Women Power Podcast with Wafa Alobaidat

In this episode with Ghizlan, we bring you tonnes of fascinating revelations revolving around women and business and piecing them together to shape the growth of your vision. Ghizlan is one of the genuinely driven and influential women to have stepped on the pedal to break down the workings and trajectories of owning a business, fostering it and closing the chapter if the outcomes don't reflect upon the objectives. We touch upon a hybrid of believing in yourself and the idea that you have presented, persevering through the unavoidably unpleasant circumstances along with celebrating the wins, the magnified reality of finding sound investors, delivering a winning pitch and accelerating your business to shoot through the stars! Ghizlan talks about topics never discussed before from selling makeup to being validated on the international forefront, her organic process of being a strong, emotional, resilient yet vulnerable woman with a positive outlook on life with its many twists and turns.
