In this video and podcast episode: we talk with Faris Aranki and learn about his innovative business formula for success, including a creative way to use Pokemon for project prioritization.

Faris Aranki is the CEO of Shiageto Consulting, an innovative consulting firm blending strategy and emotional intelligence; we will discuss how Faris went from high school teacher to CEO and all the skills he picked up along the way.

Having spent over 20 years delivering strategic change for various businesses around the world, Faris has experienced first-hand the fine differences between success and failure. He came to realize that often what hinders institutions from achieving their goals isn’t the quality of their ideas; it’s their ability to engage effectively with others at all levels and remove barriers in their way; aspects he is an expert in. To build on his passion for this Faris set up Shiageto Consulting in 2019 to help businesses and individuals improve their strategic effectiveness.

On top of leading Shiageto, Faris is now an accomplished speaker, writer and contributor for a variety of outlets.
