F**K Up Nights (FUN) DXB!
Our very own Zainub was selected to speak at the FUN nights DXB @ TRYP by Wyndham hotel in Dubai. With overwhelming attendance of over 100 people, she liberated herself and her listeners by sharing stories of her failures. From failed outsourcing, to being undercut by business partners and colleagues to her compound being blown up in Kabul, Afghanistan when she used to work there. All in all – it was a great night.
NYC – DXB – Ellevate – negotiation
Zainub ran a session for women on negotiation strategies at the Jumeirah Creekside Hotel in Dubai. Over 60 participants attended.
Tahira Komal of GE said:
Heard Zainub speak at the Ellevate Dubai event on “Negotiate the way to success”. It was a wonderful experience with Zainub explaining the past and present approaches to negotiating. The session was very interactive which made learning much more fun! She was an absolute delight and spent time meeting us individually as well. Looking forward to some more extended seminars with her.
It was a lot of fun. Who run the world? GIRLS.
What a lovely team.
