Lessons From Leaders
Meet The Team
My name is Aaliyan Khan (he/him). I am an entrepreneur and aspiring life coach passionate about personal development and social impact. I am studying at Queen's University in the Bachelor of Commerce program and will get my Master's in Education/Business someday after. Growing up, I became very interested in learning about other people's stories and how they chose to bring their ideas to life - opening my eyes towards entrepreneurship. In 2017, I started an e-commerce business called The Positivity Project that I ran for four years with my team, teaching me the ins and outs of entrepreneurship and social impact. I began sharing my experiences and lessons from entrepreneurship with younger students, which eventually led me to sit on WE Charity's Board of Directors to advise on their social entrepreneurship programming and operations in Canada. With my initial learnings from the entrepreneurship and nonprofit space, I decided to gain some corporate experience by joining Microsoft - where I currently am! My ultimate goal is to work in the education/non-profit sector while coaching people to become globally the best they can be. I'm excited to share my journey and all the lessons I gain along the way, and if there's anything you'd like to hear more about or have me share - I'd love to hear from you! Thank you for being here, and I hope I can inspire you to make a difference and live your best authentic life!

My name is Alex Priatel and I am a third-year student. I have lived in Vancouver all my life before moving away to where I am currently at Queen's University. While I am very passionate about athletics and fitness, I also really enjoy business and becoming the best version of myself. Both my grandfathers were entrepreneurs and my mom and dad operate businesses; therefore, I have been surrounded by business my whole life. I am unsure about exactly what I want to do in the future, I just know it will be business-related. I have participated in entrepreneurship pannels, studied economics, marketing, finance, accounting, sales, however, have not fallen in love with any specific field yet. Nevertheless, one thing I am sure of is that I want to learn how the people at the top got to where they are today. I want to understand their mindset and learn their everyday habits and thinking. I believe that the best way to learn is from those who have done it the best. I want to be inspired by the most efficient and effective people and start implementing little changes in my routine to take action and live without regrets. However, it is difficult to find the time to read a lot. This blog is intended to communicate similar messages in a shorter amount of time. After identifying a problem that we and many others have, we decided creating this blog could be of great use to many.
