Re: The University of Derby Leadership Conference 2010

"I would very much like to thank you for attending our recent Leadership Conference at Markeaton Street as our Guest Speaker."

"We received very positive feedback on your speech and thought we would share a couple of the quotes that came back after evaluation;"

- “Kavita’s speech encompassed a lot of the core values of the University and certainly encourages positive thinking"

- “Kavita Oberoi was amazing and inspirational, the importance of considering a students life outside of the University was highlighted and this is something that Derby being friendly and supportive prides itself in, I think it helps to be reminded of the impact our decisions have on a students life is useful"

- “Kavita was a different style of speaker for us but there were some key messages to take away - about seizing opportunities and that this may not be an easy option; consideration of others personal circumstances, beliefs and cultures, what we see may not see the whole story”

- "Your story had some strong resonance with the work being progressed at the University, from which we could all draw; recognising that our students are from diverse backgrounds and that we should always remember the whole person ensuring that barriers and boundaries that may hinder success do not exist. We also take on board your messages about your own leadership philosophy and the importance of having a strong vision and drive, which has helped you to be successful."

"Many thanks again for supporting us with this key event."

"It is my privilege to be mentored by Kavita. In a relatively short time I have benefited from her insight, experience and encouragement, resulting in my strengthening and deepening my business vision, re-evaluating my business priorities and greatly improving my discipline and focus."

" Her inspiration and approach have allowed my own confidence to develop and grow, enabling me to face challenges with a fresh approach, find new solutions to problems, and resulting in a greater willingness on my part to try new ways of doing things."

" Her mentoring has set me on a new path, from which I know the benefits and rewards will come, and for all this I am immensely grateful."

"Kavita Oberoi is one of the most inspirational female entrepreneurs that it has been my privilege and pleasure to listen to."

"Kavita’s story of challenges overcome to achieve her ambitions and live the life that she wants, to follow her professional entrepreneurial career, despite family tradition and cultural opposition, effectively demonstrate how vision, passion, belief, persistence and determination will overcome all obstacles when consistently pursued."

"Kavita’s appeal has humility while her infectious humour and energy are invigorating. Her presentation is a dream for Coaches and any group that wants to inspire and motivate people. She captures hearts and minds to set the room alight. All ages and backgrounds will benefit – so catch her when you can!!"
