Canadian Alliance of Speakers & Trainers
Our Journey
From Canada to the World
Since 2010, CAST has been on a mission: to transform organizations into high-performance, future-ready workplaces. What began in Ottawa, Canada, has grown into a global network of Learning & Development experts delivering practical, high-impact learning solutions in Arabic and English across Canada, the GCC, and beyond.
In the Middle East, through CAST Experts FZE and CAST Ai, we combine global best practices with local insight to ensure every program is relevant, practical, and drives real results. Our story is built around four core pillars:
-
Customized Training – Tailored programs that develop leadership, communication, sales, and operational excellence.
-
L&D Consulting – Strategic guidance to align learning with business goals and build lasting learning cultures.
-
Ai Leadership Advising & Training - Assessments, and hands-on sessions designed to help leadership teams harness AI for strategic impact
-
Coaching & Mentoring – Empowering leaders at every level through structured coaching and feedback.
From Ottawa to the GCC, our journey is about turning potential into performance—and people into leaders.

We partner with our clients to create sustainable, long-term impact by enhancing leadership capability, strengthening teams, and elevating workplace culture.
