My experience in behavioral training spans leadership development, managerial coaching, and organizational culture-building. As the founder of Zehaava, I have designed and facilitated behavior-focused training programs that integrate psychological principles with practical leadership skills. I currently lead the 11-week Enhancing Holistic Productivity Program for senior leaders at The World Bank, focusing on role clarity, prioritization, behavioral change, and mindset shifts. My sessions emphasize experiential learning (80% activities, 20% theory) to drive practical application. With an MSc in Clinical Psychology, I incorporate cognitive and behavioral insights into training, covering performance management, delegation, decision-making, and motivation strategies. My approach ensures managers develop self-awareness, provide effective feedback, and drive high performance. I have developed structured facilitator guides and interactive presentations, ensuring content is engaging, activity-driven, and results-oriented. My expertise extends to coaching leaders, fostering accountability, and embedding behavioral change in organizations. As a solo entrepreneur managing multiple businesses, I bring real-world insights into leadership, productivity, and resilience. My passion lies in designing high-impact behavioral training programs that empower professionals to lead with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
