Danish Ahmed

From CopperWiki

Danish Ahmed [1] is an inspirational speaker (his mantra: Ordinary Words - Extraordinary Power) and author of national best-seller - "A Dictionary of Distinctions". He energizes and motivates audiences throughout North America by opening their minds to the power of words in their everyday communication.

In his presentations, Danish draws upon his life experience as an albino and legally blind Pakistani immigrant, who arrived in Canada with his family at age four. Growing up in an impoverished area of downtown Toronto, he overcame many challenges including drug-treated depression and thoughts of suicide, until his amazing turnaround at age of fourteen, through a motivational infomercial.

Danish's vision is to help transform the lives of millions of people around the world through a new media genre -- the convergence of entertainment and inspiration. For example, Danish produced "What is Love?", a three minute Internet movie [2] , now seen by one million people across 112 countries. It was also showcased at the Love & Lust Film Festival (Toronto, February 8-14, 2005). Other movies include "Forgiveness" and "Journey of Attraction".

Danish Ahmed has accomplished many firsts. He was designing curricula and teaching by the time he was fifteen years of age. He co-developed a revolutionary Internet technology that became the foundation of a $1.5 million dot-com startup. By age twenty-three, he had consulted with leading companies and had worked in the industries of stock market analysis, geographic information systems, and international trade. Danish was also involved in obtaining a U.S. patent in the area of biotechnology. Although Danish's skill is technical, his passion is people -- so he continually seeks to integrate and implement peak-performance technologies within himself, his family, his co-workers, and his community.

For fourteen years, Danish has enrolled himself into learning from every possible success coach. His experience includes programs by Dr. John Gray, Anthony Robbins, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Accelerated Learning, Sterling Institute of Relationships, Outward Bound, Up With People, the Sedona Method, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and network marketing.

Having dedicated his life to making a difference in the lives of everyone that he comes in contact with, Danish also devotes considerable energy and time to volunteer activities. He is a mentor in a national youth leadership program, Youth in Motion, and serves as Chairman of the Board for SampO - a global organization dedicated to philanthropy and social change. _{Subscript text}
