Shaan Rais is a Personal Brand Development Coach and the founder of Omni Solutions Consultation, a firm committed to Leadership Development and Personal Branding. Hailing from Harlem, New York, Shaan grew up in the late 80s and ‘90s during the infamous War On Drugs; Harlem was at the epicenter, and many of his peers fell victim to the times; Shaan credits “God’s grace and mercy” for his survival during this time. His early childhood experiences and survival story shaped his belief that a person’s circumstances did not dictate their life. Instead, life’s successes and failures directly result from choices and decisions, actions and discipline.

Shaan’s first paradigm shift made him determined to leverage his early experiences into life lessons that would serve him in business. His clients and team are often reminded of one of his earliest lessons “Once you change the narrative for yourself, you can change the narrative for everyone connected to you.” Meaning that our personal decisions have the power to impact those around us.

Shaan’s second paradigm shift occurred at 30 years old when he realized that to create impact and significance; he had to finish something he started a decade earlier… College. Shaan obtained not one but two Master’s Degrees. One in Organizational Development and Change and one in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. His Harlem roots instilled a deep desire to serve people from similar backgrounds with an Evidence-Based Approach. By 2019, Shaan was a successful consultant for the state of New York, building a thriving speaking and coaching firm on the side while pursuing a dual Ph.D. in Organizational Development and Change and EdD for Leadership for Change. The pandemic halted life and the economy. As a speaker, Shaan’s firm was heavily impacted. During this time, Shaan formed the Leadership Leverage Executive Coaching Community, realizing that the market was filled with men and women with the education, experience, and expertise to lead. Still, they didn’t have a personal brand or deep understanding of business development. Shaan released his first signature course, Branded Like A Leader, to further support his growing leadership community. As a result, hundreds of leaders have learned how to turn their businesses into six and seven-figure personal brands. Others have grown their personal brand and leadership skill within their organizations and doubled and tripled their income, impact, and independence as a result.

With the success of his clients, Shaan shifted his goal from helping as many people as possible to ensuring that he had a team, systems, and processes in place to multiply his impact and reach. With a team in place, Shaan amassed sales of $450K using Authenticity Marketing, no ad, no ‘conventional’ sales model, no funnel, and no campaign. Shaan credits his success to hard work and his homegrown team of renegades”, often joking that his team “sleeps upside down hanging by their toenails and eat bullets.”

In 24 months, Shaan and his team of renegades have released several courses under the Like A Leader methodology: Branded Like A Leader, Coaching Like A Leader, Consulting Like A Leader, Closing Like A Leader, Speaking Like A Leader and Marketing Like A Leader. Shaan’s signature program has facilitated hundreds of career pivots and successful transitions to entrepreneurship.

Also working with organizations to develop their leaders through the principles of Personal Branding and Leadership Development using his 4-prong patented methodology: Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, Emotional Intelligence and Authenticity these leaders have Added Multiple Zeros to their company’s valuation and global impact.

His motto is “you build the world, the same way you build a company, you build the people.”
