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.'

Conservation group makes $60M land deal to end mining threat outside Okefenokee Swamp

SAVANNAH, Ga. -- A conservation group said Friday it has reached a $60 million deal to buy land outside the Okefenokee Swamp from a mining company that environmentalists spent years battling over a proposed mine that opponents feared could irreparably damage an ecological treasure. The Conservation Fund said it will buy all 7,700 acres (31.16 square kilometers) that Alabama-based Twin Pines Minerals owns outside the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in southeast Georgia, halting the company's mining plans. 'It's a big undertaking, but it was also an existential threat to the entire refuge," said Stacy Funderburke, the Conservation Fund's vice president for the central Southeast. 'We've done larger deals for larger acres, but dollar-wise this is the largest deal we've ever done in Georgia." Twin Pines President Steven Ingle confirmed the sale through a spokesman, but declined to comment further. Twin Pines of Birmingham, Alabama, had worked since 2019 to obtain permits to mine titanium dioxide, a pigment used to whiten products from paint to toothpaste, less than 3 miles (5 kilometers) from the southeastern boundary of the Okefenokee refuge near the Georgia-Florida line. The Okefenokee is the largest U.S. refuge east of the Mississippi River, covering nearly 630 square miles (1,630 square kilometers) in southeast Georgia. It is home to abundant alligators, stilt-legged wood storks and more than 400 other animal species. The mine appeared to be on the cusp of winning final approval early last year. Georgia regulators issued draft permits in February 2024 despite warnings from scientists that mining near the Okefenokee's bowl-like rim could damage its ability to hold water and increase the frequency of withering droughts. Twin Pines insisted it could mine without damaging the swamp. Regulators with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division agreed, concluding last year that mining should have a 'minimal impact' on the refuge. The decisions by Georgia regulators played an outsize role in the Twin Pines project after environmental rollbacks during President Donald Trump's first term stripped the federal government of any oversight. Advocates battling Twin Pines said there is still a potential threat to the Okefenokee, with thousands of acres of privately owned land remaining unprotected. Georgia lawmakers have batted aside multiple attempts in recent years to prohibit mining near the refuge. 'There's maybe 30,000 acres that's still vulnerable outside the Okefenokee on Trail Ridge that needs to be conserved,' said Rena Ann Peck of the Georgia River Network. Josh Marks, an Atlanta environmental attorney who fought the mining project, called the land sale 'a huge victory.' But he also called on conservationists to redouble efforts for a state law protecting the Okefenokee and to keep pressure on other companies to refrain from mining near the refuge. Funderburke said the steep purchase price for Twin Pines' land was driven largely by its mineral-rich soils that would have been highly valued by other mining operations. Reaching a deal became more urgent with the company so close to obtaining its final permits. 'It became pretty clear once a draft permit was issued last year that this was the final exit ramp' to stopping the project, Funderburke said. He said his group was closing Friday on about 40% of the property that includes the 820-acre (332-hectare) site for which Twin Pines' had sought its mining permit. The Conservation Fund plans to close on the rest by the end of July. Funderburke said he hopes there is eventually a deal for the land to pass into government ownership and protection. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which oversees the Okefenokee refuge, in January approved a plan to expand the refuge by buying up to 22,000 acres (8,900) along its perimeter from private owners. The proposal included land owned by Twin Pines. Negotiations with the Conservation Fund might explain why Twin Pines had yet to follow through on a financial commitment required before Georgia regulators could make a final decision on its mining permit. The Environmental Protection Division recently confirmed Twin Pines had been notified in February 2024 that it needed to set aside $2 million for future restoration of the mining site. The company never followed through in the 16 months before the sale was announced.

Walmart (WMT) Pays $10 Million Fine to Settle Lawsuit over Money Transfer Fraud

Walmart (WMT) has agreed to pay a $10 million fine to settle a U.S. Federal Trade Commission civil lawsuit accusing the world's largest retailer of ignoring warning signs that scam artists leveraged its money transfer service to bilk consumers out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Confident Investing Starts Here: Walmart has also agreed not to process money transfers it suspects are fraudulent, or help sellers and telemarketers it believes are using its services to commit fraud. 'Electronic money transfers are one of the most common ways that scammers tell consumers to send them money, because once it's sent, it's gone for good,' said Christopher Mufarrige, director of the FTC Consumer Protection Bureau. Bentonville, Arkansas-based Walmart did not admit or deny wrongdoing in settling the case. In its complaint, the FTC accused Walmart of turning a blind eye to fraudsters who used its money transfer service to target consumers. Walmart acts as an agent for money transfers by companies such as MoneyGram and Western Union (WU). Tricksters The FTC said fraudsters used many schemes via Walmart, including impersonating Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents, impersonating family members, and telling victims they won lotteries or sweepstakes but owed fees to collect their winnings. The judge dismissed part of the FTC's legal claim last year but let the regulator pursue most of its case. Walmart appealed that decision. The $10 million settlement effectively ends Walmart's appeal. WMT stock is up 6% this year. Is WMT Stock a Buy? average WMT price target of $109.71 implies 14.14% upside from current levels.
