Dr Samineh Shaheem

Learning & Development Senior Consultant | Knowledge Entrepreneur | NeuroLeadership Executive Coach | Professor of Psychology and Leadership | Keynote Speaker

For nearly 25 years, learning and development has been the main focus of Dr Shaheem's career in a deep and deliberate manner, through the application of psychological and adult educational principles and practices. The intertwined nature of multiple roles throughout her career (such as a Learning & Development consultant, Professor of Cross Cultural Psychology & Leadership,  leadership roles in public and private organisations and entrepreneur) are inseparable and constantly leveraged to engage in purposeful work to make a positive impact.

So when Dr Shaheem works as a consultant or coach, her comprehensive and broad academic background colours and frames both the process and outcome of that engagement. Similarly, as a university professor, Dr Shaheem's consulting projects breathe life and relevance into her learning sessions.  

As Dean and Executive Director of Graduate Programs of Hult International Business School, Dr Shaheem merged and managed the kaleidoscope of her experiences in order to inspire, educate and transform countless lives by helping both staff and students progress towards their potential.

Furthermore, Dr Shaheem's reach and impact extend across multiple continents through different dimensions. For close to seven years, she was a co-host on a talk radio show called 'Voices of Diversity' and had a monthly column in the largest circulating newspaper in the Gulf region, called 'Psyched Sundays.' She has published a number of books and articles, is a senior research fellow and regular keynote presenter at conferences & Tedx speaker.  

She was also the founder of the first anti bullying campaign in the UAE, 'Bolt Down on Bullying' and the founder and director of Balanced Leadership Circle, an association that aims to confront and prevent gender inequality. Through her social media platforms (approx 140K in total), she has touched the hearts and minds of many people worldwide. On International Women’s Day in 2018, Dr Shaheem was recognized by the Mayor of London for her extraordinary contribution to the UK.
