I had the pleasure of working with EDG during my time at the Telegraph Media Group. I found Shazia to be a great relationship manager with a wealth of experience in her field. A pleasure to work would highly recommend.
Shazia was a great speaker. We had good attendance and engagement. The feedback we have received has been that the people found her talk informative and has helped them feel less alone with their own struggles. Other comments include that she was a brilliant speaker that people could relate to. We also had this comment: ‘It enabled me to bring recent research to life through Shazia’s lived experience. I am currently working on a presentation in relation to a CMDA and there were some valuable takeaway concepts from today’s meeting. It also provided a safe space for self-reflection having encountered similar traits over recent years, to know I’m not alone in brain fog and poor verbal articulation is reassuring’.
