Allego™ Invests in Future Sales Leaders Through Collaboration with Babson College
Immersive 12-week internship blends real-world training, mentorship, and skill-building simulations to prepare students for careers in sales WALTHAM, Mass., April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Demonstrating its commitment to education, mentorship, and innovation in the sales profession, Allego, Inc., the leader in AI-powered revenue enablement technology, today announced the successful completion of its inaugural sales internship program, developed in collaboration with Babson College, the #1 school for entrepreneurship education. The 12-week program offered students hands-on exposure to the art and science of sales development, blending real-time call shadowing, artificial intelligence (AI) simulations, and mentorship from Allego's high-performing revenue team. "It was incredibly rewarding to mentor the Babson interns and share the art and science behind successful sales," said David Ashe, Director of Sales Development at Allego. "Watching their curiosity evolve into confidence week after week reinforced the importance of programs like this—not just for the students, but for the future of the sales profession." Three Babson College seniors—Jolie Rojik, Jesus Alanis, and Jonathan Rosario—participated in the program, rotating weekly between live call observation and guided sales training. Designed to reflect the realities of today's modern sales environment, the curriculum covered DISC profile analysis, cold call framework, objection handling, and time management. Students also listened to live cold calls and engaged in skill-building simulations within the Allego platform to reinforce their learning. "The ability to expand my network with Babson alumni, many who are very successful in their sales careers and further learn about the culture and structure of their company has been an exhilarating and captivating experience," said Jesus Alanis, a senior at Babson College. "Overall, this was a great experience, one that allowed me to learn more about the dynamic of sales and the sales enablement industry." The program was part of a broader collaboration between Allego and Professor Vini Onyemah's Professional Sales Practicum at Babson College. In addition to the internship, Allego hosted a class visit, offering students an inside look at sales, marketing, and customer success in action. Several students expressed interest in pursuing full-time sales roles after graduation—an early sign of the program's long-term impact. "Experiential learning is the cornerstone of meaningful education," said Professor Onyemah. "Allego's internship program gave our students practical insight into the modern sales landscape while reinforcing key principles we cover in the classroom. The result was transformative for many of them, both personally and professionally." The program also inspired students to reframe how they view sales. Many arrived with preconceived notions of aggressive tactics, quotas, and cold calls, but left with a new appreciation for sales as a discipline rooted in consulting, problem-solving, and entrepreneurship. The success of the internship demonstrates more than just a productive collaboration—it highlights Allego's broader commitment to elevating the sales profession. By providing students with meaningful, real-world experience, Allego is helping redefine how the next generation views and enters the world of sales. "At Allego, we believe in building confident teams, and that includes the next generation of Professional Sellers," said Mark Magnacca, President and Co-Founder of Allego.

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 / / -- 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.' How to Work With Imkan Leadership Development Imkan offers: • 1:1 and group coaching programs • Organizational resilience training • DISC-based team development workshops • Speaking engagements and leadership seminars All coaching programs begin with a DISC assessment and a free discovery call to assess client needs. 'Her coaching isn't about hype—it's about helping you lead with clarity, strength, and purpose,' said Heather McGlone, President of Ace Strategies. 📞 Media Contact Nagham Alsamari Resilience Coach, Speaker, & DISC Consultant 📧 [email protected] 🌐 📱 Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube: @leadwithimkan Nagham Alsamari Imkan Leadership Development LLC +1 3136550393 email us here Visit us on social media: Facebook LinkedIn Instagram YouTube TikTok Legal Disclaimer: EIN Presswire provides this news content 'as is' without warranty of any kind.

Akihiko Sadaka From ASICS On Their New VR Game ‘DISC'
'DISC' is being developed for Meta Quest VR headsets. Akihiko Sadaka is the Chief Digital Officer at ASICS, and I caught up with him to discuss their new VR game DISC. 'During the international sports event held in Tokyo in 2021, there was worldwide attention around Esports incorporating digital technology, attracting the interest of many people, including the younger generation. 'At that time, ASICS understood that there was an opportunity for Esports to incorporate movement and physical activity using VR technology. ASICS found this new virtual sports experience could contribute to mental and physical health and act as an option for people with little exercise habits to move their bodies while having fun, which is the reason for developing VR sports such as DISC. 'We look at technology by focusing on what it will bring to the customer rather than the technology itself. The purpose of this DISC content is not to directly link with existing businesses such as shoe and apparel sales but to allow customers to move their bodies while having fun through new sports experiences with an immersive VR feel. 'Therefore, speaking of the evolution of VR technology, we hope that many customers will be able to enjoy DISC by making VR headsets lighter, cheaper, and smarter. Through this, ASICS will create a new point of contact with a customer base beyond its core business, and such customers may eventually be able to purchase shoes and apparel products. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder 'This summer, we will start selling digital goods such as shoes and apparel that will be worn by avatars in the VR space of DISC content. We expect that the number of customers who enjoy virtual sports in the VR space will increase in the future.' I managed to have a go on DISC with a Meta Quest 3S headset and controls, and it was surprisingly decent despite being an early build. The art style was clean, fun, and crisp, with the messaging being clear and accurate throughout. ASICS hopes VR games like 'DISC' will help players be more active at home. The game feels suitably Tron-esque, as you would imagine, but the art style lacks the neon noir visuals from the likes of Tron Legacy and was more what you'd expect from a sports game. The only minor issue was that sometimes an opponent's disc would go in the goal despite it feeling like you saved it. This is a relatively easy fix from a collision standpoint, as in making your virtual hands bigger and/or the goal slightly smaller, but this was an early build, and there's still work to be done. It was interesting to see a company like ASICS handle a game so solidly though, and as for why the company went with a Meta Quest VR headset, Sadaka had this to say. 'Meta Quest is the world's largest producer of VR headsets. We want more people around the world to enjoy DISC and move their bodies, which led to collaboration with Meta. In addition, we believe that Meta's policy of further expanding Meta Quest not only for gaming but also for sports and fitness is in line with ASICS' mission of further contributing to people's physical and mental health by incorporating innovative digital technologies. 'We believe that the movement to incorporate digital technology into traditional sports will continue. By utilizing innovative digital technology in various businesses, we want to enhance the brand experience of ASICS. 'Since this is the first initiative for ASICS, we believe that it is important to increase the number of DISC users first. The reason why we chose a sport like DISC is that the movements and rules are simple and easy to understand, regardless of whether you have exercise experience or not, and anyone in the world can enjoy it anywhere. If DISC becomes one of the options for many users to easily enjoy sports, we believe that we can consider various ideas, such as holding an international DISC tournament in the VR space.' DISC is now in open access, and you can apply for that here. Follow me on X, Facebook and YouTube. I also manage Mecha Damashii and am currently featured in the Giant Robots exhibition currently touring Japan.
