From the classroom to the main stage
Iyad began as a high-school teacher, learning that the best lessons are stories people can see themselves in. After a viral talk at a local event, invitations started arriving from schools, companies and conferences.
Today Iyad speaks to more than 50 audiences a year, writes books on courage and leadership, and coaches professionals to tell their own stories with confidence.
“Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s deciding that something else matters more.”
