This episode is the first in a series looking at remarkable women of the Middle East.A remarkable guest is someone who has come a long way after hardships, and my guest Rahaf Kobeissi is remarkable because of her journey from a very difficult beginning to who she is now. Her name translates to something delicate but she is far from that in a way. She stands big in front of CEO's in the Middle East, coaching them directly. She also works with women giving them the tools they need to excel.
