RECOMMENDATION
Nahla presented the keynote at our Group 'Away Day’. The theme of the day was ‘connections’ and the aim was to set a kind and progressive Group culture. Nahla was brilliant from start to finish. Before the event Nahla asked how I wanted the Group to feel, which really made me think what I wanted to achieve from the talk. I said 'connected and able to rely on each other’, and I have to say that Nahla’s presentation did just that, highlighting the importance of connection, however, it did so much more, convincing us that kindness works for business and inspiring us to be more resilient, kinder human beings. The overall experience was an absolute joy and I am certain the benefits will continue, and multiply, long after.

RECOMMENDATION
‘Nahla personifies the mission of kindness that she is so committed to. From our pre-chat prior to recording she was extremely considerate to ensure her messaging, stories and content would suit our aims. Upon meeting Nahla, she was easy going and an absolute natural when she got into the podcast seat. The conversation with Gail for the Switched on Podcast is all about changing behaviour and mindset across BT and beyond, and this episode is going to have a huge impact in helping our colleagues to understand why practicing kindness is important and how they can kick start their journey in doing so – we cannot wait for its release!’
