After a very long and tiring week, Anis’ talk at the Santander Breakthrough Event for “Women in Business” was very timely and relevant for me. It wasn’t one of those fluffly motivational talks. Anis made resilence relatable with practical examples and stories. Defintely a lesson I’ll keep with me as I move forward with my business.

Book Anis Qizilbash for your event

Anis Qizilbash is a trusted keynote speaker for organisations looking to strengthen performance under pressure and improve execution in fast-changing environments. With over 25 years of front-line experience across sales, entrepreneurship, and leadership, she has worked with Fortune 100 companies, high-growth scale-ups, and government clients across five continents.

She understands what it takes to open new markets, drive revenue growth, and deliver results when expectations are high and conditions are constantly shifting. Her keynotes are grounded in real-world experience and designed for immediate application, giving audiences practical tools they can use straight away.

Performance under pressure in today’s reality

Today’s leaders and teams face a different kind of challenge. AI is transforming how work gets done, but it does not automatically improve how people perform. Pressure, distraction, and complexity are increasing, and many teams already know what to do, yet struggle to execute consistently.

This is where Anis makes a difference. She focuses on the moments that drive results, helping individuals and teams stay focused, make better decisions, and perform when it matters most. Her approach is built for real working environments where stakes are high and attention is limited.

From introvert to high-performance expert

Anis’ work is shaped by her own journey. Starting out as a shy introvert, she had to rewire how she showed up in high-pressure situations. That experience now forms the foundation of her work, giving her a unique ability to connect with audiences and offer practical, relatable tools that drive behaviour change.

With two master’s degrees and a background in acting and comedy improv, she brings both credibility and presence to the stage. Her delivery combines insight, humour, and relatability, creating an engaging experience that resonates deeply with corporate audiences.

Practical tools that drive results

Anis does not focus on theory or scripts. Her keynotes are built around practical, research-backed tools drawn from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and real-world experience. Audiences leave with clear strategies to improve how they perform under pressure and sustain results over time.

Her sessions help organisations to:

Improve consistency of performance across teams
Strengthen confidence and decision-making in high-pressure moments
Build trust and connection in increasingly digital environments
Reduce performance drop-off caused by stress, distraction, and change

She equips leaders, sales teams, and professionals with the mindset and tools needed to stay focused, adapt quickly, and execute effectively.

Topics Anis Qizilbash speaks on

Anis covers a range of high-impact topics tailored to modern organisations, including performance and revenue growth, high-performance teams, and selling in complex environments. She also speaks on confidence, focus, and decision-making under pressure, as well as resilience, adaptability, and navigating change.

Her expertise extends to emotional intelligence, trust, and communication, along with client engagement, creativity, and influence. She also addresses AI and the future of work, with a strong focus on maintaining the human edge, and explores motivation, accountability, and consistent execution across teams.

Why organisations choose Anis Qizilbash

Event organisers often look for speakers who inspire, but many audiences are left without clear actions to take. Anis is chosen because she bridges that gap. She delivers engaging keynotes with substance, giving teams tools they can apply immediately without relying on abstract concepts or extreme personal stories.

Her approach is practical, grounded, and relevant to everyday professionals. She brings energy and clarity to the stage, combined with humour and insight, helping teams build confidence, improve collaboration, and take ownership of their performance.

Anis is also the author of Mindful Selling, where she shares mindset strategies and practical tools to help sales teams perform with confidence, resilience, and authenticity under pressure.

For organisations navigating constant change and rising expectations, Anis Qizilbash delivers a clear outcome: stronger performance, better focus, and consistent results when it matters most.

Customer Reviews

Co-Founder Londbrella

I recently attended a Mindful Selling talk with Anis which was a complete revelation. Her talk explained beautifully the concept of adding value. Our business and our sales team have already seen an increase in new clients – so thank you very much indeed Anis.

Director Loop Software

Anis is a dynamic, engaging and extremely motivating speaker and I was captivated throughout. I have already started to “punctuate” my day with mindfulness!

Artificial Intelligence Consultant

Whilst I have read much about mindfulness, I have never attended a talk where it was a point of focus. In short time, Anis did a spectacular job in helping us understand the benefits of Mindfulness, with her compelling & pragmatic approach to how we can easily embrace it within our daily routines. Mindfulness now has a new convert! Anis holds her audience with her humility & a wonderful energetic rhythm that runs through her delivery. If you are seeking a speaker who can help you & your people, improve themselves, improve their sales performance in an easy & digestible way that helps secure rapid results, then Anis is the go to person.

CEO Canterbris Krup

A fantastic speaker – thorough, dedicated and insightful. We spoke in advance to talk through my ‘vision’ and Anis immediately came up with the ideas on what to talk about and how to deliver it. She delivered the presentation faultlessly, was extremely authentic and our audience of business owners from a variety of sectors and business size found her [and I quote] “inspiring and uplifting.

