What our clients say about our talks and workshops
"Great speaker and a very good cause. Do book Cecilia Safaee as a speaker and promote her work. I got some real insights which will help me become a better leader."

"The workshop we had with FDF for Business at Smarteyes was very appreciated and gave us a lot of insights! We take with us that the values Smarteyes stand for can't lead to a good culture if only management stands for them. All co-workers need to feel that they can lead based on our values, and everyone must feel that they make a difference in increasing engagement and individual development."
Sandra Paulsson
Digital Manager, Smarteyes
