“Melissa’s expertise and unique blend of HR and Tech is exceptional. Melissa has the ability to decipher the blocks and facilitate the development of strategic plans that build the bridge between HR and tech.

As a result, we have a strategy that encompasses the future, reflects the changing demands and expectations of the modern business environment; it is adaptable, considers emerging technologies, is highly collaborative and ensures we operate in a socially responsible and sustainable manner.  Who better to have on your side as a coach, trainer, mentor or advisor, than Melissa Crawford “

“We have utilised Melissa’s expertise as a presenter and a panellist at our last three HR Tech and Innovation conferences across New Zealand and Australia due to both her engaging content and style. A crowd favourite, Melissa’s content is always relevant, current and thought provoking with a future focus that pushes people to think ahead.

Her brand of Tech with Heart is exactly why we like working with her as she manages to weave the intersection of future technology and people psychology to help her audience understand why both will play such a critical role in our future.”

“When looking for a speaker for an HR focused breakfast, Melissa at Tech with Heart was a fabulous choice.  Much of the feedback we received focused not only on her extensive knowledge, but also her ability to convey often technical concepts into language that clarified and motivated our audience.  You can see her passion for the blending of technology and HR practices, and the profession will be the better because of it.

“Melissa wowed the crowd with a taste of the future – the metaverse of workplaces was a fascinating topic. She demonstrated her metaverse experiences on the conference screen which made it real. I look forward to working with her again”

On behalf of the NZPSHA executive, I take this opportunity to thank you for presenting to our recent NZPSHA conference. Your excellent presentation on emerging technology and digital psychology behaviour’s shaping the future of work was insightful, engaging and very though provoking.

Attendees commented that “Excellent speaker really made us think. Would love to hear more from her. Very interesting to know what technology is available to make us work more efficiently. Excellent content and presenter. Great to have this perspective on AI & hear about innovations coming into our environments”.

We recently had the pleasure of having Melissa present on “The Impact of Technology on the Future of Work.” to our business community.

Melissa prepared a thoroughly captivating and informative presentation that really resonated with our audience. It was evident that Melissa was not just sharing information but that she was genuinely passionate about the subject matter.

Not only was Melissa professional in her approach but she managed to seamlessly inject a sense of fun and enthusiasm into her delivery whilst keeping the audience engaged and eager to learn more.

I would highly recommend Melissa for anyone seeking an informative and enjoyable speaker. She exceeded all expectations, leaving a lasting impression on our audience.
