Resilience Isn't Just a Buzzword—This Michigan Coach Is Helping Leaders Build It for Real
From stress to strength—Alsamari helps leaders grow through resilience coaching, DISC insight, and proven leadership strategies.
DEARBORN, MI, UNITED STATES, April 21, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Burnout, overwhelm, and uncertainty are no longer exceptions—they're the norm. But one Michigan-based resilience coach is helping entrepreneurs, professionals, and organizations break the cycle and lead with clarity, strength, and purpose.
Nagham Alsamari is a professional speaker, resilience coach, and corporate trainer who helps businesses and individuals build long-term capacity to thrive—not just survive. Through her company, Imkan Leadership Development, she equips teams with practical tools to navigate pressure, reduce burnout, and lead with confidence and clarity in rapidly changing environments.
A former educator, principal, and now keynote speaker and DISC-certified consultant, Alsamari blends strategy with deep empathy—drawing from her own experiences as a refugee, community leader, and leadership mentor.
'Resilience isn't about being tough—it's about being prepared,' said Alsamari. 'I help people and organizations create systems and habits that make them stronger over time, not more exhausted.'
A Coaching Approach That Starts With Self-Awareness
Every coaching relationship begins with the DISC personality assessment, a behavior-based tool that reveals how people lead, communicate, and respond to stress. Whether she's working with an executive team or a solo entrepreneur, Alsamari customizes her approach to match the person—not just the position.
'You can't lead others effectively if you don't understand your own pressure points, triggers, and blind spots,' she says.
Clients walk away with more than motivation. They gain practical tools to shift from reactivity to resilience—learning how to manage energy, set boundaries, and lead with intention.
Real People, Real Change
Her impact spans individuals and teams, from new immigrants launching businesses to seasoned professionals rebuilding after burnout:
'Nagham's coaching gave me tools that helped me manage pressure, stay focused, and maintain balance. Her impact has been invaluable.'
— Mohammad Bahrami
'She helped me identify the gaps in my business and recommended solutions that worked. Her coaching gave me clarity, productivity, and the confidence to lead.'
— Dua Al-Zayadi
'She challenges you to grow, and walks with you every step of the way. Her coaching and leadership are unmatched.'
— Rola Abbas
A Voice Leaders Trust
Alsamari is also a sought-after speaker, known for her insight, relatability, and depth. She regularly delivers keynotes and training workshops on resilience, DISC-based communication, and sustainable leadership development.
'Her wisdom, knowledge, and authenticity resonated deeply with our audience,' said Danette-Duron Willner of Clearheaded LLC, reflecting on Alsamari's appearance at the 2025 FemPreneur Summit.
Alsamari also collaborates with organizations on tailored resilience training for teams, leadership cohorts, and community initiatives.
From Refugee to Resilience Coach
Alsamari's coaching is grounded in experience. She arrived in the U.S. as a refugee at 13, became a teacher, then a school principal—before launching her company to support others navigating complex leadership and life challenges.
'I've survived many near-death experiences. I know what it means to keep going when it feels impossible. That's why I do this work.'

Imkan offers:
• 1:1 and group coaching programs

Uncrustables Are on a Seemingly Unstoppable Run to $1 Billion in Sales
Sales of the Uncrustables sandwich continued to grow, despite soft peanut butter and jam sales in the most recent quarter, The J.M. Smucker Co. said. The company is poised to achieve its goal of hitting more than $1 billion in Uncrustables sales in the current fiscal year, executives said. J.M. Smucker aims to keep the momentum going with limited editions of a product known to be eaten by musicians and athletes such as Travis haven't lost their edge. Despite the fact that making making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches isn't particularly hard, Americans continue to opt for the shortcut offered by The J.M. Smucker Co. (SJM). Sales of Jif peanut butter and Smucker's jam fell year-over-year in the last quarter, while sales of the Uncrustables sandwich rose, CEO Mark Smucker said on a conference call Tuesday. Uncrustables sales leaped 15% year-over-year in fiscal year 2025, hitting $920 million, according to company executives. The sandwich now accounts for more than a tenth of annual sales at J.M. Smucker, which also sells pet food along with Folgers and Café Bustelo coffee. Hitting $1 billion in annual sales of the sandwich has been part of the company's agenda since at least 2021, when Uncrustables sales were about half that amount. Now, the mark is within striking distance. The company wants to continue building momentum with new riffs on the PB&J, robust marketing and broader distribution, Mark Smucker said at a conference in March. 'We definitely think there's growth beyond … $1 billion,' said Smucker, according to a transcript made available by AlphaSense. 'And we've talked about how long it took us to figure out how to make these things in a profitable and mass-produced high-quality way. And now that we're doing that, we can really fire on all cylinders and drive the growth.' Demand for Uncrustables has been so strong that J.M. Smucker opened a $1.1 billion plant in Alabama last year to ramp up production. And appetite for the sandwiches is expected to withstand price increases, executives said: J.M. Smucker recently raised its list price for Uncrustables for the first time in three years, Smucker said on the earnings call. (The company's 2026 forecast is based on a low-single-digit percent price bump, CFO Tucker Marshall said.) The product has long benefited from high-profile fans—from musicians like Drake to sports icons, such as Travis Kelce, according to news reports. Athletes say the snack has enough calories and protein to fuel their performance. Affinity for the sandwich has spread beyond sports fields and school cafeterias to corporate break rooms, according to a 2023 Wall Street Journal article. The Ohio-based company hopes to generate still more hype with Uncrustables fillings that are available for a limited time, Mark Smucker said on the earnings call. We have 'begun launching a regular cadence of limited edition flavors starting this summer with a new peanut butter and mixer berry spread variety,' he said. J.M. Smucker shares fell nearly 16% Tuesday after it missed fourth-quarter sales estimates and released an outlook that was more cautious than analysts expected.

