<\/em><\/p>\n\u201c’CURVE BENDERS\u2019 focuses on a roadmap of how strategic relationships can dramatically alter our non-linear growth trajectory against the forces that will shape the future of how we’ll work, live, play and serve others,\u201d said David Nour. \u201cI hope that this book offers some motivation but also will serve as a guide to what you want in life and how you can get it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since 2008, Nour has had his eleven books translated into eight languages thus far and include the bestseller \u201cRelationship Economics\u00ae\u201d (Wiley), \u201cCo-Create\u201d (St. Martin’s Press), and now \u201cCurve Benders\u201d (Wiley, 2021).<\/p>\n
Nour serves as a trusted advisor and coaches global corporate leaders. He is an adjunct professor at the Goizueta Business School at Emory University and was named to the Global Gurus Top 30 Leadership Professionals and the Thinkers 50 Radar Class of 2021 lists. A Forbes Leadership contributor on the Future of Work, and an\u00a0Inc.\u00a0contributor on Relationship Economics, Nour\u2019s unique insights have been featured in a variety of prominent publications, including\u00a0The Wall Street Journal,\u00a0The New York Times,\u00a0Fast Company,\u00a0Huffington Post Business,\u00a0Entrepreneur and\u00a0Knowledge@Wharton. He\u2019s also the host of the popular \u201cCurve Benders\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n
In addition to his advisory roles and executive coaching, Nour delivers an estimated 50 customized keynotes annually for global brands, association conferences, and academic forums on strategic business relationships and organizational value creation. Tailoring content for audiences from boardrooms to ballrooms, delivered in-person or high-res virtually, he shares unique insights and an independent perspective, peppered with interactive moments and real-world takeaways, to inspire people to think and behave differently in the face of continued global disruptions.<\/p>\n
Born in Iran, Nour immigrated to the U.S. as a teenager with $100, limited family ties and no fluency in English. He graduated from Georgia State University with a bachelor\u2019s degree in business management and went on to earn an Executive MBA from the Goizueta Business School at Emory University. He resides in Atlanta, GA, with his family.<\/p>\n
