I was born in 1983 in Mogadishu with a retinal dystrophy. as a result, I have very limited sight & I rely on my white cane to navigate independently. My journey of independence & adventure started at the age of 7 when my father boarded me a plane alone to receive my education in Bahrain.
I enjoyed every minute of my adventures in the 52 countries that I have visited mostly alone. I am a Motivational Speaker, Paralympic athlete in Goalball, a master’s holder in International HR Management majoring in Diversity & Inclusion. I am also certified life coach focusing on igniting sparks of inspirations. In addition, I am a trainer in all

What People Are Saying
We express our gratitude to Mr Yahye who joined us as the speaker on Transworld Corporate Responsibility Day. He came down to our office despite his busy schedule and presented an enlightening session on Special Ability - Converting challenges into opportunities for the visually impaired. The session was well attended by Transworld-ites and helped every one of us to have a positive attitude to look beyond disabilities and work on special abilities. The most admired part of the session was his positive attitude, his acceptance to the challenges he faced and yet overcoming with his never-give-up spirit. His life inspires us to look at each challenge as potential opportunity for growth and his words motivated each of us to dream, learn and do more in life. His ability to articulate his thoughts in a straight yet touching manner is truly commendable.

Inclusive Horizons delivered an inclusion workshop and our senior students loved it! The humanness and humour that were portrayed throughout the 3 hour session inspired us all. Yahye is a humble and authentic speaker, connecting with his audience in many different ways, keeping the audience mesmerised and enthused. The 'elephant' in the room was definitely gone at the end with all attendees committed to translate diversity into action.

I was introduced to Yahye by a friend in common when planning a workshop for people of determination. Yahye came onboard to support the event and coach over 20 designers on the subject of accessibility providing guidance and inspiration to all participants. I have organized dozens of design gatherings in the past year, but the one with Yahye was one of the most memorable for everyone involved. He was incredibly supportive and managed to not only teach a lot of new concepts, but also get everyone to focus on what truly matters. He is an exceptional person and I'd love to have more opportunities to work with him.

Mr. Yahye is an intuitive, a wonderful listener, responsive, and caring. From our first coaching session together, he helped me clarify my thoughts on my personal life as well as my career challenges and identify what I needed to do to move forward. He helped me see the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ by breaking down the steps I needed to take into small actions. Mr. Yahye saw the best in me and helped me finding my strength and build a plan for how to put those strengths and passions to improve my life quality. I’m very grateful to have worked with him during a challenging period and I would highly recommend him as both a career and personal coach - in fact, this combination is what makes him such a wonderful coach.
