A Talk with Khalid Al Ameri at AUD

The School of Business Administration at the American University in Dubai (AUD) hosted famous Social Columnist, Motivational Speaker, and Youth Coach Khalid Al Ameri for a talk on helping people follow their dreams, better their lives, and shape their careers.

Al Ameri candidly shared his life story with the students, stressing that "no one talks about how hard it is to succeed and the sacrifices it takes, but I am proud of my achievements today!” 

He explained to the students that nothing was a given, “when I graduated, I sat next to the phone waiting for employers to call me. That did not work out well! Get out there, get internships, get passionate, make the effort and take that extra step to differentiate yourself. It will pay off.” 

When asked how long one needed to concentrate on their career before pursuing their dream, Al Ameri was resolute that the two should not be mutually exclusive; “find your passion and do everything in your power to pursue it and succeed at it! Don't settle for a job you don't love." 

Al Ameri finally advised the students to stay informed, to volunteer and help in causes close to their hearts, and above all to do everything with passion.
