Shaheen Hajira

Shaheen is an inclusive learning consultant, facilitator, and founder of Ta’leem Consulting. With over 13 years of experience across higher education, corporate L&D, and the social impact sector, she has trained facilitators, designed capability programs, and developed the Inclusive Learning Framework, which is now used to upskill trainers and teams in neurodivergence, multicultural communities, and inclusive design.

Shaheen is regularly invited to speak on topics including:

* How neurodivergence shows up in organisations
* Designing neuroinclusive strategies in the workplace
* Inclusive facilitation to engage more people
* Working with multicultural communities
* The basic principles of inclusive design

She regularly speaks at conferences, facilitates community engagement workshops, and trains L&D and HR teams in inclusive learning, with a consistent focus on one key question: How can organisations increase engagement and participation in workshops and training rooms?

Outside the training room, Shaheen spent several years as part of an improv theatre house team—an experience that proved surprisingly valuable for developing her ability to read a room, engage diverse audiences, and hold space, both on stage and in the workshop environment.
