Bio
Neil Courtis
We were delighted to have Fotini talk to a virtual group of more than 700 on the topic of salary negotiation for women. Very few speakers combine unique and original content, deep practitioner experience and charismatic communication. Fotini has all three. And this was reflected in one of the highest speaker scores we have seen in more than 50 events.

Fotini recently gave a presentation at the IBA Women in Insurance Conference in Toronto on the topic of Unconscious Bias in the Insurance Profession. As Conference Producer, I will incredibly impressed with her confident demeanor, the way she captured the audience's attention and her words that spoke powerfully to the entire audience. In the conference feedback, Fotini was repeatedly mentioned as one of the strongest, most influential speakers.
