Testimonials

"We were pleased to feature Bhavik Shah during Mental Health Awareness Month, presenting on the essential topic of "How to Prevent Workplace Burnout." Bhavik's session was extremely valuable, seamlessly integrating inclusive practices and shedding light on how identity and privilege impact daily tasks, work prioritization, and the pressures individuals feel to excel, which can lead to burnout. His engaging and interactive session resonated with our team. I highly recommend Bhavik as a speaker and look forward to scheduling more of his insightful talks for our employees in the future."

"Mental Health & Well-being at Work: How to Prevent Workplace Burnout"

Ruth Grigsby, Global Diversity and Belonging Leader
Cohesity

"Our team worked with Bhavik to help develop a mental health program to best support our colleagues' health, especially as we all navigated the [Covid-19] pandemic. Bhavik's balanced, thoughtful approach helped our core project team implement cross-company tactics to address culture and team dynamics. Additionally, he understood how important DEIB was to our organization and workforce, and helped address the needs of our diverse workforce through manager and individual-focused training. He's a passionate leader driven to help organizations implement meaningful change."

"Bhavik has spoken at a number of our Wellbeing at Work Summits globally over recent years and his passion, knowledge and deep understanding of wellbeing and in particularly DE&I in the workplace is outstanding. His delivery style is natural and knowledgeable that creates an impact for all the clients that attend our Wellbeing Summits over the years. Bhavik's lived experience, combined with his empathetic leadership, brings an authenticity to his workshops. Bhavik is an absolute joy to work with and I look forward to collaborating with him again in the near future!"

"Bhavik's allyship session at Model N was enlightening and impactful. The session was not only engaging and informative but also provided practical insights and strategies that our employees found invaluable. Employees appreciated hearing that it is okay to make mistakes and that the journey towards being a better ally is ongoing. One participant shared, 'As someone who wants to be a better ally to my queer friends, there were a lot of key takeaways that can inspire future conversations. The feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive, with an impressive 4.94 out of 5 recommending this type of event to their colleagues. Thank you, Bhavik, for such a transformative experience."

"Amplifying the Voices of the LGBTQ+ Community"

René Moulinié, Director, Employee Experience and DEIB

"Bhavik's workshop was one of the highlights of our AAPI ERG all-team event. He understood not only the workplace environment, having worked in a similar industry, but also cultural expectations from Asian communities, the realities of navigating school and workplaces while having immigrant parents unable to help. By being vulnerable in sharing his past experiences, Bhavik was able to get each member to openly share and participate in our workshop, designed to respond to everyday workplace stressors. After our workshop, several participants told me that it was their favorite they'd ever attended because it brought the group closer and had real, tangible solutions for them in their everyday work."

"It was a true pleasure to work with Bhavik for several months on a project focused on launching OLLY's workplace mental health strategy. Bhavik clearly had a passion for the subject matter and was very attuned to our needs as a client. Bhavik was very collaborative and skillful as we together designed a training for our Leadership Team to champion our social mission effort. Bhavik facilitated a very successful day-long training where our Leadership Team actually didn't want to end and the conversation sparked a whole new day of ideas and energy to carry into the company! I truly hope our paths will cross again!”
