Omar Sharif

Omar Sharif is a keynote speaker, entrepreneur and the author of Breakthrough: From the Streets to Success (Hachette), which reached the Amazon Top 40 in its first week.

Homeless at eighteen and living with a stutter, Omar rebuilt his life through self-development, which started at fourteen when his father took him to personal development events. He went on to build businesses, from a meal prep company to a fitness business and a coaching practice serving clients in more than 23 countries.

In 2018 HM King Charles III chose Omar as the recipient of a Pride of Britain Award and told him the news in person at Clarence House. He contributed to The Oxford Textbook on Criminology, and he has appeared on BBC Breakfast, Good Morning Britain, Channel 4, Insider and The High Performance Podcast.

Today Omar has delivered more than 250 keynotes for organisations including National Grid (FTSE 100), Accenture (S&P 500), LinkedIn and Enterprise Mobility, and for 200+ schools and universities. He is based in London.
