My Recommendations
Marc Convey - Motivational Speaker
“One of the most polished speakers I’ve seen. To be this engaged, articulate and connected at such a young age is mightily impressive. I helped curate and host an event where Amelie spoke to a room full of (mostly) much older people than her and she left us all with hope for the future. Inspiring.”
Mo Kanjilal - TEDx Speaker
“Amelie had the audience captivated and inspired by her brilliant talk at the Speaker’s Collective Southern Summit. She speaks so clearly and passionately that she can hold the audience. She knows how to engage people in her subject. Her knowledge of the subject keeps people interested. I was left feeling inspired into action. We need people of all ages to engage in politics and driving change. She also finished her talk exactly on time with 2 seconds spare. Not many speakers manage to do that. Highly recommended as a speaker!”
Peter Middleton - Podcast Producer
“Amelie has a passion for politics and inclusion of young people that, unfortunately, I haven’t seen very often. She is an excellent and compelling public speaker and her drive to find a space where young people are heard, and participatory in politics, is exceptional and needed.”
Jon Salmon - Co-founder Byte Entertainment
“It was a real pleasure to have Amelie speak at our most recent Speakers Collective Summit in Brighton. She brought honesty, clarity and warmth to the room, sharing her story in a way that connected with everyone present. As Co-CEO of Speakers Collective, I really appreciated how professional and thoughtful Amelie was throughout from our early conversations to the day itself. She’s a brilliant communicator and a great presence to have at any event.”
Charlie Hart - Professional Speaker
“I know Amelie from the Professional Speaking Association and Speakers Collective (we are both members of both) and didn’t know what to expect from her when I heard she was delivering a talk at Speakers Collective Southern Summit, given her youth… but I was absolutely blown away! She is a natural at speaking- exuding confidence in her delivery. Amelie is insightful, perceptive, and extremely credible in her subject matter (on this occasion, speaking about how and why to engage kids and young people in politics and current affairs). I highly recommend her.”
Brian Cooke - Assistant Principal Colchester English Study Centre
“I was delighted to have Amelie Abass as one of three esteemed judges for the final of the English-Speaking Union Sixth Form Public Speaking Competition in December 2025. Amelie engaged positively with the other judges in detailed discussion where her expertise in performance was a key element in decision-making as well as making inspiring comments to participants. I very much look forward to working with Amelie again in the future and would recommend her most highly.”
Derren Hayes - Editor Children & Young People Now
“Amelie is a confident, articulate and accomplished public speaker who it has been a privilege to work with this year as a young judge for the Children & Young People Now Awards and presenting an award trophy on the night in front of 500 children’s services professionals.”
Molly Maguire - Campaign manager at Make Votes Matter
“Amelie has been an incredible youth ambassador with Make Votes Matter, and was at the centre of helping us realise our mission to build a movement that puts young voices at the forefront of our campaign. Amelie has been a total powerhouse, identifying opportunities to amplify the message of our movement in a diverse range of settings, from coordinating events to conducting interviews with political figures across the political spectrum. We are truly impressed by what Amelie has brought to our organisation and grateful for her ongoing contribution.”
James Mitchell - President of the University of Surrey Politics Society 2025/26
“I am so glad to have met Amelie as she has managed to put on the most successful departmental event of the decade launching the politics department and society to new heights with her political connections and work ethic. She is a fantastic public speaker and incredible to listen to. As the president of the politics society I thoroughly recommend her for speaking, presenting and interviewing roles.”
Hannah Jones - Head of Communications of Surrey Student Union
“Working with Amelie was a brilliant experience. Amelie chaired the Presidential debate as part of Surrey Students’ Union’s annual Union Officer elections. Amelie demonstrated great skill in public speaking, leading the debate with confidence and real clarity in her delivery. Amelie was very professional and engaged well with staff in the lead up to the debate. I would absolutely recommend Amelie for public speaking engagements, debate chairing roles, presenting opportunities, or any other roles where public speaking skills or verbal communication are required. We would certainly work with Amelie again!”
Saffron Cutts - Student Voice Coordinator at University of Surrey Students Union
“Amelie was an incredible chair for us during Question Time. She supported us by chairing two debates as part of our annual student elections. She chaired both the Union President and Vice-President support debates, demonstrating professionalism and speaking clearly with each candidate while remaining impartial. It was lovely to work with her, she helped the debates run smoothly and made a significant positive contribution to the event. Thank you Amelie!”