India's granaries overflow as rice stocks hit record, wheat surges
By Rajendra Jadhav MUMBAI (Reuters) -India's rice stocks in government warehouses rose 18% from a year ago to a record high for the start of June, while wheat stocks have hit their highest level in four years on higher procurement from farmers, official data showed on Wednesday. Record rice stocks will help the world's biggest exporter increase shipments, while an improvement in wheat inventories will help the federal government tame any price spikes later this year by increasing open market sales. State reserves of rice, including unmilled paddy, totalled a record 59.5 million metric tons as of June 1, far exceeding the government's target of 13.5 million tons for July 1. Wheat stocks stood at 36.9 million tons on June 1, well above the government's target of 27.6 million tons, the data showed. "Rice stocks have piled up way too much. The government really needs to bring them down before the next buying season kicks off in October," said a New Delhi-based dealer at a global trading firm. India, which accounts for around 40% of global rice exports, removed the last of its export curbs on the grain in March 2025, with the initial restrictions having been imposed in 2022. Wheat stocks have risen to a comfortable position mainly because of higher procurement, which will help New Delhi sell more wheat to bulk consumers during the lean supply season, said a Mumbai-based dealer. The government has so far brought 30 million tons of wheat from farmers, the most in four years, according to data compiled by Food Corporation of India (FCI). Disappointing harvests in the past three years and lower purchases by the FCI had pushed up prices of the staple grain and raised expectations that India may be forced to import wheat for the first time in seven years. But the buildup in stocks this year means the country should be able to meet domestic demand without imports.

Pound dips ahead of Rachel Reeves' spending review
The pound slipped 0.1% lower against the dollar on Wednesday morning, trading at $1.3477 at the time of writing, ahead of the UK government spending review. Reeves is due to deliver the spending review at 12h30 BST on Wednesday, when she will set out government departmental budgets for the next few years. The chancellor is expected to unveil a £39bn boost to funding for affordable housing, a £15.6bn investment in public transport, a £11.5bn pledge for the Sizewell C nuclear project, as well as more spending on the national health service (NHS), defence and schools. Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "Focus will be trained on bond market reaction to chancellor Rachel Reeves' plan to boost capital spending on infrastructure but keep a tighter rein on the day-to-day spending of departmental budgets, while ringfencing funding increases to health and defence." She said that the yields on 10-year and 30-year government bonds, known as gilts, "which are watched closely for any signs of a bond market strop out, have dropped back in recent days." "It may partly be due to a weakening labour market raising hopes that forecasts for more interest rate cuts will stay on track," Streeter said. "But so far, the headlines released about spending commitments appear to have kept investors in UK government debt on side, but details will be dug through, particularly when it comes to capital spending commitments." Read more: Spending review - live: Rachel Reeves expected to unveil more funding for schools, NHS and defence Streeter said that investors were also weighing the World Bank's cut to its global economic growth forecast. The Washington-based lender said on Tuesday it now expected global growth to slow to 2.3% in 2025, which is nearly half a percentage point lower than the rate that had been expected at the start of the year. While the World Bank said a global recession was not expected, it said that if forecasts for the next two years materialised, average global growth for the first seven years of the 2020s would be the slowest of any decade since the 1960s. Streeter said that there was "some optimism" about the outcome of the latest trade talks between the US and China but pointed out this was "largely an agreement to stick to the previous plan for compromise". The US dollar index ( which measures the greenback against a basket of six currencies, hovered around the flatline at 99.11. The pound was also little changed against the euro (GBPEUR=X) on Wednesday morning, trading at €1.1809. Gold prices rose on Wednesday morning, as investors weighed concerns around economic growth and the developments on trade. Gold futures (GC=F) climbed 0.5% to $3,358.40 per ounce at the time of writing, while the spot gold price advanced 0.7% to $3,345.51 per ounce. US and Chinese negotiators said overnight that they had a agreed on a framework deal to restore their trade truce.

"Chinese exports of rare earth minerals are likely to have been high on the agenda, although at this stage it has not become apparent what China may have negotiated in return," he said. "Even so, the two days of talks represent progress and the hope is now that the more conciliatory momentum can be maintained." Oil prices gained on Wednesday morning, amid signs of progress on US and China trade talks. Brent crude futures (BZ=F) rose 0.3% to $67.09 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate futures (CL=F) climbed 0.4% at $65.26 a barrel. News of another trade truce between the US and China offered some relief for investors, as concerns that a tariff-induced economic slowdown could impact demand for fuel have weighed on oil prices.

Hargreaves Landown's Streeter pointed out that brent crude dipped earlier in Wednesday's session, which came "amid the forecasts of clouds gathering over the global economy". "An industry report from the US Energy Information Administration also indicated there's set to be a larger build up in oil stocks this year, than it expected just a month ago," she said. In broader market movements, the FTSE 100 (^FTSE) was up 0.3% to 8,875 points at the time writing. For more details, on broader market movements check our live coverage here.
