What does it take to survive and succeed in life? A genocide survivor and refugee of the Khmer Rouge Killing Fields of Cambodia, Dr. Rahim developed the S.A.L.T. model of Surviving, Adapting, Loving and Transforming as a means of helping him to overcome the struggles of his youth, including prejudice, abuse, childhood violence, and dyslexia. Sharing candidly from the dramatic, and sometimes heartbreaking details, Emad reveals how the leadership principles of S.A.L.T. helped him to develop the courage, determination and perseverance that led to his becoming a multi-credentialed, highly-sought-after academic executive, educator, award-winning author, mentor, and his greatest joy, husband and father.
