Client Testimonial
Dr. Motaghy participated in the panel “Parasocial World – AI and Humans-in-the-Loop,” which I moderated, alongside Luis Bravo Martins, Joanna Pilch and Dr. Stephanie Camarena. As moderator I had the closest possible view of how she works, and I can speak to it without qualification. She came thoroughly prepared, engaged substantively with the other panellists rather than delivering a prepared monologue, and brought the human and psychological dimension into a discussion that would otherwise have remained narrowly technical. Her framing of human development as the determining factor in whether our technologies serve us or come to define us was, in my judgement, among the more clarifying contributions of the session.
She met a futurist’s systems-level reading of technological change with a psychologist’s account of what such change does to human attention, relationships and wellbeing, and the exchange became genuinely generative rather than two experts speaking past one another. Across these settings her range was striking. She was equally effective before senior political and institutional figures and before general public audiences, adjusting her register without diluting her substance – precise and credible in the former context, warm and immediately accessible in the latter.
Her handling of a culturally different audience deserves specific mention. Bulgarian audiences are discerning and are not easily persuaded by imported inspirational material. Dr. Motaghy read the room accurately, adapted her framing and examples to it, and earned genuine engagement rather than assuming it. She is a magnetic presence, on a stage or in a public square. She holds an audience through the substance of her thinking rather than through performance, and conversation continued well after her sessions closed. Her professionalism throughout matched her work in front of the audience: she was punctual, well prepared, flexible when timing shifted, generous with her time before and after her sessions, and entirely straightforward to work with.
