"Rifa took us all through a number of amazing meditations and exercises that enabled us to positively reflect. It was such a wonderful experience – calm, relaxing, and positive. My team really appreciated the opportunity to work in this unique way. Rifa is brilliant, a highly experienced, effective, and inspirational facilitator."

"Rifa is one of those people that you can rely on - when you ask her to take the lead on the project, you know it will get done, and to a very high standard. She has a huge amount of experience, and a network to match, which means she often recognises and solves problems before you've even become aware of them."

"Rifa worked with me to support the development and career enhancement for a group of female creative producers, providing guided meditations to trigger aspirational thinking and self-reflection. I have also had the honour to work with Rifa in the recent delivery of the Talent2018 event in Brighton, she was an outstanding leader of this activity and put together a festival of activity to support the development of talent that was inclusive, inspiring and engaging.”

"What makes Rifa so remarkable is that she has the skill and the will to follow through and create change with this work. I've taken part in Rifa's workshops and guided meditations several times. She's inclusive, practical, and effective - an approachable, clever facilitator and I'd recommend working with her if you can."

"Rifa is a real leading champion in diversity and inclusion. She has opened up so many opportunities for me, I wouldn't be where I am today without her connections and mentoring. Her workshops are a source of my inspiration."

"Rifa continues to be an inspiring mentor for The Marlborough Theatre, she has spent the time getting under the skin of what we do and ask us those necessary hard questions that has made us reflect and refocus as an organisation (always for the better). She is passionate, thoughtful and super smart and we value her thoughts and opinions highly."

"Rifa spoke about the ideas behind meditation and mindfulness, and the benefits of bringing these principles to work with us. The short meditation she led was well-judged in style, content and length. The session got great feedback from the team."

"Thank you for all your help with moving Brighton Digital Festival forward. Your work gave us a structure, a space, and a vibe in which to think and debate, and some key examples and insights for us to consider. We would not have  arrived at a destination at all without you."

"Thank you so much for an incredible session on Wednesday evening. It could not have come at a better time for me! You’re a magician!"

"I found Rifa to be a warm, engaging and insightful panelist when I hosted an event on Brighton's technology scene."

"Rifa as a dynamic disruptor is the gold standard when it comes to leading the charge for women and expansion of the start-up ecosystem. These achievements signpost that much more of such innovation support work can bring growing diversity and fresh approaches to the start-up scene." 

"Rifa is such a calm, steady hand to help you through whatever challenge you might be facing. She does this in a practical, valuable way. The way Rifa works isn’t ‘airy-fairy’ or lightweight. It’s about gaining results that will seriously benefit you and your business needs. I can’t recommend her and her approach highly enough."

"Rifa makes things happen. Her reserves of drive, energy, and support are limitless and she's consistently able to make you consider a perspective you hadn't previously. It's impossible to collaborate with Rifa and not leave feeling that the world is full of more possibilities than you'd thought. She knows how to empower, encourage and enable."

"At the start of May 2020, I had an intensive 3-hour session with Rifa, at the time I had lost 95% of my work. 2 months later I have a new business, working with a fantastic team and great new clients."

"Rifa is an excellent facilitator, supportive and challenging as a coach and insightful. Our clients respect her opinion and trust her judgment. Her insight and experience in tackling systemic inequalities are helpful for our clients who feel braver about doing the work with Rifa's help. I appreciate becoming more aware of my own unconscious bias and cultural conditioning through our work together. Rifa is a powerful force for positive change."

"By doing the session together as a team and sharing our experiences, it helped to bond the company through a shared experience and collegial vibe. I would highly recommend Rifa's Refigure services to any digital business looking to build a positive culture for their teams."

"You helped shift a lot of stuff around that had been stressing me out on different levels... I'm definitely feeling more optimistic already so thank you. I loved the workshop!  You were an excellent teacher and guide."

"My three hour blast session with Rifa was really fun, intentional and powerful. I emerged with a renewed sense of self-value, clarity about the future I want to create, where to put my energy and what actions to take. Above all I was left with a lovely sense of effortless abundance – an ease and peace about achieving these future goals, with no sense of struggle or suffering to get there. The session switched me from reactive mode (feeling at the mercy of my circumstances) to a new creative mode - a practice of focussing on the good stuff - creating the year / the week / the day. This shift in focus has been really energising and brought new unexpected opportunities already. Thanks Rifa!"
