"A truly meaningful experience where genuine connection, reflection, and inspiring conversations came together."
"It was a pleasure to meet the next generation of superstars. Keep chasing your dreams, and never stop learning."
I’m not usually one for the word WOW, but reflecting on this second instalment of You Are What’s Next, it’s the first word that comes to mind. Bouchra and I are incredibly grateful to every speaker who gave their time and energy. Everyone left feeling enriched, inspired, hopeful and valued.
You Are What's Next, Thank you. I truly enjoyed the conversation and the opportunity to share some of the lessons I’ve learned along the way. If even one student leaves believing they have more influence over their future than they realised before, then it was time well spent. Wishing You Are What's Next continued success!
I joined You Are What’s Next to give back, but left inspired by the ambition, honesty and courage of a new generation. Thank you to everyone who shared their voice, and to Dhow Marcom Agency for creating conversations that matter.

One of the most rewarding parts of leadership is helping others navigate the start of their journey. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share lessons on careers, leadership and experience, and to the organisers for creating a space for meaningful conversations.
