Ever wondered how running around the iconic Pyramids could inspire a career in education? Meet Ammar Mohamed Ibrahim, PwC's Learning & Development lead and the visionary behind Tamakan, PwC's national talent development initiative. His journey of personal growth began with a life-changing volunteer stint teaching children in India, sparking his passion for education and development. Ammar's unique perspective on life and career is further enriched by his love for long-distance running, which he likens to life's marathon, full of challenges and milestones.
Ammar also co-hosts the L-Box Podcast with Khaled Khafagan, where they reveal the compelling stories behind LinkedIn titles, empowering lifelong learners. Listen as Ammar opens up about a peculiar nickname he earned at 11 and how it has stayed with him through his transition from Saudi Arabia to Egypt. From the joy and pain of running marathons to insightful cultural exchanges across nine Indian cities, Ammar's experiences provide invaluable lessons on resilience and self-discovery.
In our conversation, Ammar highlights the impact of influential figures in his life, particularly three pivotal colleagues and his adventurous, resilient parents. He shares the importance of having a clear, inspiring vision and how challenges fuel his competitive spirit. Whether discussing problem-solving, storytelling, or seizing opportunities, Ammar's insights offer a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone committed to personal growth and lifelong learning.
