When Women Win

Welcome to episode 3 of the Rewind, as we count down to the launch of Season 4 on Jan 4th.

During our conversation, Lily shared valuable lessons she learned in the corporate world that have served her well in entrepreneurship, as well as how she has navigated challenges along her journey - not least of them, Covid.

While this is a Rewind episode, Lily kindly provided an update last week on how things are going in a Covid world. I was curious because 100% of her business was in-person contact with medical staff... Listen on for her learnings and silver linings!

If you would like to know more about Lily you can find her on LinkedIn . You can also find her business Malaak at www.malaakme.com

Welcome to episode 2 of the Rewind, as we count down to the launch of Season 4 on Jan 4th.

There are many reasons that this is one of the world's favorite podcasts: we talked about confidence, authenticity, stereotype threat and self-promotion. We explored faith, being human and how to move on after the loss of a loved one.

As we count down to the launch of Season 4 on Jan 4th, we are running a When Women Win "Rewind" to your favorite past episodes. This is the first of three Rewind episodes...

During our chat, we discussed how to set goals correctly and how grit helped Caroline overcome bulimia at the age of 22. We defined happiness and I learned the happiest people are the people who wake up to hard goals – people who have "ikigai", a Japanese word that means "reason for being".

You can find Caroline on LinkedIn and Instagram.

Hi Everyone,

This is an unusual episode... I wanted to reconnect with you because it has been way too long since COVID cramped our style! When Women Win is coming back with a vengeance, and I think it's our most important season yet because of the crazy "shecession" we're in that is burning women out.

During this short episode, I mention some entities:

• Elaa Beirut provides free online mental healthcare to people in Lebanon suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD).
• On October 18th, I'll be doing a mentoring session for Ellevate Dubai and ANYONE in the world can sign up here.

My two favorite quotes were:

• "Who do you think you are, you're just a drop in the ocean…". Her reply: "what is the ocean but millions of drops?"
• "Reading for fun is so important…. For the development of cognitive skills, for the imagination, for learning about other people, so that you're more empathetic and better at communication"

You can find Rana at her website https://welovereading.org/ or on Twitter as @Prof_RanaDajani or @welovereading. And this is Rana's book Five Scarves: Doing the Impossible - If We Can Reverse Cell Fate, Why Can't We Redefine Success?

Finally, the business I mentioned in Segment U is Qidz. Lots of ideas on how to amuse your children at home – only after you've done lots of reading… of course!

My favorite quote of the episode is right at the end, so listen on for it... Here are two other quotes whose juxtaposition I loved:

• "That kind of loyalty, you get from managing with love"
• "Any decision that I make has never been at the cost of the P&L"

Friends - this episode is for people who have felt intimidated or excluded by Blockchain conversations and want to understand its basics. We then get into Leanne and her entrepreneurial journey.

My favorite quote of the episode was one that captured a huge advantage of the Blockchain: "In future, you'll be able to check social media posts & news articles and know whether it is fake news".

I also loved Leanne's take on start-ups: "we don't like [to talk about mythical] unicorns but we like to talk about zebras".

You can find Leanne on Twitter and LinkedIn.

Two big thank you's today!

To the Council for Australian-Arab Relations - thank you so much for your grant that has contributed to the sustainability of When Women Win, and supported our growth in Australia.

To Trademutt Studios in Brisbane - thanks for recording Leanne at 8am!

My favorite quotes of the episode were:

• "We gain nothing from anxiety… And a smile opens more doors than a shout"
• "I saw what real tragedy is, and I saw how people who have nothing can be generous and kind and supportive to each other… I learn from them"

I'd also like to flag the call to action: the IMF is looking to hire women from the MENA Region with a strong background in economic policy. To quote Kristalina: "Don't be shy; please apply!" Do it, do it, do it!!!

You can find Kristalina on Twitter and LinkedIn.

A huge thank you to the 2020 Global Women's Forum Dubai – where this episode was recorded.
