Today we visited the campus of zayed university in Abu Dhabi.
We have had the chance of meeting a very successful figure in UAE.
Mohammad Al Fahim is a businessman with a clear vision about the future of UAE .
He is also the Chairman and managing director of al Fahim Group and companies and the author of the book ( From Rags to Riches ).

He is an outspoken man who inspired me with his stories of success and also motivated me as a female student to start thinking “business wise “ and to take the initiative to innovate.
Al Fahim is an activist in the Abu Dhabi economy who emphasizes the prominent role of women in leadership positions through out the workplace.
I was actually impressed when I heard him say that emarati women are now holding most of the decision-making positions in his companies.
Women would start by holding secretary positions and in no time dominating the whole workplace.
He has such an enthusiastic attitudes when it comes to supporting women and giving them great privileges in the business field , such as the flexibility in the working hours and the good salaries .
He also discussed some major challenges that might hinder the participation of women in such private sector positions .
and put emphasis on the need for women training opportunities in the UAE.

I am glad I have had the chance to get an insight into a life of a such a successful man who gives female students much of his time and priceless words.
