As the Co-founder and Chief Trainer of SMART INSPIRATION UAE TRAINING, Elizabeth Percy has been at the forefront of innovative personality development and behavioral skills training since 2019. The training methods incorporate cutting-edge genetic behavior analysis (RGB Analysis) alongside traditional training techniques, offering a scientifically grounded approach to personal and professional growth.

The interview explores the transformative edge of RGB Analysis in understanding and nurturing individual potential, from prenatal influences to adult behavior. Elizabeth shares her center’s unique approach to personalized learning, emphasizing the connection between diet, physical activity, and cognitive development with emotional well-being. She also shares insights on achieving success through overall well-being and her vision for education and personal growth in today’s ever-evolving world.

• How did your early experiences shape your professional and personal development?

Growing up with a mother in the medical profession and being influenced by the royal families of Kuwait, Doha, and the UAE profoundly shaped my approach to both personal and professional development.

My mother was a multifaceted individual, but above all, she was focused and courageous and viewed her work as a sacred calling. Her passion for working abroad led her to a position in the Kuwait palace, as I was born in Kuwait. I’ve inherited her strength and endurance and cultivated a pragmatic approach to navigating life’s challenges more effectively.

I’m deeply appreciative of the royal families and my career in aviation, which I’ve had the privilege to work with in the GCC region in my roles in PR, Corporate Communications and Royal Protocol. I’ve come to cherish the principles of life I’ve encountered, internalizing them to the point where they’ve become an integral part of my character.

• How has your expertise in genetic behavior analysis, journalism, corporate communications, and international protocol contributed to your holistic approach to training and development?

SMART INSPIRATION UAE TRAINING began as a career-focused center, thanks to our visionary founder Dr. Eng. Mohamed Ibrahim Al Ali. We set out to guide both children and adults, teaching essential life skills.

As we worked with our adult students, I found myself thinking about opportunities my mother never envisaged in her career aspirations in the medical field. This reflection, combined with my background in journalism, PR, and corporate communications, led me to think about how I could include her medical understanding of life in personality development.

In our second year, during my signature course, “Power of You, Power of Thought, and Power of Words,” a student introduced us to RGB Analysis. Something clicked within our management team. We realized that if there was a scientific approach to understanding behavior, we needed to embrace it fully. We committed ourselves to learning it thoroughly and being an affiliate of the research organization that trained us in the science.

RGB Analysis offers deep insights into a person’s communication style, career potential, emotional state, and learning preferences. By incorporating this comprehensive method, we’re filling a crucial gap in education. We’re moving beyond exam scores to help each learner become more self-aware and grow.

Our goal is simple but powerful: to nurture well-rounded individuals who are prepared for life’s personal and professional challenges. We believe this approach leads to more meaningful and lasting growth for everyone who walks through our doors.

• As the Co-founder and Chief Trainer of SMART INSPIRATION UAE TRAINING, what major milestone has stood out since its inception in 2019?

Work is my calling, and I approach it with utmost dedication. This means I’m available when needed, even if it’s a 9:00 PM office visit request. My experience working with GCC royal families has taught me the importance of being responsive, especially in emergencies. Some situations demand immediate attention and decisions.

I personally oversee every consultation, which allows me to carefully assess the information provided and determine the most suitable course for each learner, whether child or adult. I don’t believe in prescribing a course outline without first understanding the individual who will be trained.

Our greatest strength lies in offering individual training sessions. Our learners appreciate this approach as it creates a relaxed environment where they can learn and communicate openly. We maintain strict confidentiality for each individual. The transformation we witness in these one-on-one settings is remarkable and often surpasses what can be achieved in group classrooms.

Even when I do conduct group sessions, I limit them to up to six participants. My co-trainer and I meet with each student individually and then compare notes to determine the best way to impart knowledge, always keeping our finger on the pulse of the student’s needs.

