How Might We Play in L&D

My guest on this episode is Mo Ash, With a 6-year background experience in the BPO industry, business development, a managerial post in the UN, and finally a 14 years’ experience in the training field. Mohamed has come to condense and formulate all of his efforts and knowledge acquired to dedicate it to the field of empowerment and development in the form of training programs & applied workshops to further enhance the youth who are facing today's dynamic global race.

Being a human development consultant has given Mohamed the chance to conduct sessions, workshops & seminars to over 50,000 trainees from different walks of life & business; starting from university students, juniors, seniors, middle management and even top management of governmental institutions and corporate.

The ray of diversity has helped tremendously with further career excavation in the field of human development along with learning & development. As he is looking into starting a master's degree in business psychology to be able to profoundly blend between L&D, gamification & performance management in a tight cohesive productive meld.

Mohamed currently is the founder of The Catalyst, an instructional design consultancy focused on the sole purpose of creating impeccable learning experience.
