^“I worked closely with Shahzad for 7 years, when we both worked for the Behbehani Group. Shahzad was managing the trading division, while I was managing the automotive group. In addition to our working relationship, Shahzad and I became good friends and cooperated on several fronts during our tenure at Behbehani. Shahzad is a dynamic and result oriented manager. He is well organized and turned around a chaotic division into a well-oiled machine, in a short period of time. He had a clear vision for the future of his organization, and is encouraging when dealing with his staff. I recommend Shahzad for any management or marketing position he seeks.

^“I have known Shahzad for a few years, having volunteered together at CIMMO. Because of this relationship, I invited him to speak to two sections my class of marketing students in the Global Business Management Program at Humber. He was a sensible choice because of his marketing expertise and recent experiences immigrating to Canada - something most of my students are doing / considering. Shahzad consented without hesitation. He also sent me his presentation in advance and invited feedback to ensure my students gained maximum value. This is an important step many don't do. He was engaging and insightful in his time with my students. I received many notes of thanks and positive feedback from my students on how insightful and helpful his presentation was relative to their future plans. Shahzad authentically conveys enthusiasm for marketing, but also a passion for career development, as evidenced by his invitation to connect and network with students after the session. No hesitation to invite him to speak again. Read More ⟶ Larry Patrick ZolobLarry

^“Working with Anju was one of the most enlightening experiences in my life on the professional and personal level. She has such a friendly and influential character! Anju was extremely efficient and truly one of our greatest assets - that is how I will describe Anju in one line. Bringing her on to The Talk magazine was a unanimous decision between the publisher, senior editor, fashion & beauty editor. I was always in awe of her punctuality and steadfastness. Anju’s ability to multi-task and think outside the box are just some of the many talents she brings to the table. I have often relied on her quick tips and assistance at the last minute when stuck in a situation dealing with high-profile clients. Anju was always willing to offer support outside her scope of responsibilities for the benefit of the team and the magazine. There was never a ‘word’ missed and she made sure that the final approval was perfect before publication. Anju will be an asset to any team and to any organization. She has decided to pursue Teaching English as a Foreign Language and how befitting! Her command of the language and gentle yet committed nature will translate beautifully as a teacher to students of any age. I wish her the best of luck and I cannot wait to see her grow into her new role which I have no doubt she will. Anju has my highest recommendation. Read More ⟶ Micheline Al-Kazzi

^“I have known Anju Kakkar for more than a decade. she has a very affectionate, caring and friendly personality. Every interaction I have had with Anju has been a mutually productive one. I have had the pleasure of attending a few seminars with Anju and I looked forward to debating and discussing several points of interest with her during group sessions. Her outlook towards personal development, team building, and career reinvention and growth have been truly inspiring as Anju is not one to fear change. She handles herself professionally and has an empathetic approach towards others. Anju is extremely well-versed and well-spoken. In fact, we often spoke of co-authoring a book someday in our near future. I wish her all the best in whatever she undertakes. Read More ⟶ Crawford Wilson D'souza
