Sharon Pakir is a human behaviour expert, communication and executive presence coach, and leadership strategist. She works with C-suite executives, high-performing teams, and some of the world’s most influential organisations to develop powerful communicators, intentional leaders, and resilient, high-impact humans.
With coaching and facilitation experience in coaching over 10,000 people - Sharon’s approach draws on neuroscience, linguistics, elite performance, and real-world leadership. She translates complex human dynamics into practical tools that shift how people speak, lead, connect, and thrive — whether in boardrooms, on stages, or within rapidly evolving organisations.
Her work spans four pillars:
\* Executive Coaching & C-Suite Advisory
\* Corporate Communication & Leadership Training
\* Public Speaking & Keynote Presentations
\* Transformational Leadership Retreats
Sharon is known for creating psychologically safe yet energising environments where genuine transformation can take place. Her programs go beyond skill-building, empowering people to lead themselves first and then lead others with clarity, courage, and presence.
She has partnered with top-tier organisations including Shell, Boston Consulting Group, DP World, Etisalat, Accenture, ADNOC, Monash Health, and government ministries across the Middle East. From global leadership intensives to communication excellence programs for emerging leaders, she brings a rare blend of gravitas, warmth, and stagecraft to every room she enters.
She is also the founder of Invincible, a growing community for professional women, and is currently writing a multi-book series while building online programs to scale her impact globally.
Her own journey — as a world champion level performer and team coach, a mother of two, and a survivor of near-death medical trauma — fuels her fierce belief in human potential and the power of reinvention.
Dynamic, warm, and deeply engaging, Sharon brings both precision and presence to the stage, making her a trusted MC, facilitator, and speaker for high-profile events across the region.
In a landscape driven by clicks, speed, and algorithmic reward, depth is becoming a lost art. “Churnalism”, the recycling of online content, has replaced original reporting, leaving audiences skeptical and disengaged. With just 32% of Americans expressing trust in the media (Gallup), the challenge is clear: how can journalism reclaim substance in a digital age built for brevity? This session explores how newsrooms, platforms, and creators can harness technology to restore depth, context, and credibility in an attention-fractured world.
