Show notes

In 2018, an experiment was conducted by four female educators and psychologists that tested a group of adolescent girls in Zambia on their ability to negotiate. After the initial test, the educators put the girls through six two-hour after-school sessions, where the eighth-grade girls engaged in discussion, role-playing, storytelling, and gameplay to learn four negotiation principles from Zambia educators. The results documented were that all the girls could improve their skills and better represent themselves in discussions and negotiations. Why was this experiment meaningful? Regardless of where it took place, it showed that given the proper support and tools, women can improve their negotiation skills and overcome some stereotypes women face when stepping up to the negotiation table.

Igniting Transformation with the Power of Trust by Zain Raj Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

We often miss vital signals that can help us better prepare for life's surprises. We very often focus on the wrong things and do not see the things we should. But there is one thing that can help us see better, and that is trust. Trust presence cements relationships by allowing people to live and work together, feel safe, and belong to a group. Trust in a leader will enable organizations and communities to flourish, while a lack of trust can cause fragmentation, conflict, and even war. But to quote His Holiness the Dalai Lama, To earn trust, money, and power aren't enough; you must show concern for others. You can't buy trust in the supermarket. In this episode, we discuss trust and how it is an essential part not only in our private lives but in business.
