Performance Consultant

This energetic facilitator is a performance specialist with an extensive background in Leadership and Management Development. She qualified as a Physicist from the American University in Cairo but changed her career focus to Training and Human Resources in 1992. She holds a Graduate Diploma in Managerial leadership from the US and a Master?s Degree in Training & Performance Management from the UK.

For more than 12 years, she has been working in the Middle East with various educational, governmental and not-for-profit organizations including the United Nations system where she was managing a special project overseeing all aspects of training and human resources on behalf of donor agencies. She has extensive experience with the private, public and not-for-profit sectors as both an internal and an external consultant and has been involved in a multitude of projects ? including training, performance improvement, organizational audits, and HR-related projects such as competency systems.

As a trainer, this lady has delivered more than 2,000 hours of adult training and has planned, designed, and implemented numerous training programs at all levels. While Leadership and Managerial Skills are her primary areas of expertise, she has also developed, designed and delivered programs in other areas of focus including business writing, interpersonal skills, intercultural communication, strategic planning, and managerial communication to name but a few. A firm believer in the principles of human performance improvement, she endeavors to create and deliver high-impact training programs utilizing established principles of adult and participative learning to address the needs of the participants in an experiential manner. At the same time, the training ensures the maximum transfer of knowledge and learning and maximizes the clients? return on investment.

As a performance consultant, her approach focuses on business and bottom-line results rather than isolated or fragmented solutions that may, or may not, improve organizational performance. Once again relying on the principles of human performance improvement, she begins all her projects with an analysis of the business needs and the current organizational performance levels. In that manner, all interventions and solutions implemented on behalf of the client can be linked to business goals and guaranteed to impact the overall bottom-line.

Born in Saudi Arabia to a multi-cultural family, this facilitators background has enabled her to fuse Western theories and best-practice principles with her knowledge of the GCC and Arab cultures to create solutions (whether training programs or consultancy interventions) that are both effective and culturally viable.
