Personal Details

Bio

Awatif is the Founder of Awe Horizons LLC, an innovative company offering workshops to business managers and entrepreneurs helping them utilize their talent to create empowering and healthy workplaces.

Awatif is a Fulbright scholar with fifteen years international work experience, ten of which with a multinational organization, British American Tobacco, working for them out of Dubai (U.A.E.), Hamburg (Germany), London (U.K.) and Algiers (Algeria). She started her career in IT before moving on to business project management, marketing intelligence, HR reward analyst and finally Head of HR at BAT.

Awatif is passionate about organizations that are inspiring, motivating, safe and fun workplaces. She has great appreciation for the role of emotional intelligence in achieving competitive advantage and is an advocate for leadership skills across all levels. She has made it her mission to encourage more organizations to take the lead in employee development and engagement, creating the next generation of super-duper workplaces.

Her last role as Head of HR for British American Tobacco taught her the importance of balancing strategic business objectives with employee aspirations. She wants to share her knowledge and experiences to help both companies and their employees reach new horizons where tranquility exists between life and work. This is the mission of her company, Awe Horizons.

In the words of Ralf Waldo Emerson, Awatif truly believes “unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow”. With that as her moto, Awatif finds herself constantly hungry for challenges. And although she is proud of all her achievements, the one dearest to her heart is the Fulbright scholarship to complete her MBA.

Creating Inspiring Workplaces
Full day
(View workshop agenda)

There is nothing like working in an organization that not only you love, but one that helps you grow in your professional and personal life. Imagine that! Why can’t every workplace be like that?

Developing Healthy Work Cultures
Full day
(View workshop agenda)

Culture is the DNA of the organization, it cannot be copied or replicated. In this workshop, we will look at six key indicators that give an organization its identity and measures its health.

From Manager to Coach
Full day
(View workshop agenda)

More and more organizations are turning their attention towards employee engagement and development. Coaching is a key skill in creating a fully engaged workforce and productive culture that empowers employees to excel.

Effective Feedback Workshop
4 hours
(View workshop agenda)

Not all feedback is created equal! This workshop will teach you how to use feedback as a tool for impactful and lasting results.

Building Your Leadership Charter
Full day
(View workshop agenda)

This workshop has four parts. It should ideally be spread over multiple days, with some gap in between, to allow full reflection on the material presented and conduct self and team analysis.

Talent Pipeline Management
Full day
(View workshop agenda)

Performance management as we know it is changing. There is a paradigm shift in the way it is viewed, constructed and assessed. More and more businesses are moving away from the annual performance review to more regular check-ins using coaching skills to drive the performance of the organization as a whole.

Negotiation Skills
Full day
(View workshop agenda)

Think about the last time you bought a car, negotiated your pay, agreed with a customer on a price, or got consensus with your kids on where to dine. How did it go? Were you happy with the outcome? Did you get what you wanted?

Change Management
4 hours
(View workshop agenda)

They say nobody likes change, but I guarantee you once all fears of change are addressed, resistance will fade. This workshop will start exactly there, by addressing sources of change resistance and how to overcome them.

Strategy Development
4 hours
(View workshop agenda)

This workshop will start by defining a strategy, and the difference between a corporate strategy and a business strategy. We will talk about the industry life-cycle and discuss the macro-level factors.

Goal Setting
1 hour
(View workshop agenda)
Diversity & Inclusion
4 hours
(View workshop agenda)
Business Ethics
4 hours
(View workshop agenda)

The workshop is equipped with a case study exercise and a group reflection exercise to drive the message home.
