“Manisha’s ability to bridge the gap between technology concepts and practical application was impressive. Participants left not only with a deeper understanding of AI but also with a sense of empowerment to leverage AI effectively in their work. Her talk is extremely valuable for anyone interested in the future of AI and its impact on our lives and workplaces.”

"Manisha Dhawan served as a keynote speaker at one of my events, the annual Membrane Technology Forum, an education-focused meeting focused on filtration and separation technologies used in food and beverage processing and wastewater treatment. Her presentation focused on workforce development. The information presented included strategies specific to membrane technology, but also included a broader context to generally aid with employee recruitment, development, and retention in today’s evolving career landscape. Her affable, conversational manner quickly engaged the audience, and retained their attention throughout the course of the presentation. Her content capably set the stage for our event."

“AI became the main topic overnight and can feel overwhelming to tackle when it’s not your everyday language. Manisha was able to provide an interactive and engaging introduction that provided a framework on how to get started and highlighted HR’s strategic role as we adapt to the rapidly evolving space. She broke down complex concepts in understandable terms for the non-technical. I highly recommend her.”

"Manisha is exceptional in her field! We brought her on to help our team grow with leadership, management and understanding how to increase emotional intelligence across the board. She exceeded our expectations! I would highly recommend Manisha for any company that wants to offer their employees this huge benefit. At Axis we feel it is extremely important to invest in the people that work with you – and Manisha offers the exact trainings we were looking for. I feel very fortunate to have found her through a networking event! I can’t say enough about how impressed we are with her work."

"Energetic and relatable are the two words that comes to mind when I think about Manisha Dhawan. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Manisha when she led a session called “Building Your Personal Brand.” Manisha’s ability to make her presentation relatable to the audience was extremely impressive. Of the 60 in attendance, ALL left requesting for Manisha to return and show them how to use their personal statements to build their LinkedIn profile. Manisha would be a true asset for any position requiring coaching and/or public speaking and comes with my heartfelt recommendation"

"I attended a presentation Manisha gave to a group of HR Leaders on AI in HR. I found the presentation and materials very well done. Manisha provided the content/information with depth and insight while also making it accessible to everyone who attended. I also enjoyed her interaction with audience members and providing resources in her presentation. Highly recommended."

"Manisha was an exceptional presenter and consultant! She is very knowledgeable on the topics of Web3 Development and blockchain technology. During her presentation, she made it clear that she is very approachable and didn’t mind going further into her topics with any individual. During our meeting, she was able to advise me and guide me into introducing new technologies for my growing team!"

"Manisha has an in-depth understanding of the subject matter she discusses. She presented to our IAW group and was able to provide extensive information on Emotional Intelligence but in an easy to digest way. She kept the group engaged and we hope to have her back again in the future."

"We had Manisha back for a second 90-minute workshop. This time the topic was on Effective Communication Skills targeted at Young Professionals interested in the medtech industry. Her workshop was beautifully crafted, engaging, and started a crucial conversation on good communication skills. She led us through identifying and understanding our individual communication styles then gave us tools to be able to adapt our style to accommodate others. We’re very lucky to have Manisha twice at our workshop series and look forward to working with her again."

"Manisha was an exceptional presenter for our professionals program. She is clear, concise and knowledgeable on her topic. Manisha created opportunities for an interactive workshop. She is approachable and personable in her speaking style. It created a space of honest interaction and learning. We plan to have her back to utilize her expertise. Manisha helped our professionals see the importance of EQ."

"Manisha was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in navigating the careers and opportunities within the life sciences. She planned and created an impactful 90 minute workshop. I highly recommend Manisha for anyone looking for personal / professional development, presentations or just to talk to a friendly face."

"Manisha provided us with a wonderful one-hour workshop for our nonprofit staff and AmeriCorps members in December 2020. She was truly a breath of fresh air after a heavy year. Her calm and approachable demeanor made it easy to listen and stay engaged. I especially appreciated the affirmations she provides. Her workshop was a great first step into my emotional awareness and wellness journey."

Manisha is a well organized and a hard working individual. I had the pleasure of working with Manisha on one of Grubhub's largest projects of rolling out Taco Bell National Delivery. Together we launched over 4,100+ Taco Bell's on delivery nationwide that resulted in increased store sales and increase in average check size. Her ability to take on a new challenge that had never been done before at Taco Bell, stay organized and manage the rollout was incredible. It was such a pleasure working with her on this project and I could not have done it without her. I hope I have the ability to work with her on other projects in the future as it was such a pleasure.

