic speaking and the petrol station to any speaker. Thank you |  Anneke LucasNiki is a public speaker's gift. He challenged me to condense material worth a lifetime into 15 minutes, prompting me to go deeper than ever, and yielding new, creative ways to convey complex ideas. Even more important was his loving support, the energetic upliftment that carried me in the weeks, days and minutes leading up to this talk, and on the TEDx stage. Thank you, Niki! |  Dejan StojanovicThank you very much for your input and guidance, Niki.
In the beginning your idea seemed a bit unlogical, but the understanding of your hidden agenda enabled me to create a new empowering dimension in my speech, which I wouldn’t have had without you helpful guidance. I highly recommend you to all public speaker, seeking for professional guidance. |

Listening to his guidance is as comfortable as listening to your inner voice :) |  Brian BakerAs a speaker with decades of experience in a variety of venues, I found Niki's help very insightful.

I feel grateful to have worked with a speech coach that was as straightforward, supporting and concise as Niki was in this process. |

 Regina RowlandNiki provided me with direct, applicable, & timely feedback that I could use immediately to improve my session. In addition to his excellent coaching skills he was on time, responsive to questions & concerns, and easy to work with.

Often working with a coach can be intimidating or annoying, but Niki brings a calm, calculated approach that made me feel comfortable. He also knew exactly the right thing to say that would keep me motivated, while also knowing what not to say depending on where we were in the process. Niki is a Jedi. Couldn't recommend him enough! |

 Raj SethiaI am chaotic, impulsive, emotional … and have been speaking internationally for over a decade – bluntly speaking, a Nightmare for the Speaker Coach. But Niki has a rare talent for sensing your untapped potential and giving that one kickass tip in such a friendly, authentic manner. He focuses on what you could be, rather than what you couldn’t. A reassuring touch or a professional tip, he was always there with a cool head and a charming smile! |  Adam MontandonNiki brings a level of reassurance and calm confidence to the stressful and high pressured world of public speaking. |  Markus F.

 Simon BeckNiki was me "speaker's coach" for my first public presentation relating to me snow drawing, which was the TEDx at Klagenfurt in October 2014. It was great to meet him and get some advice on how to do it, and my talk (which gets altered a lot each time) has gone down well at 2 additional conferences. |  Sandra StrombergerI needed 45 minutes to explain what I want to say. He summarized my key messages in 10 seconds. |  Julijonas UrbonasI was wondering what exactly this guy is going to teach me until I found myself learning not about him but about the very myself. |

 Sean GoffThis was my first TEDx talk, and I think it worked out quite well. Big thanks to Niki and his quick but effective last minute coaching! |  Peter Strom HenningsenNiki is one of the best coaches I have ever met.
