The simple act of changing your mind can change your life.
From the moment the whirlwind that is Fiori Giovanni hits the stage, she has her audience enraptured. At times laughing out loud, other times in tears and often deep in thoughtful silence as they travel an exciting and emotional journey that will change their lives.
Sure, Fiori's extraordinary story is a route probably only a few other women in the world have travelled, but she tells it in a way that leaves her audience with the keys, tools, and attitudes that shape courage, resilience, real leadership and a shift in mindset.
Courage to tackle the changes they've dreamt about but for which they fear failure, Resilience to overcome challenges, Leadership to envision and define their goals and Mindset to shift from a victim to a victor. In a nutshell, Fiori shares a potent formula that empowers others to overcome problems, both big and small.
All the above traits are something that Fiori has needed in massive amounts being born in a war-torn African and overcoming the challenge of a pubescent arranged marriage, and as a teenager being mandatorily subscripted into the army and clinging to life in a leaking boat loaded with refugees. She had the courage to survive and learn from these experiences to become a serial entrepreneur, a #1 best-selling author, media commentator, human rights activist, proud mother, and sought-after Keynote speaker.
While she'd experienced pain and loss on a devastating scale already, the worst was yet to come. In 2020, the unimaginable happened. She lost her beloved seven-month and half old daughter, Illen. Fiori's journey of grief led to her certification in Self-Directed Healing practitioner and Hypnotherapy Certificates.
Throughout her colourful career, she has built up a bank of knowledge, information, life experiences and strategies and this wasn't any different for her. Fiori is the perfect example of how life is not about what happens in your life, rather, how you manage it. And, how a mastered mind can be harnessed, during the good times and bad.

Fiori was the keynote speaker at our recent team offsite event. We focused on building a resilient mindset during adversity, with Fiori’s session kicking off our day. The team were incredibly moved by her story and inspired by the strength, determination and will she’s demonstrated throughout her life. Which is exactly what we were looking for in planning this event. Her unique ability to combine story-telling, audience engagement and tailored strategies for our MYOB team members to take on, made her session both memorable and impactful. Fiori is extremely professional, going over and above to deliver on our initial brief. She was wonderful to work with in the lead-up to the event, offering to come in prior to the event to run through the tech, as there were some complexities due to it being a mix of in-person and virtual. She arrived an hour early on the day to ensure everything was ready and was flexible, even starting 30mins early when we decided to swap some sessions around. Would highly recommend Fiori for any type of event and look forward to working with her again.
Fiori had previously presented at a CPA discussion, and had received so many accolades that she was asked to return. Prior to seeing her speak, we were told that Fiori delivered an unforgettable, empowering and educative session, and that she kept her audience on the edge of their seat the entire time. When I finally attended her event, I understood what all the fuss was about! Her seminar was indeed inspiring, riveting and fun. She kept us engaged by asking powerful, thought-provoking questions. She also maintained our energy throughout the session with unique physical activities. Fiori is the perfect balance between being con dent and unassuming. She commands attention in any room with her poise, warmth and assuredness. I would love to listen to her speak again.
Fiori is a dynamic and engaging speaker. Myself and the rest of the audience were mesmerised from start to finish. We were also motivated by her energy, inspired by her story and enthused by her sense of humour. Fiori is a genuine, authentic speaker who provides realistic and practical tips. Anyone who implements her strategies and tips will improve their performance in life. It's rare to see a speaker make such a lasting impression, but Fiori has done just that!
Fiori's powerful personal message inspires everyone to believe they can overcome any obstacles in order to achieve what they want. No matter what the topic, Fiori can be relied upon to deliver an engaging, entertaining and thought-provoking presentation.
Fiori is a pleasure to work with and she really takes the time to understand the needs of her audience. I invited her back to speak for us without hesitation. As well as being dynamic and powerful, Fiori has a strong presence and connects and interacts powerfully with her audience. Her message is both relevant and inspirational. Her presentation inspired me to reflect on my own life, after which I felt motivated and energised to make important changes. Fiori's keynote will open your mind to unlimited possibilities. It's an empowering experience. thanks Fiori
