Hazriq is one of a kind in human transformation. Being educated to the value of speaking and performance skills has been an eye opening experience. He creates an environment that is fun and insightful, and that roots the tools for effective engagement deep in one's subconscious to be drawn on at every applicable situation. Being an introvert has created many fears in dealing with others, but he has equipped me with simple yet effective strategies and techniques that allow me to engage in a way that I never imagined possible. I will always be indebted for this gift.

Very seldom you get to learn a skill from an entirely new perspective. Surprisingly I did, when I attended a mini workshop lead by Hazriq at the Association of Professional Trainers event. Applying acting techniques to public speaking is something unheard of. The session was interesting, fun and effective. If you have always been afraid of public speaking, talk to Hazriq. He has the antidote to cure your public speaking fear.

I remember meeting Hazriq at his office two years ago, and immediately very impressed with his insights into speaking and training. Since then, I've seen him in action several times and it impressed me even more. His expertise in theatre techniques bring his workshops to live, and engage his participants like few others can. More than anything, his humility to keep learning and growing proves that he will go very far in the training business.

"Congratulations Bro Hazriq Idrus for delivering such a lively, highly effective and enlightening presentation amidst Toastmasters from Malaysia and Singapore from all races! The audience was very sporting and supportive during the engagement ! Alhamdulillah."

"My work with Hazriq Idrus, the founder of The Speaking Factory, aimed to increase my confidence and the dramatic aspects in my presentations at the recently-concluded Toastmasters International's inter-division competition.
I was thrilled that after the coaching sessions, not only did my presentation styles were brought up a notch, but I also won the Top Prize in that annual competition! What I appreciated most from Hazriq was his professionalism and his acumen in the presentation and public speaking field. He's a no-nonsense coach with a high threshold of patience (with my antics!) yet firm in his delivery to meet, and exceeded, the desired outcome." Suhail Abdul Hamid

" I found Hazriq's techniques on improving my presentation skills extremely valuable. I was able to take a whole new approach to a keynote lecture I was asked to give at a conference. Even though I had presented many times before and thought that I was a skilled presenter, Hazriq was able to introduce me to more creative ways to present. He allowed me to connect to the audience and share my experience rather than just present the facts. I strongly recommend Hazriq and will definitely invite him to give a workshop at our next conference in Singapore"

"... Thank you for teaching me such a simple and fun way of speaking in public. As I mentioned to you when we met, I was getting ready for my big day. I knew I wanted to say something, at least to thank my guests. And so the time came and I found myself delivering my simple message in a calm and natural way. I grabbed that mic and I started talking! I thought I was going to get very nervous, but I didn't! I practiced mentally and used pauses, and looking at different parts and people in the audience. Plus it helped to remember that they are my friends after all, and the worse that can happen is that they laugh at my mishap and that would not be a big deal.... And for that, I have to Thank You Hazriq. I have no doubt that when the time comes, I'll be seeking your assistance again."
