[Narges], I've been reflecting on my TEDx journey and wanted to take a moment to thank you. You pushed me in all the right ways. You brought your experience, insight, and high standards to every session, and you never let me settle for what was easy or comfortable. You asked the hard questions that made me think more deeply, speak more honestly, and show up more fully. What meant just as much was how supportive you were along the way. You challenged me and believed in me at the same time. You cheered for me, encouraged me when it felt tough, and helped me trust myself through the process. Because of you, I showed up as a stronger, clearer, and more confident speaker. I am truly grateful for your coaching, your honesty, and your support!! Thank you for helping me be my best.

Narges was INSTRUMENTAL to our developing 9 speakers for the TEDxSFU 2026: Unmask the Magic conference. Narges offered constructive, personal, critical and professional feedback in all steps of the process, from initial idea development to final polishing of a keynote speech. Ideas worth spreading become clearer, and each speaker shone through with their own unique light and lens, over our 6-month coaching process. One speaker was even selected as an Editor's Pick by the platform to be featured on TED.com! Narges has an extensive knowledge of the TED/TEDx brand, and brought her expertise from her own business, which contributed to the speakers' success. Her own success is evidenced foremost by the success of the individual speakers, the videos and now posted online at TED.com and other TEDx channels

Narges, I know it's been many years, but I wanted to thank you for coaching me through my first TEDx talk and to let you know how much that meant to me. You were the first person to help me on my public speaking journey and as I reflect, I know I wouldn't be where I am today with your support. Tank you for giving me the skills to tell my story and for helping me achieve that lifelong goal.

I worked with Narges for the TEDXSFU and she was incredible. She is blunt, honest and will tell you what you need to hear to succeed. Would definitely recommend for anyone needing support I perfecting public speaking!

I can't imagine preparing for my upcoming TEDx Talk without Narges' coaching and guidance. She's an awesome coach who provides honest, constructive feedback to make your delivery more powerful and engaging. During one of my 1:1 sessions with her, she was even sick with a sore throat and almost losing her voice, but she didn't cancel the session. That's the kind of coach you want – someone who genuinely cares for you and is always there, no matter what. Whether you have a public speaking engagement like TED coming up or need help preparing for a presentation, you definitely need Narges on your team.

Narges, I just wanted to express a special sincere gratitude for you and your guidance throughout this process. You may have considered yourself harsh but never once did I ever feel that way with any of your constructive critisms. You have a way of delivering instructions straight to the point but not personally. Absolutely loved having you light the way as well as building us up into the best versions of ourselves through the whole process. I can't thank you enough.

Narges was my coach for TEDxSFU 2023. I started off with an idea, but as a poet I struggled to create a peice that was leaning between a talk and a performance. Through my struggles, Narges encouraged and brought out the ideas from me. She was a cornerstone of my talk and how it came to be. She believed in me but at the same time did not hold back when giving constructive criticism. I really appreciated her coaching style, which focuses on making the speaker better in a multidimensional way. If you want to be a better speaker, performer, and have compelling stage presence, I highly recommend Narges as a coach!
