In her inspiring and decidedly relevant new book, Hanane Benkhallouk shows readers how to accept change, blossom and remain significant in an increasingly uncertain world. “Seeds of Change,” which is now available via major players in the global book distribution field, is a candid, well-thought-out hands-on toolkit and guide for anyone who wants to learn how to surf and come out on top during this wave of disruption.
In the book that is anticipated to have an inspiring and profound effect on its target audience, the Moroccan Dubai-based author, senior consultant, entrepreneur and global speaker delves into the five steps or SEEDS.
