A Roadmap to Purpose & Impact

Unlocking Your
One And Only Power

I’d spent my life collecting pieces, each one unique and valuable. But they seemed scattered, disconnected. It wasn’t until a fateful year that I realized they weren’t just pieces – they were the intricate parts of a masterpiece waiting to be unveiled.

In 2013, three different events in three different countries conspired to teach me one undeniable truth: I am “The One And Only”. But so is everyone else. Between Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and India, my life was preparing me for a turning point that transformed my confused self and devastated career.

In this book, you will go through the journey I took in these three stations. And before you know it, you’ll see that it’s your journey as well. While you live the experience, the subtle knots of your career life will be disentangled and demystified. It won’t end there.

As you acknowledge the conclusion that “You Are The One And Only”, you will get to know the seven ways to live and embrace being the OAO (One And Only). A roadmap of five steps will guide you to put the OAO factor into action immediately.

To truly make a difference and leave an unparalleled impact, there is only one way—to be The One And Only. The good news is: you already are. Now, it’s time to discover how and start living like an OAO.

About the author

Mohamed Shukri

Mohamed Ali Shukri (MBA, CTL, AS, DTM) is the first person from the Middle East to reach to the Toastmasters International “World Championship of Public Speaking” finals. He achieved this feat in Washington DC (2006). In 2020, he also became the first from the Middle East, and the 88th globally, to have earned the coveted “Accredited Speaker” designation from Toastmasters International. Between and beyond his “first” and “best” accolades, Mohamed learned how to be the “only”, “The One And Only”.

By opening up to what life has to offer, and what he can offer life, Mohamed found a lot of joy in allowing the flow of his gifts and talents expand and take creative shapes and forms in the valleys of the world he saw and served.

This resulted in an extraordinarily successful career made by what initially seemed to be ordinary dots. Mohamed’s diverse skills and experiences came together in inventive ways, and ended up taking him to play key roles, in key projects, with key clients across the world. ‘Play’ – therefore – became the secret and center of Mohamed’s career philosophy.

His message to the readers is: “By staying true to yourself, being appreciative of all what you have, and putting it in the service of the betterment of the world and humans, you will live a profound, profitable, and peaceful life.”
