Coach Hamsah
@coachhamsah
Learning & Development leader at Bringing Out the Gems in You, translating positive psychology into Arabic-language programmes.
What I'm looking for
At Bringing Out the Gems in You, I build and run an independent training practice, from identifying learning needs and designing curricula to facilitating programmes and evaluating outcomes. I translate positive psychology research into culturally grounded wellbeing and soft-skills programmes for Arabic-speaking audiences.
At Pioneers Training Academy, I delivered a strengths-based employee development project for 120 employees, using the VIA Character Strengths framework in group sessions and experiential activities. At Qiblah Center for Counseling & MentalHealth, I provided one-to-one wellbeing coaching and structured group sessions.
Earlier, I led Alliance Inc.’s training research and development function, managing a team of four and developing programmes for client organizations. I also taught marketing subjects at Applied Science Private University and Petra University, and my published work includes a guide to positive psychological interventions for the MENA region.
