"It went perfectly. Thank you so much to your team and Haddy for this quick turnaround and great delivery. Haddy was so engaging and really knowledgeable. Looking forward to working with you in the future!" - Samiksha, Kalla Group
"Haddy was fab! A really lovely woman and she definitely flowed a little better after the first event was under her belt... nothing uncommon" - Linsey, Commercial Events Manager, Nottinghamshire Awards
"The interview is more than we asked for and beyond our expectations... My team is over the moon... It's superbly done. You are gifted. We are more than impressed. The entire team says Asante Sana" - United Nations Economic Commission for Africa
"Haddy, you were AMAZING this morning! I couldn't be more proud of you and how you represented DMU alumni. Thank you for supporting this event and sharing your insights, it was great to see you in action and hear about your experiences" - De Montford University Alumni Engagement Officer
"Haddy, you were inspiring in our workshop on the importance of networks, and I loved the two key point on connection and challenge" - The Associate Dean of De Montford University
"Haddy spoke with passion about her upbringing, experiences of growing up in the UK, and how she has found and used her own voice to advocate for change in the world. She was extremely adept at providing practical examples from her own career to date, and tailoring those to make them relevant for a network (this one – Cultural Inclusion Network, as well as the other three networks invited: LGBT+, Disability and Carers, Gender) needing to grow, keep momentum going, and affect change in the business (CityFibre). The question and answer session was revealing too, with Haddy able to engage at pace effectively with a new audience. She is clearly a change leader, and that came across in her presentation and Q&A session. On a personal level I very much want to thank her, both on behalf of the other network organisers and also the audience in the room, for inspiring us to be the change makers we need to become if we want to see tangible improvements. I look forward to seeing how she progresses with her external-facing diversity and inclusion work too." - Bea, City Fibre Management
