Disclaimer: I must start by stating that nothing I write on these pages will justify this conversation or honour this person’s story. I hope the words do my friends’ experience even a sliver of justice.I recently met a former colleague for coffee. I arrived early, and shortly after, a car pulled up beside me. I kept waiting, not recognizing her in the car next to me.Then my phone buzzed with a text: "Here. Parked to your left. I have to go to the washroom. So, I’ll have to do a mad dash in."I

"In a world full of noise, witnessing someone’s humanity is a radical act of hope."- Nabeela Elsayed This week was busy, the busy that can stir up my anxiousness, but can be equally exciting. Big weeks filled with meetings, events, speaking engagements, and connecting with many people always leave me buzzing and I’ve learned that whenever I have a full week like this, I need to give myself a day to recover, to reflect, and to catch my breath.So today’s article is just that — a simple reflection.If

“The opposite of patriarchy isn’t matriarchy—it’s partnership.” — Gloria SteinemThe Coffee Shop Confession That Echoes Everywhere“I look at my girls and they are flourishing, but my son is struggling.”These were the words of a dear friend I recently caught up with. She has four adult children, three girls and one boy, and coffee in hand, she quietly confessed the weight on her heart—her son, in his early twenties, was stuck in a space that felt like quicksand. He had no job, no partner, no passion,

“The best of affairs are those that are moderate.”— Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)The Culture of “Just Right”Twelve years working for a Swedish company. Two years living in Sweden. One lifelong journey trying to figure out what “enough” actually means.It was during that chapter of my life that I was introduced to Lagom a deeply Swedish word that doesn’t translate easily into English. Logom is not about balance in the trendy wellness way. It’s about just right. Not too much and not too little

“The influence of a beautiful, kind soul can never be measured.” — A.D. WilliamsThe Letter I Didn't Know I NeededI was rummaging through my bookshelves the other day, the way you do when you're looking for something and find everything else instead. I pulled out an old book, The Faith Club, a gift from a colleague I received more than fifteen years ago. It's a book about three women- a Muslim, a Christian, and a Jew who began meeting after 9/11 to bridge the distance between their faiths and

“He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away.” — Raymond HullThere’s an old parable about a man, his son, and their donkey. As they set off on their journey, the father, elderly and wise, allowed his young son to ride the donkey while he walked alongside. As they entered the first town, whispers spread through the streets. The townspeople gossiped, criticizing the boy for his lack of respect.“How unkind,” they murmured. “What kind of child lets his frail father walk while he

Some were pitching their startups, hoping to secure investment to accelerate their businesses. Others had recently walked away from high-powered careers, not to build more prominence but to live better. There was this beautiful feeling in each of the people I met,

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” — Anne Lamott"I like you better while you’re fasting."It was a half-joke, half-backhanded comment from a colleague who was in a meeting with me a few years back. That day had been particularly challenging because I was running on empty—in a calorie deficit, waking up at 4 a.m. and staying up throughout the night. No, I wasn't on some fad diet, and I was absolutely not part of the 4 a.m. club so many C-suites claim

“There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.” — Mevlana Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi The Prince’s Search for Something MoreIn the fairy tale, the prince scours the earth looking for a “true princess,” someone who will cure his loneliness and complete his story. But no matter how far he travels, he never finds what he’s looking for. Sound familiar? His search feels like the same restless pursuit so many of us are on—whether it’s happiness, success, purpose, or love. We chase it through degrees,

The Long-Term Investment You Can't Afford to Ignore

I remember being asked to speak at my son’s high school; the administration asked if I could come in and talk to kids about careers, career planning and what it’s like to work in a large organization. After what I am sure they thought was an invigorating speech about business (okay, they didn’t fall asleep or throw anything at me), a young girl raised her hand and said, “ I want to be successful. What’s the one thing I need to do to be successful?” So I asked her to define “success.” She proceeded

The company is well-loved, the leadership is respected, and on paper, everything looks perfect. Yet here you are, contemplating your next move.

Avoiding Yes Regret: The Art of Saying "No"

“The road to burnout is paved with yeses we regret.”-Nabeela Let’s face it: a lot of us struggle with saying no. We want to be helpful, available, and agreeable. But that knee-jerk “yes” often leads to yes regret — that sinking feeling when the thing you committed to gets closer, and you’re spending your time plotting how to get out of it.I’ve been there. I remember agreeing to speak at a conference over the weekend. I didn’t think through the implications—two full days away from my family for an
