TEDx University of Birmingham Dubai Welcomes Dr. Soha Chahine

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 16th July 2025 – Forward Training & Consulting has started a new chapter in the leadership journey, as the company’s founder and Organizational Psychologist Dr. Soha Chahine spoke on the TEDx stage at TEDx University Of Birmingham Dubai, named The Silent Algorithm: How Hidden Emotional Codes Shape Our Future.

Discovering Emotional Scripts and the Function of Human Intelligence

Dr. Chahine discussed in the talk how repetitive emotional scripts—such as performance pressure, disconnection, and loss of agency, quietly steer human actions in the workplace. She presented Human Intelligence (HI) as the essential counterweight to Artificial Intelligence (AI), challenging leaders to reunite with emotional agility, presence, and authenticity.

Feel to Lead is Dr. Chahine’s Key Message:

“We optimize machines, but not ourselves,” remarked Dr. Soha Chahine at the talk.

“We’ve been running on emotional scripts that disconnect us from authenticity.”

“ The future doesn’t just belong to Artificial Intelligence (AI). It belongs to those who still know how to feel.”

Forward’s Mission: Activating Emotionally Intelligent Leadership

This personal achievement highlights Dr. Chahine’s ongoing purpose through Forward Training & Consulting: equipping leaders, teams, and organizations with the inner ability to connect, resilience, and emotionally intelligent leadership. Her company assists government agencies, multi-national corporations, and rapidly expanding organizations throughout the GCC in executive coaching, cultural change, and resilience programs that incorporate behavioral science and experiential learning.

Emotional Agility as a Strategic Leadership Competency

Dr. Soha Chahine’s TEDx talk highlights Forward’s conviction that emotional dexterity, self-knowledge, and human connection are not “soft skills,” but strategic competencies essential to managing complexity.

Author, Speaker, and People-First Leadership Thought Leader

She is also a co-author of The Talent Matrix Playbook, a hands-on guide to infusing emotional intelligence hiring and onboarding into performance management. Her expertise has appeared in Harvard Business Review Arabia and on top-tier media outlets throughout the region, solidifying her reputation as a go-to voice in people-centric leadership of the future.
