Curious about what led me here?
Here’s my story...
At the start of my career in the IT industry, I witnessed how poor communication can hinder team performance, problem resolution and morale.
As a corporate employee, I saw firsthand the impact of communication skills on organizational success.
There was a time when I too struggled with business and technical conversations
Feeling long-winded, unclear, and all over the place. Trying to explain a complex situation was a nightmare.
Until one understanding boss once told me,
“Omar, think through what you want to say first…”
That sentence sparked a journey that I’ve been on up to the present. I knew I had to improve my communication skills if I wanted to progress in my career.
I had (and still have) a tendency to observe people.
I focused on how people communicated, discerning what made conversations effective and where improvements were needed.
This extended to watching skilled speakers and analyzing movie dialogues. I also immersed myself in communication books seeking to grasp the principles of clear and impactful interactions.
Combining these insights, I refined my communication style, becoming more concise, articulate, and confident in both business and technical discussions.
The more I learned, the more I realized...
It was absolutely a skill that could be mastered with repeatable techniques that anyone could take advantage of.
2008
I transitioned from the corporate world and embarked on a journey to refine my skills as a trainer.
During this time, I meticulously distilled, demystified, and decoded all I had learned, developing my own proven strategies for effective communication.
It’s truly fascinating – with just a little tweaking, your words, phrasing, structure, and delivery can change the influence you create.
Today, I am dedicated to empowering individuals from diverse disciplines and backgrounds to become dynamic, impactful communicators.
It’s been a fulfilling journey and there’s more to come.
I am passionate about helping people communicate better because I believe that...
Every change starts with a conversation.
If we can communicate better, we can have richer conversations that lead to great ideas, meaningful change and strong relationships.
