What if the labels that haunt us during our formative years can actually become badges of honor?
Ahmen takes you on his journey from stumbling into Trouble in classrooms and boardrooms to discovering how Troublemaking is a force for good.
When you gaze at the infinite possibility of the stars, what do you envision for yourself and loved ones?
Go on a ride with Ahmen to reimagine the idea of a moonshot, and to tap into your own rocket fuel.
Based on Ahmen’s TED-Ed talk, he will pull back the curtain on the game changing leadership of young people.
Discover their powerful blueprint for change and how we can maximize the impact of young leaders in all forms of organizations.
Even after a dramatic rise in awareness around issues of equity, most organizations are struggling to go beyond public statements of support.
Ahmen will share a tactical roadmap to turn equity into a verb and embark on a journey of affirmation and growth.
Too many leaders are stuck in a broken paradigm, assuming that you must choose wellbeing or impact when developing workforces.
As a CEO, Ahmen discovered that you can – and must – harmonize wellbeing and impact, and this talk will offer some of his secrets.
In the age of cancel culture and clap backs in 280 characters or less, it is easier to burn bridges rather than build them.
Ahmen paints the picture of adversarial, painful moments that nearly led him into the abyss, and how he ultimately sought to live and breathe the mantra made famous by Michelle Obama.
Ambition. Aggression. Alpha Male. For generations, men have been taught to show up in a manner that exacerbated stereotypes.
When left unchecked, that conditioning is actually ineffective and could harm the people we care about. Ahmen shares his story of confronting and challenging those stereotypes, as a parent and a CEO.
