What I Learned from Training Senior Leaders? Over the past two days, I had the opportunity to conduct a Dynamic Leadership training for senior managers at a global organisation in the Event and exhibition industry in Dubai. What stood out during the sessions was a common theme: these leaders are so deeply immersed in operational demands that they rarely get time for strategic reflection or personal growth. Many shared that they struggle to keep up with evolving leadership trends, innovations, or even daily news. Instead, information often comes in fragmented forms—scrolled quickly through social media, which, as we know, can be filled with misinformation or disinformation. This training wasn’t just about frameworks—it became a space for them to pause, reflect, and ask: Are we managing or are we truly leading? As someone who facilitates leadership transformation, this reinforced my belief: every leader must schedule time to step back, learn, and think ahead—because strategy doesn’t happen between emails and meetings. If you're in a leadership role, when was the last time you stepped back to reflect?

Brilliant session with Molly Graham on sustaining hyper-growth companies. Few key reflections: - CEO and senior executives must set explicitly clear goals (no more than 3-4) and less is more. Deprioritise in order to prioritise. Clarity is king. - Change is emotional. Lean into those normal feelings, let go of things you can’t control, and embrace the discomfort of the goalposts constantly shifting. - The leaders job is not to know all the answers but learn how to learn the fastest. The fastest learners will win. - What got you here won’t get you there. Anyone who says they know what they’re doing are lying. - There is no place that does not have conflict. The “idea of avoiding conflict is wildly inefficient”. It’s surprising how often people take on feedback and appreciate it. 👏👏👏 Fully agree on the premise of disagreement being a muscle to build. High-performing teams get good at disagreeing. It becomes healthy, and it becomes norm. I really believe that’s the Meta skill in a rapidly scaling or changing workplace.
