I started my career in business analytics, management, and sales operations, before moving into strategic business development consulting at a domestic and international level. In 2005 I was awarded the title of ambassador of Peace from the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace; we helped families from various sects and faiths who were facing hardships during wartime in their home countries.<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We traveled to Jerusalem, Jordan, and other regions to extend a helping hand. In January of 2014, I joined academia and have taught courses in business, decision-making, sales and marketing management, Organizational behavior, global business operations, strategic mindset, and more at both graduate and undergraduate levels. I\u2019m also a published researcher and advisor to dozens of students each year, and, to top it off, I own a dry-cleaning business.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1562868577192{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]I started thinking about opening a coaching business because of my passion for helping people, connecting with students, helping them start their careers, and seeing their \u2018ah hah\u2019 moment. I realized I wanted to do more of that outside of the educational setting. Opening The Growth Coach allows me to put my experience in corporate America and as a business owner, my education, and my passion for working for small businesses right here in my community. I know what it\u2019s like to start a business from scratch and build it from the ground up, especially during challenging times. I know how overwhelming and stressful it can be \u2013 I\u2019ve lived it too.<\/p>\n<p>On an international level, The Growth Coach is the most significant affordable group coaching, training, and workshops provider. I offer group and one-on-one coaching for business owners, sales professionals, managers, management teams, self-employed professionals, and more through The Growth Coach\u2019s three-series approach \u2013 the Foundation Series, Fundamental Series, and Fast Forward Series.<\/p>\n<p>I live in Easton with my wife, Nazek, and our two children, Omar and Sarah. I have a BA in Biology, MBA in Global Management, a DBA in International Business, and an MS and Advanced Certificate in Pharmaceutical Technology and Pharmaceutical Technology Management. As a Growth Coach, I am certified in The Strategic Mindset coaching process, which adheres to the standards, practices, and policies that the International Coaching Federation has outlined in their Code of Professional Standards and Ethics. The Growth Coach\u2019s landmark Strategic Mindset Process\u00a9 is so effective that it comes with a money-back guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>I work with clients in Allentown, Easton, Bethlehem, Phillipsburg, Clinton, Somerville, Bridgewater, and the surrounding areas.
