The Leadership Edge

Character Intelligence for Startups Success

Startups don’t fail only on strategy. They stall on character blind spots—emotional reactivity, misaligned personalities on the founding team, and self-talk that sabotages execution.
In this intensive, practical workshop, Dr. Maha Aly shows founders and early-stage teams how to build “character intelligence” as a competitive advantage: regulate under pressure, hire and partner with clarity, and replace self-defeating loops with resilient leadership habits you can use the same day.
