RAVES ABOUT Saiyyidah Zaidi

“Saiyyidah was great and really supportive, thorough and extremely well organised and professional. It was very clear from the start that Saiyyidah is very experienced in what she does. The whole session was really informative. I absolutely loved the way Saiyyidah divided us up into pairs. I had not experienced breakout sessions virtually before (my background is event management). It was really interesting to not only take time to reflect on previous experiences during the training, but to also listen to other team members past experiences, which made you realise, you are not alone out there and that people are human and that there other people who experience similar things from you. Amazing training – I can highly recommend it!!!”
