Zafira Nanji Scott
Speaker • Facilitator • Systems Thinker
Speaker Profile
A provincially recognized speaker and leader in the spaces of advocacy, intentional inclusion and leadership, I speak and facilitate well because I know how to hold a room and move a conversation forward. Whether I’m leading strategy sessions, moderating panels, or guiding stakeholder dialogue, I bring clarity, structure, and measurable outcomes. I manage time without rushing, adapt to the dynamics in the room, and ensure that key messages are heard — especially when navigating complex or high-stakes topics.
My approach is pragmatic and deliberate. I focus on what needs to be said, what needs to be decided, and how to get there effectively. This is not about performance — I'm about getting results, staying aligned with values, and moving conversations to resolution.
