IN SHORT

A motivational speaker, master trainer and life coach passionate about helping people transform their lives and find happiness and success, Ali Dashti has made it his job to offer to others what he had himself needed most at critical junctures in life. He has turned his own story of taking ownership of his choices and changing his failures into success into an example of hope, showing people that success is about looking inside yourself and building your life around your gifts and character. “GPAs don’t show your talents,” he says. “Your degrees and your certificates don’t show your personality or your real value.”
