“I worked with Anna Goat during the prestigious Telstra Best of Business Awards. As a National Finalist, Anna was required to prepare and deliver a high level business pitch.

It was apparent from the first time we met, that her presentation skills were amazing and that her capacity to engage and inform was of the highest calibre. 

Anna has a comprehensive and extensive knowledge of leadership, gender equity, business and building better futures, and she is able to translate such information in dynamic and relatable ways.

Anna has the ability to connect with her audience because she is generous with her expertise and her time and without question, genuinely interested in the audiences she speaks to. 

Anna’s presentation style is one of high energy and motivation. She is exceptionally articulate and she has the ability to present a multitude of concepts and information in an understandable and entertaining manner.”

Barbara Warren, Public Speaking Coach

“Anna has been a presenter at BiG Day In Darwin for us for the past 2 years.

BiG Day In is an IT Careers Conference designed to inspire Year 9-12 students to pursue STEM studies at school & continue into STEM careers. 

Anna’s presentations are always innovative, engaging and inspiring. The work that Rise Project Consulting are doing is incredible & super interesting & inspiring for students – especially all the super cool drone work! 

Anna’s presentations always results in loads of questions from students in the Q & A sessions at the end of her talk which is always a great sign with 16 year olds (often a tough crowd) that you’ve engaged them & piqued their interest. 

I cannot recommend Anna highly enough both for corporate events & for career inspiration for potential students/leaders.”
