About the Host
Hesham Elansari is a Learning and Development trainer, coach and filmmaker and an award-winning public speaker who believes that the most powerful tool in any organization is a human being who has stopped "performing" and started leading. With over 15 years navigating the high-pressure landscapes like Amazon, Ford, and Nissan, Hesham has seen firsthand that the ultimate goal of training and coaching is the behavioral change.
He doesn’t follow the standard corporate script. Instead, Hesham blends the power of coaching, storytelling and world-class corporate training to create environments where people feel safe enough to speak about their real challenges. He observes with the eye of a photographer to help participants see their situations from a completely different perspective, asking the hard questions that allow them to discover their own answers.
