Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Diyari Abdah Re-Invents Himself as an International Speaker, Best-Selling Author and Business Coach

CAMBRIDGE, England, Oct. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- There was a time during Dr. Diyari Abdah's schooling years when he found himself "a man without a country" – but now, while maintaining his thriving Cambridge, England cosmetic and restorative dentistry practice Dentastique, he has become a true citizen of the world, reinventing himself – and growing his remarkable sphere of influence – as a powerful, in-demand international speaker, best-selling author, teacher and business coach.

The Kurdish-Iraqi born implant expert chose dentistry for the simple reason that he wanted to help people. He loved the idea of working with his hands and the idea of changing people's lives on the spot, restoring their teeth with a personal touch. When he graduated from dental school at the University of Bucharest in Romania, Dr. Abdah was denied renewal of his passport from the Iraqi government in order to force him to return and serve in the war against Iran at the time. In the meantime, by law, he wasn't able to stay in Romania under their Communist regime.

While his classmates were opening their practices around the world, he had nowhere to go and no passport. He moved to Sweden as an immigrant/refugee and was received with open arms – only Sweden didn't recognize his Romanian degree so he had to enroll in dental school all over again. Later, realizing that the market for dentists in Sweden was small, he relocated his young, growing family to England, where he opened his first practice in the mid 90s.

Dr. Abdah's lifelong propensity for self reinvention made him a natural choice to contribute this year to co-write (with bestselling author and speaker Brian Tracy) the book The Winning Way: The World's Leading Entrepreneurs and Professionals Share How They Are Winning in Life and Business and You Can Too! On its day of release, The Winning Way reached best-seller status in three Amazon.com categories. He is now a member of the National Academy of Bestselling Authors.

Dr. Abdah's passion for both learning and teaching has been a foundational element of his life. When he moved to the UK, he started a Masters of Science program in implantology at the University of Warwick, and was the first dentist to graduate from there with an MSc in implant dentistry. He is currently a lecturer in that field there. In 2013, he also started an MBA program in Cambridge.

On the instructional side, his friendship and collaborations with Zig Ziglar's son Tom Ziglar, CEO of the Ziglar Corporation, and immersion into the legendary speaker's timeless teachings and philosophies of personal development and motivation success has led Dr. Abdah to become the UK's first Zig Ziglar Certified Legacy Trainer. While devoting his ideal 2.5 days to his Dentastique practice and serving as an Ambassador for Ziglar, Dr. Abdah has tapped into his powerful entrepreneurial skills to develop an exciting new coaching platform, Dental Coaching HQ.

In July 2014, Dr. Abdah held his first seminar under the Dental Coaching HQ banner, "The 7 Secrets Every Business Owner Should Know to Thrive in This Economy!" at the Heathrow Sheraton with Tom Ziglar. The event included a foundational segment called "The One Hour MBA" and others on goal setting and time management – both key ingredients to future success. Dr. Abdah's has a strong and growing social media presence, and many of his online "followers" are motivated by his quote: "You cannot prioritize if you don't know your priorities." Attendees included professionals from Poland, Germany and Latvia.

Dr. Abdah and Tom Ziglar have another seminar planned for December in London and have one in the works for early 2015 that will take place in Dubai – with an eventual eye towards creating events geared towards dental and other professionals in the U.S.

"All of these exciting teaching platforms and motivational speaking opportunities take me full circle back to the basics of who I am as a dental professional, small business owner and as a human being," he says. "The bottom line is, I care about people, and sharing is caring. So when I share my knowledge and wisdom with people, I am showing them how much I care."
