The Keys to Mental Resilience with Shahab Anari

In this episode, Roxanne Derhodge converses with Shahab Anari about his career shift, journey to Canada, and the role of resilience in challenging times. They delve into the influence of culture on mindset, strategies for building resilience, and overcoming business adversities. The dialogue also covers dealing with fear and uncertainty, and reflections on personal growth.

I think at one time or another, we all have setbacks in trying to keep up a positive and resilient mindset. Especially now after dealing with COVID for so long and another wave hitting and causing more setbacks. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome speaker and trainer, Shahab Anari to share some of his best tips on staying mentally resilient.

Shahab Anari, MD is an international speaker and author on resilience and personal branding. He is a living example of mental toughness himself. Although he was categorized as ‘non-gifted’ as a kid, he came first among more than one million contenders in the fierce nation-wide University Entrance Exam in his country of birth in 1997.

So, after graduation, he made the big transition to become a speaker/trainer, now having served people in 19 different countries. Although he had a very difficult first couple of years after immigrating to Canada, he was recognized as one of the Top 25 Canadian Immigrants in 2020. Shahab is also the founder of North Star Success, a world-class Personal Branding Agency in Toronto.
