Described as a "modern Renaissance woman and featured as an alumni spotlight by the Center for International Education Exchange (CIEE) for "Inspiring Social Change 2014, Corina's been brought in to hyper charge events from Singapore to Denmark, France to Rwanda integrating a diversity of user experiences to make your events not one to miss!”
“Very positive and fun spirit! I loved the way she handled the technical interruption by singing and animating the dancers to dance to her singing.”
”She can captivate the crowd and energize the party. Her joy and energy were contagious (she either enjoyed herself or is a very good actress). It’s easy to follow her while she speaks and she speaks with a clear diction, which is very good for non-native listeners. We of course loved the little stories interwoven into the evening.”
“Highlight was the MC!”
”The incredible MC filling in when the music wasn’t ready for the demo.” “Wonderful job”
”The MC... Spectacular.”
”The people were really amazing! And the MC, wow!”
”The MC! And the soul train that she arranged. There was a feeling of community.”
”The MC improvising with voice while waiting for technical problems with the sound system to be fixed.””
“Corina is a star facilitator and energizer for your conference events as shared at the American Legation, Morocco in Tangiers! ”
“Corina was gentle and empathetic in her approach to coaching and facilitation. This brought a balance to the team - we were all able to chill out a bit and bring our best.”
“Brought in to energise and inspire 800+ engineers taking part in the Global Grand Challenges Summit, Corina kicked off the ‘Future Cities panel with a musical energiser alongside representatives from brands such as Accenture, Alibaba and the Institute for Global Prosperity.”
At the Global Grand Challenges Summit, IGP’s Professor Moore continued the introduction to the session Future Cities: How do we create sustainable living places for 10 billion people? by encouraging us to channel our focus to energy. This was both in terms of the substance of the discussions to come and our contributions to them. “Cities present huge challenges to us, after all, and the new forms of discovery, implementation and knowledge sharing needed to tackle them will take effort and invention. Lucky for us, we had the talent of engineer and jazz vocalist Dr Corina Kwami (Policy Advisor, Royal Academy of Engineering) to show us the way."
“A friend of the IGP, we originally worked with Corina in February 2019 for their conference “SDGeneration – A Citizen Science Movement”, where she performed a repertoire of jazz standards featuring communities and social justice. In the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Corina explained how creativity are the lifeblood of cities, and essential parts to its health.”
