I now run a psychological consultation and training centre offering training in NLP, hypnosis, self-energy, and human development. I am also directing new program in the UAEU called Leadership and Society. This program is an interdisciplinary program which I consider a a good opportunity to apply my practical social psychology knowledge.

I have a TV show on social psychological Issues that made my contributions to the Arab world as well as my community worth being proud of. This Program is on Dubai TV and call Lawwen Hayatric and Life Is Good.
