The Founder

The Founder

Hi, I’m Hasnah A. Rahman—affectionately known as Ms. Has.

With over 28 years of experience, I’ve empowered thousands of parents, educators, children, and leaders through dynamic, brain-based approaches grounded in neuroscience, mindfulness, NLP, positive psychology, and heart-led communication.

As the Founder & Director of Positive Focus Pte. Ltd., I’m on a mission to cultivate confident individuals, resilient families, and thriving communities—through powerful programs that inspire personal transformation, emotional intelligence, and joyful learning.

“I create spaces where confidence, compassion, and growth come alive.”

- Has AR

My story began as a single mother facing fear and uncertainty. Determined to help my son overcome learning challenges, I immersed myself in therapies and techniques that later became the foundation of my life’s work.
Today, I’m proud to see him thriving—graduating with a double degree in Law and Liberal Arts from Yale-NUS and NUS Law in 2021.

This lived experience fuels my commitment to helping others turn their challenges into breakthroughs—one child, one family, one community at a time.
