🚀A NEW PHASE Today as I celebrate another year, I find myself reflecting not just on the time that’s passed but on the transformation that each day has brought. Being an intentional growth strategist isn’t just a role—it’s a way of life. Every step I’ve taken, every decision, has been a lesson in resilience, and purposeful change. Growth/Development doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the product of countless moments of discipline, persistence, and belief in the power of transformation. This past years, I’ve worked with incredible teams, led challenging projects, and pushed the boundaries of what I thought possible. Each experience has added a layer to my understanding and my purpose. My goal for this new year is clear: to continue learning, building, and sharing what I’ve learned with those around me. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who’s been part of this journey—clients, mentors, peers, and friends who inspire me daily. Here’s to another year of impact, influence and inspiring others to reach new heights. Thank you for being a part of my journey. Let’s make this year even more transformative! Happy day of birth to me: ABBA Global(Activating Relevance) #GrowthStrategist #ReflectAndGrow #Gratitude #Leadership #NewYearNewGoals

🌟 Embracing the Journey: The Power of Knowing Your Why 🌟 As I navigate this unique chapter of my professional journey—a sabbatical filled with reflection and growth—I am reminded of the profound importance of understanding one’s “why.” It’s not about knowing every detail of the path ahead, but about being crystal clear on the purpose driving you forward. In the ever-evolving landscape of our industry, clarity of purpose is more crucial than ever. It fuels innovation, resilience, and the courage to make bold moves. As I prepare for my next adventure, I am deeply committed to harnessing this clarity to make a meaningful impact. To those who are also on a journey of discovery, remember: once you know your why, the rest becomes inevitable. The how will unfold in its own time, guided by your passion and determination. Here’s to embracing uncertainty with confidence and to the exciting possibilities that lie ahead! Lean in. #PurposeDriven #Leadership #Innovation #GrowthMindset

The December BOMA session is a (Christmas) cracker - sorry, couldn’t resist 😂 This months topic is focusing on understanding more about Imposter Syndrome and developing strategies to overcome those feelings of self-doubt that can occur throughout your leadership career. #BOMA #leadershipdevelopment #learning #selfbelief #selfconfidence

🏃♂️🌟 Embracing Growth: More Than Just Numbers 🌟🏃♂️ I recently completed my first half marathon. It's been an incredible journey since I began running more seriously earlier this year, transitioning from occasional jogs to a more structured approach. When I started, I could only run a couple of kilometers, and I didn't set specific targets; instead, I focused on becoming a better version of myself. This experience got me thinking about the importance of personal growth beyond just achieving numeric goals. It's about continuous improvement, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence. It's a mindset that's equally vital in the corporate world. As leaders, we often prioritize numeric KPIs and tangible outcomes. While these metrics are essential, there's an equally critical aspect—fostering growth, both for ourselves and our teams. By focusing on creating a better version of our team members and ourselves, we pave the way for sustainable growth and long-term success. It's about building resilience, adaptability, and a culture of continuous improvement. Let's embrace the journey toward becoming the best versions of ourselves, both personally and professionally, and inspire others to do the same. Here's to a future of sustainable growth and success, one step at a time! 🌟🚀 #novonordisk #leadership #Run #sowetomarathon #medicalaffairs Mohamed Chafik Malaki

Rewind the clock ten years—can you remember the challenges you were grappling with? Maybe they seemed insurmountable at the time, yet here you are, having navigated through them, perhaps wondering why you worried so much. Fast forward to today: the hurdles we face now might feel just as daunting. Yet, if history teaches us anything, it's that a decade from now, we'll look back at our current challenges with a different perspective, possibly even bemusement at how much they once concerned us. This shift is not merely about the passage of time but about the evolution of our perspective. Every challenge we face and overcome doesn't just disappear; it contributes to our growth, equips us with new insights, and provides us with experiences that shape our approach to future obstacles. As professionals, understanding this can profoundly affect how we tackle our daily tasks and long-term goals. Knowing that the problems of today will be the stories of resilience tomorrow can empower us to face them with more confidence and less fear. So, as you navigate through this week's challenges, remember to take a moment to appreciate the journey. The perspective you gain today is preparing you for tomorrow's successes. In a decade, you'll not only have conquered today's challenges but also have helped pave the way for your future self. Let's embrace our challenges with the knowledge that time is on our side, transforming today's trials into tomorrow's triumphs. #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #Perspective #TimeManagement #Leadership

🚧It's natural to scrutinize ourselves as leaders and individuals, especially as the week draws closer. However, amidst self-reflection, we must remember the inherent value we bring to every situation. Each week's triumphs and tribulations contribute to our overall worth and growth. Successes and challenges shape our journey and refine our approach to leadership and life. So, as we assess our week's accomplishments and setbacks, let's always keep in mind the significance of our contributions and how they enhance our personal and professional value. 🚧 Treating our life experiences as valuable components of our intelligence journey can lead us to an 📖"Einstein level" 🧐of understanding. We can leverage our unique backgrounds and lessons learned to enhance our intelligence and creativity, just as Einstein did. By embracing our past and present circumstances as valuable sources of insight and growth, we can continue to evolve intellectually and make meaningful contributions to the world around us. Let's take a moment to reflect on our own experiences and see how they can help us reach new heights of understanding. 🪜📚 #lifeexperiences #intelligencejourney #Einsteinlevel #uniquebackgrounds #lessonslearned #intellectualgrowth #meaningfulcontributions

Let’s talk FOPO 🫣 …Now that I’ve got your attention… This is an acronym I just learned (there are so many nowadays). Fear of Other People’s Opinions (“FOPO” for short) is a hindrance to personal and professional growth. It can stifle innovation, prevent us from taking risks, and ultimately hold us back from realizing our full potential. When trying to innovate and capitalize on opportunities for growth in key areas, the fear of judgment can lead us to play it safe, avoiding bold moves that could create significant value. Instead of letting FOPO dictate our actions, we should embrace authenticity and courage. Let’s challenge ourselves to shift our mindset: What if we focused more on our vision and less on the opinions of others? By fostering a culture of openness and encouraging calculated risks, we can unlock new opportunities and drive meaningful connections. How have you navigated FOPO in your career?

As we enter the final month of the year, I’m reflecting on the journey that has shaped me, both personally and professionally. This year has been filled with valuable learning experiences, challenges that pushed me out of my comfort zone, and opportunities that led to growth in all aspects of my life. What stands out the most? Overcoming challenges that once felt impossible, discovering new strengths, and evolving in ways I never imagined. Every lesson learned—whether in my personal life or career—has been a stepping stone toward growth. I’m incredibly grateful for the progress I’ve made, the lessons I’ve gained, and the amazing people who’ve been part of this journey. As we close out the year, I want to ask: What are you most grateful for? Remember, growth doesn’t happen without stepping into discomfort. Embrace the challenges, and they’ll turn into your greatest lessons. #Gratitude #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalGrowth #Leadership #EmbraceChallenges #YearInReview #LessonsLearned #Reflection
