"I have had the great pleasure of hearing Basim speak for a variety of different events from national conference panels alongside C-Level Execs to lecturing a Marketing class at Schulich. With this said, I am confident in saying that he is one of the most versatile and informative speakers out there. Basim energizes the audience and understands exactly how to grasp a crowd's attention and intrigue from the moment he starts to speak.

Aside from being able to captivate an audience, he has the ability to cover an extremely wide spectrum of topics in the realm of Personal Branding while being able to call upon his own experiences and expertise to speak about them specifically as well."
