Finding opportunities in every challenge | Elie Medawar | Leadership Activators Beirut Edition #8

When I think about Elie Medawar, four ideas come
to mind:


Behavioural flexibility

Leveraging strengths

Learning machine

Contagious enthusiasm



Elie started Medbox at a very challenging time in his life. There
were red signals everywhere. He had just left his job, and he was
about to become a dad. Everyone was dissuading him from starting
his own business and saw it as a risky and crazy move. Yet, he
took a leap of faith and made it happen anyway. Fueled by every
challenge that came his way, driven by the purpose of saving
lives, and for three years now, he’s been setting himself bold
goals and overachieving them.
