🌟 Fostering Growth and Connection: Nordic Mentorship Program🌟 Yesterday, together with the Finnish Business Council, we held the mid program meetup for our joint Mentorship Program, where 25 carefully matched pairs of Mentors and Mentees work together to grow, learn, and inspire. The program, a yearly collaboration between the Nordic councils, is designed to create meaningful connections across industries and expertise and promote personal and professional development in the UAE business community. 🎤 Highlights from the Evening: Shadi Sayed, Business Development Leader at Nokia and one of our Mentors, shared Nokia's remarkable journey—from its history to its current leadership in sustainability. Amar LAZAZI, Head of Procurement at Nokia, delivered an insightful session on negotiation skills, emphasizing the importance of uncovering unstated needs to identify the true drivers in any discussion. The evening concluded with an engaging workshop where participants exchanged ideas, built trust, and strengthened their mentor-mentee relationships. 💡 Key Reflection: As one of our Mentors wisely shared: “For a mentorship program to thrive, it must be founded on trust. When a Mentee takes a leap of faith and places their trust in their Mentor, that’s when true mentorship begins to flourish.” This program is about more than professional guidance—it’s about building lasting relationships and creating a network where growth and support go hand in hand. A big thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making this meetup a success! We’re proud to see such a vibrant and collaborative community taking shape. Here’s to the second half of the program and the incredible journeys ahead! 🌍✨ #HejSBCmembers #MentorshipMatters #NordicMentorship #Collaboration #ProfessionalGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment #Sustainability #UAE