Breakthrough Business Manager Santander UK

Since [attending your webinar] I have practiced meditation every day and it’s proven not only to keep me focussed and upbeat while being kinder to myself but I am all the more enjoying the simple pleasures of life and it is these small things which are in fact the big things. With all of this happening, I have naturally begun to eat more healthily, take regular exercise and drink less alcohol. I have even started to read a book which I hadn’t done in so long as my mind was too full and unable to focus. Absolutely [recommend] the session, it’s had a significantly positive impact on my well-being.

Director of Hestias

Anis was a keynote speaker at our London CXFO Conference. She was brilliant, engaged the audience from the first minute to the last, getting them involved and displaying a knowledge of her subject few can match. Her speech has been a highly commended in the audience receiving fantastic feedback from everyone there. As a public speaker myself I was surprised and delighted by her energy clarity and the way she commanded the attention of everyone in the room. She certainly taught me several lessons. She is a consummate professional and I wholeheartedly recommend her both as a speaker and as an expert in applying mindfulness in practical ways that change outcomes for organisations. She has completely changed my view on the subject and if you have the chance to hear her……I am sure she will change yours.

Chairman CXFO

Had the opportunity to experience Anis in action at the CXFO London event and was blown away by her energy, her insights and practical advice for wellbeing and mindfulness. A fantastic session which I thoroughly enjoyed and would certainly recommend her!

previously Customer Experience Director Barclays

On behalf of London Economic Action Partnership and the Mayor of London, we cannot thank Anis enough for joining us as a speaker at London’s Diverse Entrepreneurs at City Hall! Anis was a knockout keynote speaker. She found the perfect balance between inspiring, spurring the audience to take action and offering practical steps to get it done. She really took the time to understand our audience of diverse business owners, their challenges and the impact we wanted to make. Anis you crafted a talk that well and truly delivered – Fabulous! We received so much incredible feedback – they said they found inspiration and received practical advice to help them break through barriers and achieve the potential. It was also great to see the buzz on social media (the mayor did some posts as well).

Event Manager Newable

Anis’ session was incredibly well received and several of the team commented on how refreshing her approach and message was. Everyone found the interactive style engaging and the focus on mindset and the stories really resonated. The exercises were fun and kept everyone engaged and positive. It’s made a genuine difference to the team – given them the tools to understand their own blockers and how to overcome them. I’d highly recommend Anis to any teams looking to unlock their potential and build peer relationships with their customers.

Managing Director Landmark Geodata

Your talk was enlightening and was the focus of much discussion today. To now have them talking in this way is a real step in the right direction. Thank you.

COO Meadow Foods

Since your keynote, in our Marketing meetings we take the time to reflect on what didn’t go very well in the past week, and how we could’ve done something to make it better (in order to process what happened and ‘detach’, so we can learn to control these situations in the future). We also have a compliment circle at the end. I personally love that we still do these things [1 year later]; I always feel more energised and motivated after we have these meetings.

Marketing Communications Consultant DLL Group

We’re implementing so many amazing take aways from your session to the team.

Head of Global Strategic Marketing DLL, USA

Thank you for an amazing keynote on Wednesday [annual sales kick-off]. It can be so difficult to make an hours-long virtual event engaging. Not only did you help our team accomplish this, but you also made it a ton of fun! We’ve received high remarks and compliments from our colleagues this week. People thought the presentation was refreshing, funny, and exciting.

Marketing Manager DLL Group

Your speech you gave last night at our annual sales kick-off in Iceland was inspiring! It gave me some good tips on how to look on the more positive side of things and how best to move forward. Thought it was amazing! Thank you!

Account Manager Axis Communications

We loved the passion and delivery and it was on point. Really liked how you closed the session with the key takeaways and the Helix, very clever.

Head of Marketing Europe Eppendorf UK

Anis delivered an inspiring, thought provoking presentation, delivered in a humble and easy to follow style that resonated with the audience.

Regional Director Axis Communications

Loved our session with Anis, thought provoking and motivational. We have already planned how to incorporate the complementary circle idea into our peer group meetings and I look forward to embedding the other techniques shared, especially as designed in such away that they are simple to implement and do not require oodles of time in the diary to reap the reward.

Development Manager Pearson

I really enjoyed AGILE MINDSET Masterclass and so did the team. Anis is really engaging and created a lot of energy in the room with her activities. I took away some good tips on managing mindfulness and refocusing.

Team Leader American Express

On behalf of London Economic Action Partnership and the Mayor of London, we cannot thank Anis enough for joining us as a speaker. We received so much incredible feedback – they said they found inspiration and received practical advice to help them break through barriers and achieve the potential.

In addition to her natural comedic abilities, Anis’ keynote was very insightful. She had us engaged from start to finish and we as a team took a lot from it.
