Understanding and taking interest in how meetings and presentations take place within the industry, Hassan further chased his interest, by moving to Canada, and taking up an offer in the telecommunications industry.

In Canada, Hassan worked as an on-field trainer where he managed and supported new employees by providing workshops and training seminars on customer-care services, phone-call etiquette, and successful sales pitches. He later moved to a more senior role where his responsibilities included monitoring and managing his team’s performance and facilitating individual development plans.

After achieving this managerial role in training and development, Hassan pursued further career development, by acquiring a TEFL certificate and moving to China. During this time, he entered the corporate training arena and began delivering English training courses to various multinational companies. Having a strong managerial and training background coupled with his ability to speak Arabic, Hassan was also delegated to train and develop new international trainers, this included designing, developing, and delivering onboarding programmes. This experience gave him the opportunity to further enhance his skills in writing new training materials as well as tailoring existing courses to suit different training needs.

Hassan is very energetic in his training approach and uses thought-provoking activities and compelling story-telling techniques to stimulate creative learning experiences. Hassan speaks three languages: English, Arabic, and intermediate-level Mandarin Chinese.
