"What Cause and Values Do You Assertively Stand for?"
YOU CANNOT TRULY BECOME ASSERTIVE FROM JUST READING A BOOK, ONLY RELATIONALLY THROUGH PRACTICE, SO EXPERIENCE IN GOOD COMPANY WITH ASSERTIVE AND COMPANY THE BETTER DONE WITH YOU METHOD
Headquartered in Toronto with a diverse international team of associates and co-created by Evelyn Skye Norris, Assertive & Co. is created and led by Amir Ahmad Nasr. Everything we do based on our shared values is in the service of guiding you to thrive faster.
Dear fellow leader,
The Sufi poet Rumi observed a universal truth about maturing leaders, as they transition from one way of being to another. "Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am working on myself."
As Oprah Winfrey wisely noted, "each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint." We refer to this as your Soulprint.
The question is, what's yours?
What cause and values do you assertively stand for?
There is an artist inside everyone, including yourself, desiring to be more fully expressed, so best be sure to avoid one size fits all "solutions" that suppress who you really are along with your unique and distinct attributes.
After all, when your effort is out of harmony with your true voice, values and purpose, chronic burnout is inevitable, hence, your key opportunity.
Consider this. Regardless of whether you are...
How soulfully, powerfully and assertively self-aware, expressed and actualized do you feel you are in your day to day life as a leader?
And whose job is it to ensure that when you put it all together, you do actually end up with a harmonious platform that's got everything in tune with the real essence of who and what you are?
After all, "those who assertively stand for nothing will likely fall for anything."
To paraphrase Martin Luther King Jr.'s insight, "the ultimate measure of a leader is not where you stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but where you stand at times of challenge and controversy."
The trouble is while most of us believe we are self-aware in regards to who we are, let alone what we stand for, in reality the research shows that only about 10% to 15% of people exhibit self-awareness.
So, if you are not unwaveringly and concisely clear on who you really are and what you truly and assertively stand for as a leader and storyteller, it’s very understandable to feel unsettled about where your work, world and legacy may be headed on a trajectory right now.
Without self-awareness, your self-mastery and thriving are not viable.
However, when you are proactive and creative with the right strategy on the basis of showing up as who you really are, while playing to your strengths, a whole new world of opportunity opens up to you to stand up more assertively for the values you live by to thrive faster virtually in any endeavor.
"Don't go to your grave with your unsung song still inside of you."
Based in the international city of Toronto, we are on a mission to help leaders like you realize your fullest potential as influential communicators for good.
If not you, then who? And if not now, then when?
Book your free training session now.
Speak to you soon.
Like what Clark Joseph Kent is to Superman, Amir Ahmad Nasr is the author and journalism byline of the emerging Toronto-based artist, storyteller, producer, singer and guitar slinger Drima Starlight. In what is now a lifetime ago, after landing in Canada as an exiled writer, journalist and pro-democracy activist in 2014 to seek asylum, and based on a decade of coaching entrepreneurs in world-building, the art of activism and bold narrative strategy, your coach created the Assertive & Co. intensives to meet the growing urgent requests he was receiving to help leaders in North America and beyond.
A deep listener and at times comedic artist whose values are transcendence, musicality and conviction and who loves to teach, he coaches leaders who are conscious reality creators and experts in their fields just like you to face their foremost fears as well as find, clarify and amplify their true voice and values and be in their element. He facilitates this through his proven and sought-after 4-phase framework to level up in assertiveness skills, influence and impact to thrive faster virtually in any economy today.
He is a featured personality in the Emmy award winning documentary film Live Your Quest, along with other leaders in the human potential movement including Jack Canfield, Lisa Nichols, Michael Beckwith, Vishen Lakhiani and Tom Bilyeu of Impact Theory. Ken Wilber, the philosopher of consciousness featured with Dr. Cornel West in the original Matrix movies trilogy, described his debut memoir at the age of 26 as Amir Ahmad Nasr as "important and significant... especially at this time in our history... This is the right message, at the right time, from the right person." When he is not coaching, he is at work on his debut play and visual concept album, experimenting with new media and upgrading his skills to the next level.
His writing and journalism work over the years as a spiritual humanist and free thinker has attracted praise from an audience and readership that includes Hollywood personalities, former White House officials, Ivy League academics, celebrated journalists, intelligence officers, tech investors and fellow artists and entrepreneurs. He has been featured in dozens of media outlets in over 13 languages telling stories about faith, spirituality, human flourishing, our new sci-fi present and better alternative models of reality that free you to thrive faster. Described by WIRED magazine as a "formidable speaker," by The Economist as "puckish" and by a celebrity client as being "like a 300-year old sage who is wise beyond his years," he has shared the stage with former presidents and prime ministers as well as Nobel Peace and Literature Prize laureates all of whom affirm human rights and liberty for all and is a believer in your innate ability to make a bigger difference.
He is a global citizen, "a man of the world" who merges the best of Eastern and Western philosophies and practices to serve you with greater understanding and versatility. A Canadian American Khartoum-born Sudani of Qatari Malaysian upbringing and pharaonic Nubian and Afro-Arab lineage, ours is a humanist and cultural endeavor, so we can liberate more of our shared human potential for flourishing across a diversity of niches and industries in today's global virtual economy.
"With a few conversations you changed the trajectory of my life. I am forever thankful." ― a participant who enrolled and showed up in the experience
Assertive & Co.'s coaching experiences through our praised and trusted 4-phase framework have proven instrumental in enabling many leaders to thrive faster.
Some of the same principles they learned also benefited billion dollar brands led by brilliant executive teams and experts. Here's what the best have in common.
They are all highly mission-driven leaders who are kind, courageous and stand-up individuals of good character. They are a pleasure to guide and coach. If you wish to just dabble and try, not do, this is not for you. But if you live by the same values we and they do, show up fully engaged in your process of self-leadership. Let's begin.
