WHO IS ISMAIL?
Early in his life, Ismail was met with unimaginable tragedies, losing his mother just two weeks before his sixth birthday and his father a week after his eleventh. Thrust into a disorienting emotional landscape, he spent his teenage years adrift, grappling with feelings of purposelessness. However, his tenure at Apple ignited a transformative realization: his life experiences had endowed him with an extraordinary ability to ignite a sense of purpose in others, catalyzing positive changes in lives that had previously seemed without hope.
“Get out of your feelings, Get into your greatness.”
- Ismail Amir
Ismail's enduring commitment is to those he describes as "programmed to lose"—individuals whose life circumstances have conditioned them to expect defeat.
It's a commitment fueled by his own journey, a trajectory from aimlessness to global influence. His consultancy transcends traditional models by integrating elements of emotional intelligence, resilience training, and personalized educational strategies. His deeply resonant message and innovative methodologies provide the educational sector with the tools they need to navigate an increasingly complex world.
Ismail's first and most important job is to be a devoted husband and father of two.
Ismail’s parents sacrificed everything in order for him to have the life that he lives today. Ismail’s son Jayce was born exactly thirty years to the day Ismail was born and serves as a constant reminder that light exists even in the darkness, and to keep pushing forward for his family.
​
Currently, Ismail shares the powerful lessons he’s learned that have taught him how to overcome anything to young men and women across the country.
