I try hard to drive each episode to practical tools that the listeners can take away. When Women Win reached number one across the Middle East and is now listened to in 144 countries. On the one hand, we shine the spotlight on amazing women doing great things and on the other hand, we give women and men all over the world access to these female role models to hear from them, be inspired by them and learn from them. It’s a podcast I created, again, to help professional women thrive. And finally my fifth job is also a pro bono role that I take very seriously I am the Host of When Women Win. My fourth job is a pro bono role that I take very seriously I’m the President of Ellevate Dubai, which is the largest business women’s network here.

I’m a Consultant to corporations on gender parity. I do keynote speeches and workshops on a variety of topics. My mission is to help professional women thrive. My name is Rana Nawas and I’m a mother of two and wife of one. And so here we have it, my interview with Sally Helgesen about how women rise, live onstage, at the 2019 Emirates Literature festival. And so this year, when the Emirates Literature Foundation rang me up and invited me to interview, on stage, Sally Helgesen, the co-author of that book, I was really excited.

I interviewed Marshall Goldsmith about a book that he had co-authored called “How Women Rise: The 12 Habits Holding Women Back.” Now, everybody who’s listened to that episode has told me that it’s one of their favorites because it’s full of things that they recognize in themselves and actionable tips they could take on board. Today’s episode was recorded live last season, so about a year ago now. Hello ladies and gents, hope you’re doing well.
