3 lessons on success from an Arab businesswoman | Leila Hotei

After considerable struggles within the long-standing male-dominated Rotary world, this year we celebrate 30 very successful years of women in Rotary.  In this TedTalk, Arab business woman Leila Hoteit shares her own experiences about functioning in a male-dominated world, Arab society, and a male-dominated profession, engineering.  Her lessons-learned include resilience - success is the best revenge, work your life to keep work, talent management, join forces - don't compete.   Not unlike Rotary women!

What can their success teach us about tenacity, competition, priorities and progress? Tracing her career as an engineer, advocate and mother in Abu Dhabi, Leila Hoteit shares three lessons for thriving in the modern world.on the general topic of economic empowerment of women, closely related to one of Rotary's areas of focus.
