“Caring for our loved ones is both the deepest privilege and the hardest work imaginable. Find joy in those small moments, knowing you are doing the best you can.” – Zafira

I highly recommend Zafira as a manager and HR professional. During my time as a HR assistant under her leadership, Zafira’s infectious passion for HR and talent for streamlining processes made a significant impact. Her leadership and dedication to optimizing workflow not only inspired the team but also fostered a positive work environment. Zafira’s ability to identify and address inefficiencies with innovative solutions demonstrates her exceptional skills as a manager. It was a privilege to work alongside her, and I have no doubt she will continue to excel in her future endeavours.

Having worked with Zafira for over 5 years now, I can honestly say that every discussion has been a delight. She is a natural and empathetic leader, exceptional collaborator, and people-focused professional. Zafira is the perfect balance of driving towards success in achieving the organization’s goals and getting the best out of people through active and caring listening, and supporting them where they are at.

Zafira is very a knowledgeable Human Resources professional with a passion for helping people. She was an indispensable resource when it came to just about any HR question/issue/problem, and I knew I could always go to her to get expert level advice and information. As a manager, in addition to providing technical knowledge and advice, she was always available to discuss any concerns I had with regards to my work and performance. Zafira would also make sure to involve me in projects and include me in training that would allow me to advance my own HR skills and experience. I’ll also note that during the (currently ongoing) Covid situation, she was very understanding and thoughtful with checking-in on my mental/physical health, stress levels, workload, etc. on a regular basis, and finding ways to help me manage everything.

Zafira has a special ‘touch’ that resonates long after sharing with her. Indeed, it is her exquisite demeanor of compassionate care that leaves such a lasting impression. It was during my time at eBay Inc., I had the opportunity to spend time with Zafira as she supported me with such kindness. She carefully met me at my level and capacity to understand, guided and ensured that all was well! I was so very grateful to her for expressing genuine concern.
Zafira’s authenticity, dynamic creativity, optimistic views and sincere contributions endear her to all blessed with her friendship. She is that rare gem of a person whose honesty and humanity has a reach far greater then she may ever know.

I invited Zafira to consult on HR practices for a 3000 member volunteer organization steeped with history and tradition. She designed an excellent discovery process, which in it self exceeded my expectation, but beyond that, she was able to recruit, motivate and coach a team of professionals yielding insights and recommendations that have had significant impact on our organization.

Zafira provided an excellent professional mentorship to some of my clients who were seeking employment in Human Resources field. She was patient, inspiring and challenging at the same time. She coached and counselled people by both supporting and stretching them. The best way of teaching them was her own role modeling style. Zafira approaches things in a non-judgemental, intuitive and responsible manner. I would be happy to work with Zafira on any other project and will gladly recommend her mentorship to anyone who needs a caring, experienced and supportive mentor and advisor. She is passionate about helping and improving people, she is a true expert in the field of human development.
