There’s a memorable line in Spiderman – ‘With great power comes great responsibility’ and yet the film doesn’t overtly state what responsibility means to Peter Parker on a personal level. They say you teach what you need to learn and early in my career I was delegated the task of delivering hundreds (yes hundreds) of Assertiveness programmes. I remember listening to many stories of workplace bullying, abuse and power games and at the time (20 years ago) I was really quite shocked that those things were still going on. Whilst things have become more transparent these days with the internet the stories of power-play are still being shared in my 1-2-1 coaching sessions as frequently as they were 20 years ago.

I just want to take a moment to celebrate the inspirational women who I have had the privilege to meet in my recent ‘Women in Leadership’ events and personal coaching sessions. Women are living very difficult questions – how can they be unashamedly themselves in what is still a male-dominated environment? How can they be great mothers to their children and yet still fulfil their dreams and ambitions? How can they role-model the kind of leadership behaviours that they would want younger women to be inspired by? How can they feel better about themselves even though they’ve made it to the peak of their professional lives and yet still feel they aren’t good enough?

I’ve been in L&D now for over 20 years and it’s refreshing to see now that organisations are realising the importance of investing in the quality of their training materials. For years I was frustrated by outdated and theoretical content that really didn’t resonate with the people in the room and wasn’t what they actually needed in order to get better at what they do day to day. Often training design is considered a luxury and not a necessity but thankfully things are changing.

Recently in my leadership events I’ve noticed one session has people literally on the edge of their seats hanging onto my every word. No it’s not about gender equality, resilience or agile learning…….it is when I start talking about self-esteem. How can it be that people who are at the top of their career ladder who have achieved things beyond their wildest dreams are still struggling with feeling worthy, enough and good about themselves?

50 years ago, the role of women of the region in the economy was very limited. We did not have world renowned businesswomen or ministers of states, and none of our women made it to a Forbes list. Fast forward to the present day, the UAE has made noteworthy progress on the women empowerment front, which has rivalled developed nations worldwide and become a role model for other countries to follow.
According to the World Economic Forum 2016 Global Gender Gap Report, the UAE is ranked as a leading country when it comes to gender equality in the region. In 2015, the UAE established the Gender Balance Council- a federal entity that enhances and increases women’s role in leadership positions. Other organizations such as Dubai Women Establishment (DWE) are actively promoting gender equality not only in the UAE, but within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Among their many initiatives is the UAE Women Leadership Program, which provides leadership training programs for Emirati women.

In this annual report released to coincide with International Women’s Day on 8 March 2018, we share the views of private-sector professionals in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as well as the comparative global position from results accumulated over the past 14 years from Grant Thornton’s International Business Report.
Significantly, this year’s report finds that whilst businesses globally may have more women in senior management than in previous years, gender diversity gaps remain at a leadership level. The research suggests that organisations are ‘complying’ with the need for diversity to avoid an all-male leadership team, rather than creating an authentic and inclusive culture which leads to a genuinely diverse senior management team.

15 km from Dubai Airport
The Khalid Lake area is about 15-20 km from downtown Dubai and only 15km from Dubai Airport.
Traffic is not a problem either, as the congestion happens going from Sharjah to Dubai in the morning and coming from Dubai to Sharjah in the evening. You will be going the opposite way, with little traffic.
