I am committed to serving organizations and individuals who aspire to have a substantial positive impact in the world. I serve as a coach to executives, entrepreneurs and emerging leaders, facilitate workshops and organizational trainings, and speak at events around the world.
My methodology draws on Contemplative Science, which blends Eastern wisdom and contemplative practice with modern neuroscience and psychology.
I have been a student of the Eastern contemplative traditions for 20 years, and have pursued further training in contemplative neuroscience and psychology at the Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science in NY. I received my MA in Social Anthropology at The School of Oriental and African Studies, London and my BA in Marketing & Advertising at the London School of Communications.
I have trained and coached an array of humans, ranging from young start-up founders to heads of state, executives and world-renown economists to business leaders. My organizational workshops and keynotes have allowed me to train staff, managers and executives at companies such as SAP, Hyundai, Porsche, Lufthansa, Chief Executives Organization, Bauer Media Company as well as numerous companies in luxury hospitality.
I have given talks and keynotes at Harvard Business School Club, the Feast Conference, Social Media Week NY, World Happiness Summit, Northside Music and Innovation Festival, Innovation Club NY, L'Echappée Volée Paris, Les Napoleons, Sustainable Brands, Masters and Robots, World Youth Forum and more.
Prior to founding Neural Beings, I worked for European media agencies, producing macro-economic country reports for Forbes, the Washington Post and The Times of London. I lived and work in Croatia, Botswana, Indonesia and the UAE, interviewing senior political and business leaders, gaining insight into their mindsets as well as their potential for positive impact. I am Iranian-German and am currently based in Hamburg, Germany.
My work is dedicated to the upside of human potential.
