Mohammed. A. Khan – Founder Nueheights (Biotechnology Co), Former Global CTO for New Technology at Netcracker (NEC company). Over a 25yr career Mohammed has learned some key skills to help others as an educator, advisor, consultant, mentor, scientist and athletics coach – trained some of the world’s elite athletes. Mohammed’s goal in life was not to have a “proper” job until he was thirty years old, Hence from 16-29 and 7 months, he played football, university , military and charity work. At 29 yrs. 7 months Mohammed walked into BT Research Labs(the first researcher ever without an under graduate degree in science), from there he joined Cisco, Sr Dir at Tellabs and finally CTO at Netcracker. In 2017 Mohammed had an epiphany moment and set up Nueheights (Biotech), since then he has delivered workshops globally around his unique process to make nutrients better absorbed. He is a board member at Medical Kiwi(medicinal Cannabis New Zealand), Medicaleaf UK(Medicinal Cannabis), Advisor to Sibelius (Oxford University), NASA and DoD US, Premier league football teams and individual players, editorial expert for The British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT). “Resilience is a learned skill and perfected during adversity,” Mohammed suffered huge disappointment with the UK military, which didn’t have a place for an ethnic, he also suffered racism playing football. However, Mohammed believes this made the person he is now - very focused and driven. For years Mohammed was constantly told” you cannot do this, you’re not qualified to do that.” However, he took no. notice of it and once you get over one hurdle there’s a blue print to work by. Having left school at 16 with one O Level, Mohammed received his BA(Business Studies Erasmus) 1994, MSc 1998( Telecommunications Aston University) . Currently studying a Biochemistry PhD(Birmingham). Outside of work he worked closely with the Global Scouting Association as the Chair of the Muslim Scouts Fellowship, under his tenure scouting became acceptable for Muslims in the UK. Mohammed has been Involved in UK Athletics as a coach and mentor. We are asked “what advice can the older me give the younger me?” Maybe, just maybe it could be reciprocal, the younger me wound say to me now“ lives a risk, crack-on, get it done!” It was this advice that set-up Nueheights. The Why? for Mohammed is really simple, everything we do is for a greater good, hence by helping others you help yourself. Nueheights was established to leave a legacy for others to prosper from.  Top Tip Hard work, honesty and copious amounts of compassion. And never give the reigns of leadership to someone who states they want it, give it to the one who doesn’t want to be a leader – they make great leaders.  Hosted on Acast.

Chris Moon helps people and organisations around the world grow and improve personal and team performance. He’s been a keynote speaker and run change and leadership programs for over twenty years working with the public and private sector and international business schools. He’s one of the most fortunate people to be alive you’re likely to meet. His exploits have been covered in a Discovery documentary I Shouldn’t Be Alive. Chris is a former British Army Officer with three year’s operational experience who left to work for a charity clearing landmines. He’s survived being taken prisoner in Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge (one of the most brutal terror groups in history) and negotiated his release and that of two colleagues from threatened execution. In 1995 he was blown up in a supposedly safe area of a minefield in remote East Africa losing an arm and a leg (ironically doing one of the least dangerous things he did). He survived initially because he treated himself. About fourteen hours after injury he arrived in South Africa where doctors say they’d never seen anyone live with such a small amount of blood. He recovered four times faster than expected and in 1996; within a year of leaving hospital ran the London Marathon, raised significant sums to help disabled people in the developing world and successfully completed a full time Master’s-Degree in human behaviour. Chris taught himself to run and is thought to be the world’s first amputee ultra-distance runner after completing the Marathon De Sables in 1997. He’s run the world’s toughest ultra-marathons and most recently the Badwater Death Valley 135 mile ultra. He’s led numerous teams to complete rigorous challenges ranging from climbing mountains to cycling the length of Cambodia.  Chris has a passion for the process of achievement and uses his unique experiences to help people do what they do better. He speaks with enthusiasm and humour on resilience, change, personal and strategic leadership and all aspects of behavioural choices. His interactive presentations and workshops are tailored to deliver desired outcomes and actions.  #InspiringLeadership #leadership #CEO #MotivationalSpeaker #teamcoach #InclusiveLeadership #Boards  Hosted on Acast.

Graeme Newell is a behavioral finance speaker and brain science researcher. He takes twisted pleasure in putting business leaders, employees and customers inside of brain scanners then mapping the parts of their brain that light up as they make money decisions. He is an expert in how our subconscious brain tempts us to misstep. He shows business leaders the situations when they’re most vulnerable to impulsive decision making.  Graeme began is career as a television producer, working with companies like CNN, CNBC and CBS News. This is what led to his habit of creating an incessant stream of online videos. He produces about 100 videos each year. In his spare time, he mentors online content creators in how to build studios and use the latest video tools. Graeme started his company, 602 Communications, in the late 90s. He did consulting and training work, showing companies how to increase engagement on promotion and marketing. He worked with companies like Disney, Sony, GE, Madison Square Garden and other businesses in 21 different countries around the world. Next, he moved on to the advertising and marketing world doing research testing of commercials and marketing materials for large media companies. This is where he was introduced to the world of neuroscience testing and just how wickedly effective it could be at spotting bad marketing. Graeme put people inside of brain scanners, then showed them ads. The neuroscience testing clearly showed just how engage people really were with specific marketing materials. What was amazing was that people often professed to love an ad, but the brain scanners clearly showed they were not into it. What he found is that oftentimes, people wanted to believe they liked something, even if their subconscious beliefs disagreed. There is a saying in the world of brain science - If you want to know how someone really feels about something, one of the worst things you can do is ask them.  While doing neuro-testing of financial services ads, he noticed a very peculiar result. Even the mention of this threatening topic caused people’s brains to light up like a Christmas tree. Money decisions were so incredibly threatening, that most people tended to make really bad choices. These days, Graeme is primarily a professional speaker on behavioral finance. Everyone can make smarter money decisions but we’ve got to learn the most common ways that our very flawed brains tend to misstep. He shows audiences the moments when they’re most vulnerable and how to break the pattern of impulsive decision-making before it costs them money. Graeme lives in Portland Oregon where most of his closest family live just a few minutes away. He is an avid hiker and gym rat. #InspiringLeadership #leadership #CEO #MotivationalSpeaker #teamcoach #InclusiveLeadership #Boards  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
