🌍 LEADING WITH PURPOSE: THE VISION AND VOICE OF
DR. MANAL FAKHOURY
FROM TEDX OCALA TO TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH LEADERSHIP AND EDUCATION
INTERVIEWED BY JOANNE MURRAY
EDITED BY COACH NICOLA WAUGH, SISTAZAS EMPOWERED MAGAZINE
When Dr. Manal Fakhoury speaks, the room leans in. Her presence carries
both intellect and compassion, a balance shaped by a lifetime of learning,
service, and purpose. As the dynamic founder of Fakhoury Leadership
International and the dedicated curator of TEDx Ocala, she has
meticulously dedicated her life to creating platforms that spark profound
transformation and amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard.
“LEADERSHIP BEGINS WITH SELF-AWARENESS, GROWS THROUGH SERVICE, AND MULTIPLIES
THROUGH EDUCATION.”A SPARK THAT BECAME A GLOBAL VISION
The inception of Fakhoury Leadership
International began with a simple but
profoundly powerful conversation that ignited
a global movement. While deeply involved
with the nonprofit United Voices, a young man
expressed his earnest desire for leadership
training, not just theoretical knowledge, but
real, practical, character-driven leadership that
could make a tangible difference in his life and
community. That heartfelt request became the
potent seed for what would rapidly evolve
into an international movement, touching
countless lives.
At the time, Dr. Fakhoury was rigorously
pursuing her MBA, a period of intense
academic focus. Within an astonishingly short
span of days, fueled by a clear vision and
unwavering determination, she had the
institute meticulously registered and fully
operational. What began as an immediate and
compassionate response to one person’s
specific need blossomed into a robust and
globally recognized platform for
comprehensive leadership development.
“I REALIZED LEADERSHIP ISN’T ABOUT
TITLES; IT’S ABOUT INITIATIVE,
ENGAGEMENT, AND THE COURAGE TO
CREATE CHANGE,” SHE ELOQUENTLY
STATES, ENCAPSULATING HER
PHILOSOPHY. TEDX OCALA: BUILDING A
PLATFORM FOR IDEAS WORTH SPREADING
