Testimonials
In other people's words
These are some of the things people have said about working with me, from a prison leaver I mentored to colleagues I have worked alongside and school staff who came to one of my workshops. Every one of them is in their own words.
People I have worked with
I can honestly say Omar is one of the most inspirational people I have met and anyone who has the pleasure of meeting, working alongside or being mentored by him will not regret it!
Omar is a very rare asset. He is totally authentic, enthusiastic and driven. His life experiences have shaped him but don’t define his future. He is inspiring and hardworking; has a strong social conscience but with a commercial understanding. He builds super networks internally and externally as he’s a very likeable and astute human being. We all need more Omars in our organisations and life.
I’ve had the privilege of working with Omar as part of a wider social value team, and his contributions have been nothing short of outstanding. Omar has a natural ability to bring diversity of thought to the table, ensuring that ideas are explored from multiple perspectives and creating richer, more impactful outcomes. It’s rare to find someone who blends creativity, critical thinking, and dedication so seamlessly.
He supports those going through difficult transitions and learning new entrepreneurial skills. A very creative and insightful mind, often coming up with new creative solutions to drive ideas forward.

Would you like to talk about working together?
I speak, run workshops, mentor and advise on lived experience and employment. If one of these sounds like what you need, I would be glad to hear from you.
