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.'

In One of the World's Wealthiest Countries, More People Will Go Hungry
On the first Monday morning in June, Jocelyn Walker waited for her car clock to tick 9 a.m., then scrolled her cellphone call history for a number she dials often. She had 30 minutes to spare before seeing her first client of the day at Revived Styles, the natural hair business she runs in a suburb of Detroit. 'Usually I call early in the morning,' Ms. Walker told me. She learned her lesson a couple of years ago, when a paperwork error canceled the food stamps and Medicaid that she and her now 8-year-old son rely on. She had waited until 9:30 a.m. to call Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services and was 162nd in line. She then missed the return call that came at 4 p.m. It took another day to get a person on the phone — and two months to get their health care and food assistance back. 'I'm traumatized. I'm not going to lie,' she said. Last week, when she was calling to confirm that the state was processing her proof of income, there were 33 callers ahead of her. If President Trump's budget bill reaches his desk with its proposed cuts and rule changes intact, Ms. Walker will most likely have to make many similar calls. The bill, passed by the House in late May, would slash nearly $300 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP and food stamps, between this year and 2034. The program provides low-income Americans an average of $6 a day per person for food. Its money would be reduced to pay for tax cuts that would give the nation's 0.1 percent wealthiest households — those earning at least $4.3 million — an extra $390,070, on average, next year alone.

Uber taps AI firm Wayve to pilot fully driverless rides in the UK
Uber on Tuesday announced it's partnered with self-driving car technology firm Wayve to launch trials of fully autonomous rides in the U.K. The ride-hailing app said the pilot would be the first of its kind for the company, as it allow users to take Uber rides without a safety driver present — a standard of autonomous driving described by the industry as "Level 4." Self-driving vehicles have become a common sight in San Francisco, where Google's autonomous driving venture Waymo offers a commercial ride-hailing service with its driverless cars. However, other global players are racing to roll out so-called "robotaxi" services of their own. Andrew MacDonald, president and chief operating officer of Uber, said the partnership with Wayve would move the company a step closer toward its vision "to make autonomy a safe and reliable option for riders everywhere." "This is a defining moment for UK autonomy," Wayve CEO and co-founder Alex Kendall said in a statement. "With Uber and a global OEM partner, we're preparing to put our AI Driver technology into real service on the streets of London." Uber said it was able to launch the pilot in the U.K. thanks to an "accelerated framework" for self-driving commercial pilots that's being introduced by the U.K.'s Department of Transport. Uber and Wayve said they would work closely with the government and Transport for London — which is the main authority overseeing transport in the U.K. capital — on regulatory approvals and permissions prior to launching the trials. Backed by SoftBank, Wayve is a London-based startup that develops software to enable self-driving vehicles. Its platform uses artificial intelligence to allow cars to assess their surroundings and it's designed to be applicable in any environment. Last year, the U.K. passed its Autonomous Vehicles Act into law, which the government at the time said would pave the way for self-driving vehicles to arrive on British roads by 2026.

Rolls-Royce to build Britain's first mini nuclear reactors
Rolls-Royce will build the country's first mini nuclear power plants as part of a multibillion-pound effort to make Britain a world leader in the technology. The Derby-based engineering giant was on Tuesday confirmed as the sole winner of a design competition, beating rivals GE-Hitachi and Holtec International following a two-year selection process. It will now work with the Government on a programme to initially build three the first small modular reactors (SMRs) by the 2030s, with £2.5bn of funding pledged through 2029 and billions more expected beyond that once construction begins. Ministers said the decision showed they were 'backing Britain', with the majority of the supply chain expected to be based domestically. As a 'preferred' bidder, Rolls will now hold talks to negotiate a final contract with the Government. A location has yet to be announced but sites including Wylfa, in Anglesey, and Oldbury-on-Severn, in Gloucestershire, are among those being considered. Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary, said the scheme would boost energy security and create thousands of jobs, as part of a new 'golden age of nuclear' that has also seen the Government pledge £14bn of new funding to the construction of Sizewell C. Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor, added: 'The UK is back where it belongs, taking the lead in the technologies of tomorrow with Rolls-Royce SMR as the preferred partner for this journey. 'We're backing Britain with Great British Energy - Nuclear's ambition to ensure 70pc of supply chain products are British built, delivering our plan for change through more jobs and putting more money in people's pockets.' SMRs would in theory be faster to build than larger nuclear plants, such as Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C, and come with smaller price tags – although they remain unproven commercially. Tuesday's announcement also confirmed cutbacks to the SMR programme, which The Telegraph previously revealed were being considered. The Government had earlier suggested that two or as many as three SMR manufacturers would be chosen to take designs forward, with nuclear industry insiders saying this would boost competition and ensure a 'backup' was available should the main winner run into trouble. But with the Treasury under pressure to find billions of pounds for other priorities such as the NHS and police forces, the scale of the programme now appears to have been trimmed back. Ministers also confirmed that Great British Nuclear, the quango set up to manage the new mini-nuclear programme, would be absorbed into Mr Miliband's publicly owned Great British Energy. Tufan Erginbilgic, chief executive of Rolls-Royce, said: 'This is a very significant milestone for our business. 'It is a vote of confidence in our unique nuclear capabilities, which will be recognised by governments around the world.' Rolls has also been selected by the Czech government to build some of Europe's first SMRs in a joint venture with state energy firm CEZ. The decision brings to a close a process that was first promised by George Osborne, the former chancellor, in 2015 but did not begin until 2023 under the previous Conservative government. Rolls was widely viewed as the frontrunner in the process and had already been awarded £210m of taxpayer support in 2021 towards the development costs of its SMR technology. But in the past year, ministers have faced calls from Rolls boss Erginbilgic to push forward more quickly to ensure Britain retains 'first mover advantage'. The global SMR market is projected to be worth up to £500bn by 2050, according to the International Energy Agency. Rolls is vying against companies including Westinghouse and GE-Hitachi to secure customers and set up supply chains. The company has long supplied the pressurised water reactors that power Royal Navy submarines but has more recently sought to develop SMRs and even smaller 'micro reactors' for commercial use as well. Its SMRs would be constructed from 'modules' that are built in factories and then transported to sites for assembly. The idea is meant to ensure that the plants can be produced efficiently at scale and more quickly than larger nuclear projects. As part of the SMR competition, the Government asked companies to explain how they would bring down costs over time. In the longer run, it is also hoped that the smaller price tags of SMRs will ensure they are more attractive to private investors, which have long viewed bigger plants as too expensive and risky to back without government support. Major technology companies including Google, Amazon and Facebook owner Meta are investing in potential SMR technologies, amid suggestions they could eventually be used to supply power-hungry data centres needed to develop artificial intelligence.
