﷽ Having just graduated with a degree in Finance, I've always struggled to find roles that align with Shariah principles. The idea of working in interest driven companies first occurred to me during my placement search. With my limited knowledge at the time, I researched as much as I could to understand permissible roles. However, I found it difficult and complicated due to my lack of knowledge and understanding. Talking to peers in similar situations, I realized many face the same challenge. Some either leave the industry altogether or stay in roles that might not align with Shariah principles, depending on their interpretation. The idea of creating a space for Muslims where they can find Shariah compliant roles in the challenging industry of accounting and finance has been on my mind for a while but I have constantly doubted my ability to execute it. Much of my inspiration to give it a chance has come from my recent visit to the Innovate Finance Global Summit and Muslim Tech Fest where I witnessed many muslims building amazing things for the community. I'm eager to make an impact for something i'm very passionate towards. Currently, I'm in the process of validating this idea and would appreciate support from potential users.

Sharing Session by Datuk Seri Awang Adek Last night, I had the privilege of listening to Datuk Seri Dr Awang Adek’s sharing on his life’s experiences on his very last working day as Executive Chairman of Securities Commission. Totally inspirational! As usual, I put on my student hat and was busy taking notes for my own personal development. Some of the key takeaways of the skills that helped him throughout his career: 1) Be A Good Person. 2) Think & Plan Strategically - Focus on the Outcome. 3) Make Decisions that can be Defensible and stand the Test of Time. 4) Get a Good Education. 5) Always Practise and Exhibit the highest level of Professionalism and Integrity. 6) Develop Good People Skills. I wish him all the best as he starts the next phase of his career as Chairman of Bank Simpanan Nasional. PS: Kudos to the Rotary Club of Bukit Kiara Sunrise for organising the fantastic sharing session! Looking forward to more of such sessions in the future!

In a world that moves at what feels like 100 miles/hour, the ability to make quick decisions is crucial, both professionally and in our personal lives. But how do we cultivate this skill without sacrificing thoughtfulness? Here's my approach to swift decision-making: 1. Trust Your Gut: Often, our instincts are the culmination of our experience and knowledge. Give them credit. 2. Set a Timer: Limiting the time for a decision can prevent overthinking. It's amazing what clarity a ticking clock can bring. 3. Simplify the Options: Break down complex decisions into simpler choices. It's easier to choose between A and B than A through Z. 4. Accept Imperfection: No decision is flawless. Embrace this, and you'll find freedom in decision-making. 5. Learn from Each Decision: Reflect on the outcomes, and you'll refine your decision-making skills over time. Remember, decisiveness is a muscle – the more you use it, the stronger it gets. So, be confident in your decision-making and have a lovely weekend ahead. Ps. Thank you to Clean Start Africa for the invite to train the ladies you support on Financial Management. From Association of Women Accountants of Kenya - AWAK and I, we appreciate you.

It's day 19/20 💃🏾💃🏾 of my #20DaysInLearningChallenge with Africa Agility Foundation and Dr. Aanu Gopald. Let's talk about Metrics and KPIs. Metrics: These are quantifiable measures that track and assess specific processes, activities, or results. They can be numerical or non-numerical. The purpose of Metrics is to provide information and insights into various aspects of the business, helping to understand performance and identify areas for improvement. KPIs: These are a subset of metrics that are particularly critical for monitoring the performance of a business or a specific project. KPIs are chosen because they are directly linked to strategic business objectives. The purpose of KPIs is that they are used to gauge progress towards achieving specific goals and objectives. They help in decision-making and focusing efforts on the most critical areas. In summary, metrics provide a broader view of performance across different areas of the business, while KPIs are a focused subset of metrics that are essential for tracking progress toward strategic goals. #20DaysinPMWithAA #GIT20DaysChallenge #AfricaAgility #GITBootcampCohort #AfricanGirlsInTechBootcamp #GITBootcampC7Challenge.
