Alnoor facilitated a Personality Dimensions 2 days workshop for us in 2013. He did a marvelous job. We were newly appointed members of the Ismaili Council for the Prairies.He assisted in bringing together about 25 of us who didn't know one another well at the start of the weekend. By the end of the weekend, we became a close group.

I attended Alnoor's first LinkedIn Bootcamp and found it to be rich with information.

I had the opportunity to attend Alnoor's LinkedIn Boot Camp. While you may be Social Media and Technology savvy - there are details that you may not know and especially the impacts the little details may have on your profile. Alnoor's Seminar was very informative and created quite a confidence in me that I I think it would be very beneficial for my network, our firm's clientele and our team of associates we work with, therefore I will certainly recommend him to all who I know. For those you I may not know you ... I highly recommend Alnoor's LinkedIn Bootcamp seminar if you are considering to attend.

We asked Alnoor to facilitate a staff development for us on Business Communications. Alnoor’s background in career coaching was a good fit for us, as he knew how to apply the principles of communication directly in our work. Our afternoon was engaging, informative and thought provoking. The format of the workshop included visuals, teamwork and discussions, never a dull moment when Alnoor is around! He is a great speaker, trainer, and coach and we enjoyed spending an afternoon with him. –McBride Career Group

Alnoor brought his passion for career development, his fun loving nature, and his inspirational words with him to the Fantasyland Hotel in Edmonton, AB on May 3 & 4, 2017 for the Career Development Association of Alberta's fourth annual Alberta Career Development Conference. In his role as conference emcee he engaged the audience of almost 300 delegates with his sense of humour and his calls to action. He was incredibly easy to work with and was willing to step up and offer a helping hand throughout the conference. Alnoor's public speaking and presentation skills were exactly what we were looking for in an emcee and his presence added so much to our event!

Alnoor truly is a LinkedIn expert as well as an engaging facilitator. I contracted him to deliver a conference session related to job search savvy, and his content and ability exceeded my expectations. Participants garnered clever insights and heard practical examples of what works well for personal branding, as it relates to marketing themselves for employment in a difficult economy. It was clear that participants felt they received great value from Alnoor's session and his supplemental handout of top tips for using LinkedIn effectively!

A few weeks ago I attended a LinkedIn workshop hosted and facilitated by Alnoor. First, let my say "thank you", for the generous and enthusiastic way you coached and challenged each person to promote their unique brand with FEARLESSNESS and BOLDNESS! Alnoor absolutely embodies his name (which literally means light). His presentation style is contagious, energetic fun combined with nuggets of sheer "out of the box" creativity, intuitive inspiration and user-friendly instruction! If you are looking for an engaging facilitator who brings it all with information and a dynamite personality, I highly recommend Alnoor.

Alnoor was the facilitator in a Linked In session I attended thru MNP recently. I found his topic very enlightening and his presentation skills top notch! He combined personal experience and real life examples of the power of LinkedIn that I wasn’t aware of until I attended his session. I definitely need LinkedIn to build my business and to give it that professional touch. Thank you Alnoor.

I've had the pleasure and good fortune to work with Alnoor in a few different capacities. He was a fellow colleague in Career Planning and Coaching, and he ran a Personality Dimensions workshop for the team I work with at Pacekids Programs. We were looking for new way to connect the team across programs, and The Personality Dimensions workshop was exactly what the team needed. We found the workshop provided practical and immediate tools to help us better connect, and Alnoor made the session extra fun! You will never meet a more genuine person who is professional, engaging, and committed to helping people be their best. If you are considering working with Alnoor in any capacity, it is the best thing you can do for yourself, your team and your company!

I have had the pleasure of getting to know Alnoor over the past few years as a colleague and friend. Not only does he have expertise in contemporary job search techniques and strategies, he also has an infectious enthusiasm that helps keep you focused on your goals. I have also had the privilege of seeing Alnoor speak at conferences and deliver workshops. He keeps his audience both rapt and involved in the material, instead of dryly lecturing which is a skill that is in much demand, yet in short supply these days. I recommend him highly.

Alnoor presented a workshop at CPHR Alberta's 2019 HR Undefined Conference. I found the session to be engaging and very informative. He was the catalyst to me starting to use the video feature of Linked In more regularly by encouraging me to get out of my comfort zone and create a video during the session. Alnoor communicates the information in his sessions in an energetic, positive way that keeps you wanting to learn more and participate. It was one of the best sessions that I attended during the conference. Thanks Alnoor!

I attended Alnoor's session on "Personality Dimensions and Leadership— Understanding Self and Your Team to Manage Conflict and Communicate Effectively" at APEGA's Professional Development day during AGM 2018. Alnoor was an excellent presenter who -- in a relatively short course -- established his credibility as knowledgeable in the topic and provided tools to the participants to succeed in their inter-personal interactions. I found Alnoor's session useful for self reflection and becoming mindful of one's relation with others. Alnoor’s presentation style makes his session fun, engaged and enlightening.
