Soulful Storyteller

Through her keynotes and workshops, Dr. Zebian empowers individuals and teams to move beyond performance and toward purpose, creating spaces where psychological safety, empathy, and growth coexist. Her approach blends research with lived experience, offering both the science and the soul of sustainable change, helping people cultivate emotional intelligence, resilience, and well-being.

Before becoming a globally recognized voice on healing and empowerment, Dr. Zebian spent over a decade teaching in schools, leading initiatives focused on mental health, equity, and leadership development. She also experienced firsthand the challenges of displacement, belonging, and rebuilding identity, which shaped her belief that true growth requires compassion, self-awareness, and the courage to confront discomfort.

Dr. Najwa Zebian (pronounced nej-wuh zay-bee-in) is an author, educator, and speaker whose work bridges the worlds of leadership, inclusion, and mental health. With a Doctorate in Educational Leadership, she has developed a research-based framework for cultivating authentic, inclusive, and emotionally healthy organizations rooted in culturally responsive and transformative leadership.

«The Life that’s Waiting»

In "The Life That’s Waiting", Brianna Wiest opens the "daylight" part of the "Two Sides of Healing" experience — a space of clarity, cool tones, and mental awakening. Speaking in the atmosphere of cold morning light, clean lines, and blue-silver hues, she invites participants into the inner landscape where honest self-understanding begins.
This keynote is a journey into awareness: recognizing automatic reactions, seeing the beliefs that quietly shape our lives, and choosing presence instead of impulse. Brianna shows that stepping into the life that’s truly waiting for you requires courage — the courage to stop repeating old patterns, to break cycles of self-sabotage, and to claim a path aligned with your authentic self.
Her ideas don’t just make you think; they make you feel. They soften the inner noise and create the mental clarity needed to see what your life is asking of you. With bestselling works like The Mountain Is You, 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think, and The Pivot Year, Brianna has become a guiding voice for millions seeking focus, truth, and inner freedom.
This session sets the tone for the entire evening: beginning in the realm of the mind, in a bright and transparent space, before the event gradually moves toward warmth, softness, and emotional depth.

«The Art of Resilience»

As the environment shifts into the "night" side of the experience — warm light, candlelit glow, soft textiles, gentle ambient music — Najwa Zebian welcomes participants into "The Art of Resilience: A Mental Health Approach". This keynote embodies the emotional dimension of healing, where vulnerability becomes strength and presence becomes power.
Through stories, research, and grounded mental health practices, Najwa shows that resilience is not about holding feelings in, but about understanding and working with them. She explores how emotional intelligence shapes our relationships, our choices, and our ability to move through stress, challenge, and change with integrity.
Here, in a setting filled with warmth and quiet intimacy, Najwa teaches how to sit with your pain, how to soften rather than harden, and how to build a life rooted in compassion toward yourself. The atmosphere of night — velvety shadows, candle flicker, and a sense of returning home — mirrors the journey into the heart: deeper, slower, more honest.
This part of the evening naturally prepares participants for the final reflective moment of "Two Sides of Healing" — the letter to your future self, written in the same soft night mood. It’s a private promise, sealed in candlelight, and mailed back months later as a reminder that healing unfolds over time.
