It’s both my pleasure and honor to acknowledge Rania Hoteit for presenting in the webinar “Entrepreneurship in Pandemic Times”. Rania’s candid style won over the audience the moment she began speaking. Best of all, she delivered valuable, important ideas for every entrepreneur. She gave practical advice on how to navigate the crisis and helped attendees to fast-forward to the post-pandemic world. My favorite line was, ‘To achieve greatness in uncertain times, entrepreneurs need to develop a resilient, purpose-driven mindset’. We needed someone that would motivate us to focus on what’s important, and she delivered. I highly recommend Rania as a speaker. If you get a chance to bring her into your conference, do it before someone else books her.

Our audience enjoyed hearing Rania’s views about the need to see technology as an enabler of real-world action, as opposed to a standalone go to solution. Her outlook on real world collaboration as a driver of technological solutions is a perspective that provides an interesting viewpoint when evaluating the potential impact of technology on industries and markets in the future.
— Pranav Jain, Events Program Manager at The Economist

I had the pleasure of hearing Rania Hoteit for the first time back in 2015 and was moved to my core! I’ve been in the audience to hear speakers like Tony Robbins and Dr. Wayne Dyer and I place what I heard and also felt from Rania above. While she was on stage speaking to hundreds I felt like she was just speaking to me! Rania is relatable and her story transcends to so many. Her global impact can be seen around the world and also in my own little piece of the world. Igniting the audience to live bigger, to do greater, and to achieve more comes from hearing her speak. I asked Rania to speak at our first PIVOT Towards Your Purpose Conference held in Santa Cruz on September 28th, 2018. She leveled the platform by making everyone in the audience see the true potential they have. I witnessed so many in the room sitting on the edge of their seats soaking up every word. After the event, she made connections as I had done with her back in 2015. A beautiful thing to witness.

Rania engages with the audience having them participate in being a part of the event in a much BIGGER way. They leave with action and a clearer path on how they can live a fuller life and have a much larger impact. Rania is powerful, intelligent, passionate, and caring. A game changer! She made the difference from this just being another event to creating a movement for all of us to play bigger in our world! These are just a few words described from our PIVOT audience. Everyone asked for her to come back.. and I hope she does!
— Taylor Boone, Co-Founder and Organizer at PIVOT Conference

Rania exemplifies resiliency. She is courageously self-aware. She is humble with a genuine growth mindset. She is highly empathetic and adaptive, knows her strengths and aligns actions with uncompromised values. These qualities - in addition to being a seasoned entrepreneur - inspired me to invite her to speak to my Stanford Continuing Studies Resilient Leadership class. And, she did not disappoint. From sharing her immigration story to the ‘how tos’ of creating a high-performing culture for her own company ID4A Technologies, Rania was authentic and incredibly generous with her business insights. Her vulnerability invited the students to open up about their own personal challenges. Her pragmatic style led to a dynamic exchange of ‘now, what can we do about it’. In our complex, uncertain times, Rania has much to offer our organizations and communities on how to lead through change.
— Frieda K. Edgette, Founder of Novos Consulting and Stanford Professor

Rania is amazing, she adds value to spaces she chooses to commit to in a very meaningful manner; the audience walks away with tangible knowledge and solutions. Rania spoke at our conference on ‘The Digital Transformation of Industries in The 4th Industrial Revolution’ where she shared her expertise in robotics, automation, Internet of Things, and advanced manufacturing, as well as the impact of these technologies on the future of work and business opportunities for economic growth. Very few people are able to cast a vivid vision of the future based on their current work, but Rania operates at the forefront of the new economy and as such her insights are real, substantial and based on her actual work. We’re honored to have hosted her.
— Kirk-Anthony Hamilton, Co-Founder and Curator at The Destination Experience

Rania participated in our “CEO Advice of a Lifetime” panel and gave a standalone Keynote presentation where she shared an abundance of anecdotes, insights and life tips that captured the full attention of the crowd.

As a C-Suite guest Keynote speaker at the Girl’s Leadership Academy Meetup, Ms. Hoteit was an inspiration to the many young girls who attended the yearly non-profit event. The program is designed to break the gender gap and equip girls across the globe with the skills and confidence to seek leadership roles, feel the power within their voice, and create positive change in the world. Ms. Hoteit’s knowledge and passion for helping others and empowering women poised her to be an excellent resource for the girls who learned valuable life lessons from her on the subject of eliminating Limiting Beliefs that they will surely always remember. Additionally, her contribution as a Business Plan Pitch judge provided valuable feedback to the girls as they competed for the best business plan pitch contest.
