Real and human

"Thank you for being a part of the Responsible Gambling Council’s first ever virtual conference and delivering an excellent presentation. The themes of hope, humanity and courage that were woven into your keynote address were incredibly meaningful. Your use of stories and real-world examples were not only timely but extremely relevant for the gambling industry as well as the communities that we live in. Not only was your presentation the perfect way to kick-off our conference, you made it possible for us to reconnect with each other both professionally and personally. You challenged all of us to rethink and reframe, which was a wonderful way to set the tone for the entire event. I have no doubt that our delegates found great value in your inclusive leadership presentation and the practical tips for integrating diversity, equity and inclusion to become more effective leaders.

"Campfire Kinship and Gayathri's humble call to action at a speaking event last year led to my own recognition of ways I could use my story to advance diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging conversations. Her generous encouragement along the way has created space for me to do this work as a personal time investment. Learning from her work and the work of other DEIB experts, I see better ways for how I can aid those most impacted by a system that lacks belonging and also check and change my own behaviours. Gayathri - congrats on bravely using Campfire Kindship to leave the world a little better than you found it through profound storytelling."

"Gayathri, you did an amazing job at striking a balance between important issues and keeping it positive. Your keynote for International Women's Day resonated with people. They left feeling inspired and like they could make a difference. Thank you again so much for being a part of our International Women’s Day event. I don’t think we could have had a better speaker than you!"

"I would highly recommend Gayathri Shukla as a public speaker. Gayathri presented at Scovan Engineering's International Women's Day Forum 2021. Gayathri presents with an unrelenting authenticity that grips audience members. Her passion for personal storytelling through, Campfire Kinship, translates with ease in her own storytelling on stage. Speaking from the heart, she uses cadence, pause, and personal examples to hook the audience and has them hanging on her every word. Her speech has had a major impact on those who had the privilege to hear it. Gayathri has a gift that should be shared with others. I sincerely recommend Gayathri for future speaking engagements where she will make a meaningful difference in the lives of others."

"Over the past year I have had the distinct pleasure of getting to know Gayathri through our mutual passion for equity, diversity and inclusion, and her book Landed. I have attended external speaking engagements as well as witnessed her passion for storytelling through a workshop with our Canadian staff. She is an expert in her field, an engaging speaker and has been a highlight for our team. Thank you, Gayathri, for your courage, passion and authenticity! I look forward to continuing to work with you in the future."