At SMART INSPIRATION UAE TRAINING Center, we, ourselves are in a constant state of learning. Our diverse learner profiles keep us on our toes. We address a holistic approach to learning to fill the gaps that children face in schools, youth encounters in colleges and universities, or professional experiences in workplaces across the UAE and worldwide.

Interestingly, more international students travel to us for learning than those in the United Arab Emirates. Recently, I conducted a two-week session for a 17-year-old student from the USA who flew to Dubai for preparation before starting university in Texas.

Our podcasts, which feature the experiences of our learners, have gained popularity on various podcast channels, further showcasing the impact of our unique approach to education and personal development.

• Can you explain how your use of RGB analysis for personality and behavioral skills development works and its impact on your trainees?

RGB Analysis is a scientific approach that traces a child’s behavior back to their time in the womb. The fetal brain develops between 9.5 and 19.5 weeks of gestation, coinciding with the formation of unique fingerprints. During this crucial period, the mother’s behavior, diet, emotions, moods, overall well-being, nervous system regulation, and digestive health directly influence the fetus. These factors influence the developing child’s behavior and personality from the womb.

At SMART INSPIRATION UAE TRAINING, we have integrated this science into our Personality Development and Behavioral Skills approach. We share this knowledge base with all our learners. The RGB Analysis report provides a comprehensive overview of an individual’s skills and competencies, positive and negative behavior scales, mental fatigue levels, tendency towards or away from depression, leadership potential, suitable disciplines for study or career paths based on genetic behavioral analysis, and much more.

With this information, we can then initiate a transformative training schedule.  We start by addressing nutritional needs or deficiencies and recommending physical activities to help turn innate abilities into tangible capabilities. We have found that behavior can be effectively wired when the diet is managed according to the report’s guidelines.

Ultimately, optimizing our brain’s performance for a commendable lifestyle requires understanding which foods are genetically beneficial for us and which should be avoided until our gut microbiome is balanced. This personalized approach allows us to tailor our programs to everyone’s unique genetic and behavioral profile, leading to more evolved personal development.

• What emerging skills and competencies are you prioritizing in your upcoming training programs?

At our center, we start by getting to know each person’s unique potential. Using RGB Analysis helps us see which areas of intelligence someone is good at, which ones they could improve, and which might need more attention.

Based on what we learn, we create personalized learning plans that last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. These plans focus on building behavioral skills and behavior depends on healthy eating and exercise  – food differs from person to person according to the genetic composition of each person and the corresponding requirement.

After this first step, learners can choose from a variety of more in-depth programs. These cover topics like how to communicate better, personal growth, different ways of thinking and learning, art classes, writing workshops, professional etiquette, public speaking, understanding emotions, business communication, and creative writing.

We have also developed special programs for people who work with children. These include courses for preschool and schoolteachers, as well as for parents, to help them understand child behavior and development. We even have a course for journalists who write about children to make sure they understand how to report on kids’ needs responsibly.

One of our newest and most popular courses examines how our eating affects our mental health. Psychobiotics is an exciting area that’s getting much attention lately.

• What advice would you give to young professionals who aspire to follow in your footsteps and make a meaningful impact in their careers?

For parents and adults alike, I encourage you to embrace a balanced lifestyle. Eat nutritious meals, stay active, and take time to connect with nature – try walking barefoot on grass or sand. Practice meditation to find inner calm. By nurturing your body and mind through healthy habits and self-reflection, you can enhance various aspects of your intelligence. This includes how you understand yourself and others, how you perceive the world around you, and how you approach problem-solving and creative tasks. We offer guidance to help you develop these skills, which can benefit both your personal life and career. 

To expectant mothers, I recommend exploring self-awareness techniques, such as those found in RGB Analysis. These methods can help you process your emotions and thoughts, preparing you mentally and emotionally for motherhood. And to spouses, I say,  remember that a supportive and positive environment plays a crucial role in your wife’s pregnancy experience. Creating a nurturing atmosphere can contribute to the well-being of both the mother and your future child.
