He discusses the importance of listening deeply, developing others, and staying flexible within complex systems, while creating sustainable frameworks that empower people and communities.

From mentoring emerging leaders to navigating the halls of government, Khaim offers a grounded and inspiring look at what it means to lead with purpose, humility, and heart.
