Testimonials & Success Stories

Shezad approached us as a private members club for scaling founders and investors based in London, to curate a panel and discussion around Overcoming Obstacles as an Entrepreneur:Breaking Barriers for Inclusion, which I had the pleasure of moderating the conversation together with Shezad as keynote and two fantastic speakers delving into how inclusive the entrepreneurial community is and practical tips as to how business can improve their DE&l strategies. From initial contact with Shezad to delivery and staying in touch post-event, it has been a pleasure working with him. The feedback from the audience, which was a mix of both members and some external guests, many of whom founders themselves with a disability, was very positive and Shezad's love for speaking, educating and sharing his experience as both as a founder and investor as well as passion for entrepreneurship was truly evident. I hope to be able to work with Shezad on furture projects

Shezad was our Keynote speaker at our BMet College Higher Education and Business Awards Graduation. His presentation and Keynote was absolutely inspiring, delivered with such authenticity, passion and humour too: a brilliant Key Note for our students, staff, business community. Shezad was incredibly easy to work with taking our brief and requirements and delivering absolutely on the button. I hope this is the start of more work together.

Shezad shared an impactful presentation during the trade evening following our main Disability Expo event. He not only shared his insightful personal experiences but also showcased his expertise in consultancy work within the realm of disability. His lived experience brought a unique and invaluable perspective to the event, making him a perfect fit for our audience. Shezad's ability to connect with everyone in the audience was evident, creating a meaningful and engaging experience for all. I highly recommend Shezad for his exceptional contributions and genuine connection with diverse audiences.

I had the pleasure of hearing Shezad speak and present at a Kaleidoscope Investments event recently. Shezad gave a passionate and informed speech, and he is clearly an inspirational speaker.Not only did I achieve a greater understanding of the diverse abilities of disabled entrepreneurs, but I was also impressed by his professional experience. I would recommend Shezad to anyone organising a general business event and in particular a disabled business forum

Shezad was keynotespeaker at the Launch, encouraging and role modelling for business development. The response from attendees was overwhelmingly positive.
