Mohammed Younus
A Certified Happiness Trainer, Skills Development Expert, and ICF-Credentialed Coach (ACC), with over 18 happy years of experience in training, coaching, and mentoring individuals and organizations. My journey has touched the lives of more than 350,000 people, supporting transformational change across workplaces, educational institutions, and communities.
A TEDx speaker, certified trainer and coach with credentials from globally recognized institutions like International Coaching Federation, Dale Carnegie and the Happiness Studies Academy, I use science-backed tools, behavioral insights, and humor to spark lasting impact.
I believe happiness isn’t a feel-good buzzword — it’s serious business. My work is rooted in a mission to promote deep, sustainable well-being, not fleeting positivity. Humor is not just my character strength; it’s my method to unlock learning, build connection, and create joy in every interaction.
Now based in Dubai, I’m strategically positioned to support the MENA region's vibrant, ever-evolving business landscape through high-impact training, executive coaching, and well-being initiatives.
Let’s create thriving people and thriving workplaces — one authentic smile at a time.
What I Do
Ambassador of Happiness
I champion the science of happiness as a strategic advantage—because happiness isn't just a feeling, it's serious business. Rooted in the SPIRE model, my approach empowers individuals and organizations to elevate their happiness quotient through practical, evidence-based tools. By weaving well-being into the fabric of workplace culture, I help teams unlock higher engagement, deeper fulfillment, and enhanced performance. Because when people thrive, organizations do too—and happy people don’t just feel better, they work better.
Career Catalyst
I help individuals uncover their true purpose and craft careers that feel deeply meaningful—because work should fuel joy, not drain it. Grounded in the powerful philosophy of Ikigai—the intersection of what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for—I guide people to align their personal values with professional fulfillment. I envision a world where people genuinely look forward to ‘Happy Mondays’, not just weekends. Through purposeful coaching and reflective dialogue, I help individuals reconnect with what truly drives them—shifting career mindsets and sparking a sense of direction, confidence, and contentment. One fulfilled individual at a time, we build a world where purpose meets passion.
Stand-up Motivator
I bring learning to life—by blending motivation with humor and transforming every session into a dynamic, memorable experience. Whether in-house or outbound, my facilitation style is energetic, inclusive, and tailored to diverse audiences. With a passion for crafting engaging and impactful learning journeys, I ensure that every program delivers more than just knowledge—it sparks transformation. True to the essence of my name, ‘You N Us,’ I champion collaboration, unity, and shared growth. My sessions aren’t just about training—they’re about creating a space where people feel inspired, connected, and empowered to thrive.
Performance Coaching
As an ICF-Credentialed Coach (ACC), I use powerful, evidence-based coaching methodologies to help individuals move from simply surviving to fully thriving. Rooted in well-being science and behavioral change, my coaching empowers people to take ownership of their lives—identifying growth paths, building new skills, and aligning with purpose. Together, we unlock the shift from stagnation to transformation, enabling lasting personal and professional breakthroughs.
