What people say about Zaheen’s keynotes and resilience leadership training.

"Zaheen was well received and made our event a huge success. This success can be attributed to her diligent preparations, involving connecting with a sample set of our lawyers in advance of the event. Zaheen was able to incorporate our legal language and scenarios into her talk, which allowed her to connect with and engage the group throughout the entire session... I would highly recommend her for professional audiences looking for simple but highly effective tools to assist in times of change."

Meet Zaheen:

Resilience isn’t an inherent trait - it’s an earned one.

I jumped one grade as a precocious child, and so developed a stutter by the age of seven. I grew up with it, travelled alone at fifteen from Kenya to Canada with it, tried keeping it secret through university by dodging class activities that would reveal my repetitive sounds, drawn out syllables, and pained silences.

Avoidance IS the best way to never move forward.

But failing college wasn’t an option, so I did inevitably get speech therapy. I just didn’t improve because nothing changes when we passively wait for problems to fix themselves.

It was a therapist that presented me with the only two choices we ever really have: Stay where you are in life. Or use the resources you’ve been given to face your fear...and practice doing life differently.

I practiced asking strangers the time even if I knew it.

I practiced ordering food with my broken words - not by pointing at the menu.

Implementation is the enemy of stagnation.
They’re problems that live in the mind.

When we’re stalling from overwhelm at our jobs. Prolonging issues like weight gain or burnout by resisting change. Repeating our relationship mistakes as we avoid the real issue with ourselves.

Resiliency isn’t the endgame that forever ends our challenges. Resiliency is the practice of courageously working our way through them. This is how we master our life. This is how we thrive.

And though I haven’t always been prepared for what I’ve had to face:
  • ‍The gut churning lessons of running my own business, brick and mortar or online.
  • Postpartum depression.
  • The moment my hair fell out in my hands hours before giving a speech, even though I knew the side effects of chemo.
I’m stronger for these experiences. Resiliency is a practice - the practice of handling change in the workplace and in your own life by acknowledging your fears... and deciding to move forward anyway. Resiliency is about adapting and being flexible in the process.

Let me help you build resilience in the workplace and in life. I’m also passionate about building resilience in children, and if you’re an educator or a parent association, I’d love to connect with you!

Attract Your Ideal Weight: 8 Secrets of People Who Lose Weight and Keep it Off

Winner of 2015 Global Ebook Awards
for Bronze Medal
“If you want to learn how to work with your body and change your mental programming to make weight loss and weight maintenance much easier, read Zaheen's book. The golden nuggets of information she has shared is food for thought that will definitely help you reach your ideal weight!”
~ Mache Seibel, MD - Editor - My Menopause Magazine
“I rarely eat past being full and I avoid foods that make me feel weighed down or bloated. That’s not to say I don’t have days where I eat terribly, but instead of feeling like a failure, I pick myself up and get back to my healthy lifestyle. I don’t let minor setbacks ruin everything. As someone who has been following these guidelines somewhat subconsciously, it was educational to see it written down on paper in an easy to digest format. This will help me as a practitioner be better able to educate others on following these same principles.

So, if you are about to buy another diet book, please don’t. Have a read through these 8 secrets to keep the weight off for good.”

Resilience Reflex: 8 Keys to Transforming Barriers into Success in Life and Business

Winner of 2016 Global Ebook Awards Bronze Medal for Non-Fiction in Inspirational / Visionary
“THE RESILIENCE REFLEX: 8 KEYS TO TRANSFORMING BARRIERS INTO SUCCESS IN LIFE AN BUSINESS by Zaheen Nanji is an excellent book for anyone who wants to make real and positive change in life.

Inside, I was drawn in immediately. I was already on a journey with the author, and she wrote to me like a girlfriend to girlfriend style, although of course, men can benefit from this book as well. The chapters are laid out well and the way the learning portion of the material is presented, the reader won't be overwhelmed with doing too much at one time or find it's too difficult to handle all the suggestions.

Everything is practical and possible. One of my favorite chapters is on beliefs. Overall, a very helpful book.”
~ Judge - Writer’s Digest 24th Annual Self-Published Book Awards
“This book is helping me through a stressful time in my life, by providing me with the tools that I need to build up and improve my own resilience, and work through the struggles that I am facing, so that I don’t end up stuck in a rut. It is very easy to get caught up in the downward spiral of self pity and it takes a change in mindset to move forward. Zaheen doesn’t just tell you what you need to do to build more resilience – she shows you how in The Resilience Reflex.

Her own struggles and stories are woven throughout and they allowed me to feel a deep connection and develop a better understanding of how to work through life’s setbacks. The applications and lessons in this book can apply to your personal life as well as your professional life.”

I had the pleasure of taking one of Zaheen's Law of Attraction courses and was very impressed by her knowledge of the subject and her excellence in the delivery of the material. But most of all, I found that she was able to engage her audience in a way that made it seem like she was speaking directly to each individual. Zaheen has great presence at the front of the room and her easy personality is perfect for the material she teaches. If you have an opportunity to attend one of her courses, you won't be disappointed.

Zaheen is an absolutely remarkable and authentic speaker. Her warm, charming and interactive style coupled with her knowledge on behaviour change and motivation kept the audience wanting more! Zaheen spoke at a women's event that I helped organize and every attendee was inspired and gained multiple tools to unlock the power within.

"she made a difference"

~Garnet Roth
Elks of Canada

Our organization is going through a reflective period in which change is part of the process. Zaheen captured the meaning of change and the opportunities it can bring. An example of the impact her words had on our members was the use of her catch phrases later. A number of delegates quoted Zaheen, demonstrating the success of her presentation. She made a difference.

"helped them to create their own story"

~Danisha Bhaloo-Shivji
BGCBigs Development & Comms Manager

We hired Zaheen this summer (2019) to facilitate a two part Speaker's Bureau Workshop for 15 of our staff, providing them with tools to go out in the community and champion the work that we do. She helped them to create their own story, share it effectively with others through public speaking, and provide feedback for each of our staff. Since the workshops, we've had a number of our staff out in the community speaking on behalf of our children and families to funders, corporate donors and individuals. ALL of them feel comfortable and provided excellent testimonials and appreciation to Zaheen for helping them get out of their comfort zone and into a new level of development!

You were very easy to deal with. Pleasant manner, tone of voice and easy to speak to.  You kind of have the voice and demeanor that make people "want" to talk with you. Once people know your story, they want to talk to you more, perhaps to grab a bit of your strength and positive attitude in their own lives.  I find you to have a caring way about you. Concerned for others and how you can help them be better at being them.