"I worked with Manisha through a multi-year complex ecommerce program. Her strong analytical skills and deep understanding of how technology both supports and impacts business objectives and processes was critical to the success of the program. Manisha was always steps ahead in identifying risks and issues and was able to propose sound solutions to prevent impact to the business. Additionally, Manisha's calm and focused demeanor was a strong asset to the team. I would love to work with Manisha again soon and strongly recommend her."

"Manisha is one of the BEST professionals I have ever come across! She was able to take a challenging project, organize and create a plan, and execute flawlessly!  Manisha created and delivered a training and change management plan and materials for over 100 Sales and Marketing directors. This included processes that were new for the business, which required keen attention to people and the culture.  Manisha quickly learned the processes and culture, and creatively presented training in a clear and engaging manner. Our team benefitted from many valuable tools and an effective train-the-trainer program that set our team up for success.  I give Manisha my highest recommendation and hope to work with her again in the near future."

"Manisha is fantastic! I had the pleasure of working with her on a partnership between Taco Bell and DoorDash for delivery and she was a huge key to the success of the project. She is smart, personable, and always willing to get her hands dirty when it's needed most. Without her unique ability to navigate the needs of operations, marketing, and IT it's safe to say that we would have had a lot of trouble tackling some of the complex challenges we faced - but we did have her, so everything went great! Lastly, Manisha is a great team player, and I can say with first hand experience that any team would be lucky to have her."

"While at Intel, I developed several topics/challenges derived from real Intel business questions. Manisha immediately took a leadership role for her group in developing requirements, performing secondary/primary market research, analyzing data and producing recommendations on the "future of research & development networks" topic. Manisha demonstrated a strong level of self-motivation, perseverance and tolerance for ambiguity throughout the entire process that effectively enabled her team to navigate the "curve balls" I threw at them. In the end, Manisha and her team produced and presented excellent analysis and recommendations to a diverse Intel audience of technology and mgt; located across several R&D and product groups and in several geo's (US, Latin America and Europe)."

"It has truly been an honor working with Manisha for the past few years. Manisha is the type of person you can throw any project at and she will over deliver every time. I got to work with Manisha on a massive eCommerce re-platforming project from beginning to end. As one of the key Product Owners, she worked with multiple vendors and cross functional teams to design, document and execute one of the most complex eCommerce projects I have ever seen. Manisha's attention to detail and problem solving skills are best in class. She is also a joy to work with and has an amazing heart. I would gladly work with Manisha on any project!"

"Manisha is one of the most outstanding people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. We worked closely together on a team in business school researching, analyzing and presenting a new strategic initiative to Senior Managers at Intel. Manisha was nominated as our project manager and she did a great job making sure that we met our deadlines and produced top-notch deliverables. Despite numerous other commitments, Manisha was extremely enthusiastic about the project and the semiconductor industry and she became a subject matter expert in a short period of time. She motivated our team to go above and beyond what was expected and have a great time while doing so, and we were all extremely proud of the end result. I give Manisha my highest recommendation."

"We were very lucky to have Manisha Dhawan at Cal State San Marcos. Manisha was a very inspirational speaker, and gave the students a vision for the future. Her insights were not only deeply informative but also genuinely inspiring.
Manisha brought a wealth of real-world experience and shared personal stories that resonated strongly with the audience. She led discussions and gave insightful answers to the students questions. She also did an exceptional job of breaking down complex career decisions into relatable advice. Students especially appreciated her comments about facing challenges and the strategies used to overcome them.
Manisha has the ability to connect with students. She offered encouragement, answered questions with patience and clarity, and showed a sincere interest in helping the students succeed.
We are thankful that Manisha took the time to attend, and are very much looking forward to having Manisha back for future events!"

"We are in the final throes of a multi-year project. Manisha was brought on at the very beginning to assist with our business blueprint model, all the way through design, test and implementation. We needed her position to be one which was a true expert - in order to lead us through the project. Her work and project methodologies are second to none - and she provided us with unparalleled experience and knowledge to help us design a sustainable business model that would take us into the next decade. Her work throughout the project has always been stellar. We have gone from business blueprint, to multiple build and test cycles, string testing and production support. Without Manisha's guidance and tutelage, we would have not been able to deliver such a high quality product.
Our first implementation was so un-eventful (in a good way), thanks in fact to her tightly controlled methods of address changes, scope-creep, business expectations etc... Manisha had no problems in any consultative role we threw at her, which was very impressive, as learning our business model from the outside is no easy task. She has become in an integral member of every decision we make on this project - all the while, keeping true to allow us, the client, to ultimately make our own decisions.
This is a major, multi-million dollar project at a Fortune 100 company. We couldn't be more thrilled with the support, guidance and expertise that Manisha has contributed to our company.
