“One of the biggest highlights of the conference was Sal Naseem’s keynote. A brilliant and courageous voice, he challenged us to reflect on leadership—our morals, our values, and our North Star. What does it mean to lead with integrity, especially when organisations risk losing their moral compass? A message that will stay with me.”

“Your presentation was both inspiring and thought-provoking. The feedback I have received from colleagues has been uniformly positive. Participants expressed their appreciation for your openness and authenticity, as well as the insights you shared from both your personal and professional experiences. Many commented that your presentation prompted meaningful reflection on our own responsibilities and spheres of influence. Thank you again for sharing your story and for encouraging us to reflect on our own moral compass and the role we each play in fostering a more equitable and inclusive environment.“

“I had the pleasure of working with Sal on a recent EDI event at Incommunities. From start to finish, he was an absolute professional – flexible, attentive, and committed to delivering exactly what we needed. The feedback from colleagues was overwhelmingly positive, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sal as an authentic, humble, and engaging speaker. I’m already looking forward to future opportunities to work with him again.”

“Moral courage seems to be in short supply nowadays. This is why Sal’s work is so important. We recently asked Sal to open our conference with a keynote on moral courage. It was a tremendous way to start, setting the tone for the entire day. Having Sal speak to your audience – whoever they might be and in whatever context – will give them the encouragement to exercise that much-needed moral courage to do what is right. It will send a message that you value truth, honesty, mutual respect and fair play. That can only be a good thing. Thank you, Sal.”

“Sal delivered a keynote at our SOUND Showcase that was both powerful and deeply engaging. Drawing on his extensive experience, he spoke with real conviction about the importance of engaging men in conversations around empathy and preventing violence against women and girls. The response from our audience of policymakers, researchers and community leaders was overwhelmingly positive, many described his contribution as one of the most impactful moments of the evening. We’re incredibly grateful for the thoughtfulness, warmth and authority Sal brought to the event.”

“Sal is the most wonderful human being! He delivered an incredible keynote at ASCL Conference recently, a keynote which was so warmly received by all our 1000 delegates. His delivery was superb. Hitting that sweet-spot of information, inspiration and hard-hitting and thought-provoking content. We have already referenced his work in our leadership group meetings this week, linking in what we stand for as an organisation when debating a difficult decision. After his keynote, Sal spent time with our delegates. Nothing was too much trouble for him and his passion for helping people find their true north permeates through his everyday life. Sal is an inspiration.”

“Sal is a superb public speaker. His presentations are intelligent, thoughtful, and highly engaging. He is able to explain tricky concepts relating to race, ethnicity, religion, and discrimination with great clarity. Sal’s expertise and attributes inspire others. He comes highly recommended.”

“If you’re looking for a speaker who can move hearts, shift mindsets, and spark real action, Sal Naseem is someone we wholeheartedly recommend. Thank you, Sal, for inspiring us to lead with courage and compassion, and for reminding us that change starts with each of us, every day.”

“Sal was brilliant to work with in the run up to the event, but more so, his talk was excellent. He spoke with such passion and sincerity about his experiences and left colleagues in the room with a lasting impression. He was able to keep everyone hanging off his every word, whilst talking about topics which are highly emotive and powerful.”

“Sal’s inputs have been insightful, thought-provoking, and instrumental in shaping our discussions and strategies. He approaches the topic with a genuine passion and a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities that male allyship presents in the context of gender equality.”

“Having previously had the pleasure of observing keynote inputs provided by Sal, and now having had the privilege of working with him for our recent Culture in Public Service Conference, I can confidently assert that I not only recommend working with Sal on matters relating to leadership, inclusivity, and culture, but I’d highly encourage it if you get the chance.”

“Sal is an empathetic, intelligent, and charismatic public speaker. He carefully balances storytelling with his own lived experiences, insights, learning points, and structure, which captivates his audience. He first spoke for us at the Maximising Potential Conference, which received so much positive feedback, we just HAD to have him back at the Senior Leadership Conference too!”
