Meet Your Keynote Speaker, Fahd Alhattab
"Hi, I'm Fahd!
I'm a social entrepreneur turned keynote speaker who has spoken to and trained over 50,000 youth across the country on leadership, entrepreneurship, and social innovation!
It's been my life's work building and empowering teams to solve big human problems.
My experience founding a camp for underprivileged children and raising more than $1.2M dollars for local charities taught me that leadership is developed from taking real action.
Now, I'm committed to sharing these lessons with the next generation of resilient leaders.
As a youth leadership speaker, I motivate students with humour, storytelling, and takeaways designed to inspire them to become change-makers in their schools, organizations, and communities.
My passion is helping students find the leaders in themselves."
