283. Lessons from CFO turned Everest climber Mohamed Isa
In this episode of That Voice Podcast, I’m joined by Mohamed Isa, a former CFO who managed over $500M before stepping away from the corporate world to climb Everest and reinvent himself as a global leadership speaker.
We cover a lot of ground in this conversation - from practical communication strategies for technical professionals, to powerful life lessons on reinvention, courage, and backing yourself.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
- Why communication - not just numbers - is the key to influence in the boardroom
- Simple ways to make complex ideas land (including storytelling and “before & after” thinking)
- How to create clear, impactful presentations without overwhelming your audience
- Mohamed’s philosophy on reinventing yourself every 7 years
- The mindset shift from career success to life fulfilment
- Why investing in your voice (and yourself) changes everything
- And the ultimate lesson from Everest.
Whether you’re in a technical role, stepping into leadership, or feeling called to something new, this episode is your reminder that it’s never too late to find your voice and take the next step.
