In this thought-provoking episode of The Handshake, we are joined by Dr. Abraham Khoureis, a LinkedIn Leadership Top Voice, a member of the Forbes Coaches Council and Newsweek Leadership Forum, a pioneer in compassionate leadership and Organiser and Moderator of the Virtual Global Thought Leader Symposium. Dr. Khoureis has transformed the landscape of leadership with his Compassionate Leadership Model Pyramid, a framework that emphasizes empathy, mindfulness, and a commitment to the well-being of those being led. His innovative Disability Higher Education Learning Model has empowered neurodivergent and disabled students to excel in higher education and thrive in the workforce.
Dr. Khoureis wears many hats: adjunct professor at the university of Redlands where he teaches the MBA programme, SAG-AFTRA Hollywood agent, small business owner, and global thought leader. Drawing on these diverse experiences, he shares insights into building trust, fostering connection, and leading inclusively in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world.
This episode delves into the essence of compassionate leadership, its role in creating inclusive workplaces, and the importance of emotional intelligence in avoiding leadership pitfalls. Dr. Khoureis also explores the future of leadership in the age of AI, offering practical advice on how leaders can balance innovation with humanity.
Tune in to learn how the handshake—a symbol of trust and mutual respect—can transform leadership practices and foster environments where everyone, including neurodiverse individuals, can achieve their full potential.
