Testimonials
"I commend this report for demonstrating how much we should welcome those immigrants who come to our shores, how much we should assist them in their endeavours to work for themselves and, ultimately, how much their efforts will benefit the whole economy.
Lord Young commending Rafael's Migrant Entrepreneur Report, at its launch in the Houses fo Parliament.

"Meeting Rafael is a gift life provided me with, which I am so grateful for. I first attended his course "How to give a TED talk to engage 25K people", where he taught a group of us invaluable lessons on structuring and preparing for the talk as well as teaching us public speaking techniques. At the back of the course, I was selected to deliver a TEDx talk! Working with Rafael on a 1:1 basis when preparing me for the TEDx talk was incredible, fun, intense and productive. Although I am used to public speaking, he was able to take my speaking skills to a whole new level of proficiency. He was patient, caring and constructive when providing feedback. I sincerely feel that I wouldn't have been able to deliver the talk without his mentoring sessions. Thank you so much!!!! I can't wait to continue working with Rafael as in my experience whatever he touches becomes gold."

I've known Rafael for a few years and I can vouch for his dedication to help entrepreneurs to build their profile and become more successful. His passion to help migrant entrepreneurs is vibrant. Some of this works are campaigns, books and reports to shine a light in the migrant community and show the benefits that migrant entrepreneurs bring to the UK.

"I became a member of High Profile Club 9 months ago, in that time I have had countless articles in the media, made a bunch of great new connections, felt empowered to speak to the media more confidently and have a much more visible profile. Rafael has built such a great company, since the release of the new online system, I feel like a rocket has been put on my profile!! "

"I am delighted that the IoD is involved in telling the story of those who come to the UK and build their businesses here. I am an immigrant myself. I hope, through this report and the work of other likeminded groups, we can contribute to a more upbeat debate around immigration to the United Kingdom."

"I'm a huge fan of Rafael and the work his organisation do. I have used HPC as a supplier and they have certainly delivered great results for me over this time. I was an expert in my area, but since using their services I feel I am definitely more Visible, Credible and Influential."
