Ahmed Toure knows a thing or two about high-pressure environments — after all, he’s spent the past 7 years as a defense attorney, where thinking clearly, communicating persuasively, and reading the room (and the jury) are all part of the job.
But long before the courtroom, Ahmed was already mastering the art of leadership. He’s been in leadership development since 2004, working with organizations, students, and professionals to help them grow in areas that actually matter — self-awareness, communication, conflict resolution, and emotional intelligence.
He’s been gracing the Leading To Change stages since 2007, not just as a facilitator, but as a host, keynote speaker, and trusted voice in rooms that require equal parts insight and inspiration. Whether he’s breaking down complex legal principles or guiding a team through the nuances of EQ, he brings a rare mix of humor, humility, and real-world experience. Ahmed's LTC clients range from the Carolinas to the Californias, with over 10,000 youth and adults taking part in his "rockstar" approach to the training experience.
He’s also a proud husband and father of two toddlers — which means his emotional intelligence is tested daily and his negotiation skills are razor-sharp (especially during bedtime routines). And while he’s quick to admit he has no game on the court, he’s a loyal fan of the Knicks, Raiders, and Yankees — which speaks volumes about his perseverance and ability to manage disappointment.
Known for his Rockstar Lifestyle, his sessions are engaging, practical, and full of those “aha” moments that stick with you long after the workshop ends. Ahmed Toure is a speaker who’s just as passionate about developing leaders as he is about laughing through the process - and we can't wait for you to experience this rockstar on the road!
