Signature keynote
Known. Not Done.
Closing the gap between knowing and doing.
You may already know what people should be doing. You may even know what you have tried. But do you know what is keeping the current behavior in place?
Dr. Nizar Baidoun
Behavioral Strategist
Find the root.Change the results.
I learned where results come from by working inside them.
The problem you see is not always the problem driving the results. I help leaders find what is really driving the behavior, then change it, so the results follow.

How I think
What you see is only the surface.
Leaders usually meet the symptom: the missed target, the resignation, the training that didn’t stick, the change initiative that stalled. But the behavior producing it often sits deeper. That is where I start.

Often beneath

About
I started on the inside.
Before I advised leaders, I worked inside the organizations, systems, and pressures they now face. That is why I start with what people actually do, not what organizations say should happen.
“I tell leaders what I see, then help them change it.”
- 1997BusinessSeven years on the commercial side
I learned early that results are not abstract. They are counted, measured, and felt in the day-to-day reality of a business.
- 2004BankingTen years building capability at scale
I led professional development in a major Kuwaiti bank, including building its first Training Centre from scratch, with seven training tracks. Rated Outstanding eight years in a row.
- 2020HealthcareFour years building a function from the ground up
As the hospital’s first Head of Professional Development, I created everything from diagnostics and assessment to training and governance. Rated Outstanding after my first year.
- 2000 – TodayBehavioral StrategyWhat I practiced became how I work
Across 25+ years, I kept returning to one question: what is really driving the behavior behind the result? That question became my practice, strengthened by PhD research. Today, leaders and organizations bring me in to find the root and change the results.
