What People have said about An’s Speaking and Workshops

“Shaped our thinking about gamification”

“Your insights and expertise helped shaped our thinking about the most appropriate use of gamification in education. “

“Best choice in lab leader at HR Tech World.”
An has proven to be our best choice in a lab leader on Gamification in HR. This year at HR Tech World Congress we scheduled over 190 speakers with amazing content but An stole the show with a packed workshop, which left little standing space and the attendees asking for more.

“thought provoking, practical and can be applied to any business. ”
Since implementing a few of the techniques we learnt during the 5 weeks, we have noticed a significant increase in guest participation throughout our program, even though we only thought the introductions of Gamification principles would go un-detected – they obviously have. We are now starting to set additional time aside in our planning process so that we can introduce further concepts and ideas and look forward to it all.

““An’s enthusiasm and knowledge for Gamification is infectious.”
An’s enthusiasm and knowledge for Gamification is infectious. During her talks I learnt so much about Gamification and how to use the science of gaming to motivate and inspire people in non-gaming situations. She created a really inspiring and lively environment where we were able to explore and learn how to implement gamification into real-life business situations.
