This week’s podcast may seem a bit off-topic from my usual interviews, but on the other hand not really. I always like to interview people who are using their voice to make a difference and today’s podcast guest is no exception. 
Kareem teaches people how to use their voice to make a difference through language skills.  Kareem teaches conversational Arabic. He is the Founder of the School Of Yalla.
As someone who has travelled a lot and lived in many countries, I do believe immersing yourself in the language of the country you are living in is helpful to establish deeper relationships and have a better understanding of a culture. 

When living in Germany, I learned German. When living in Belgium, I learned Flemish. However, since living in Dubai, I’m ashamed to say, I have not managed to learn Arabic, bu not from a lack of trying. 
We talk about the barriers faced when learning Modern Standard Arabic as opposed to conversational Arabic.
Kareem teaches us his 'Focus 15' method for learning almost anything, but especially a language.  Also the importance of consistency, and the motivational power of setting small, achievable goals. 
Kareem delves into the differences between Fusha (Modern Standard Arabic) and conversational Arabic. How many Arabic languages are there? 
We also touche on how trust and effective communication skills can be enhanced by learning a new language, especially for professionals like doctors and executives.

Are you a woman working in a male dominated workplace who struggles to have a voice, be seen and given the same opportunities as your male counterparts? 
Yes we’ve seen a big movement towards women empowerment along with equal rights and salaries, but we are not there yet.

In today’s podcast episode is VALUE packed with so many take aways.

I sit down with Dr. Kerstin Brehm, an esteemed cardiac surgeon from Germany. Kerstin shares her own personal battles with hierarchy and equal opportunity in a high powered, male-dominated field and her journey into consultancy and mentoring ambitious women in business, to speak up, find their voice and secure their future. 
We talked about salary bands, (initially, I thought we were talking about salary bans, so was a bit confused. 🙄) Dr Kerstin, hadn’t negotiated her salary for 11 years because she didn’t realise it was possible. As a result, she is passionate about educating others to understand the system. 
What is vertical and horizontal communication? I had no idea…Kerstin opened our minds to different ways men and women communicate and why this plays a role in opportunities.
Have you ever encountered a doctor who didn’t seem strong in their communication? Maybe you came out of your consult, still not fully understanding the diagnosis or the diagnosis was communicated without feeling or understanding from a patient's perspective.

We talk about the struggles some doctors face with empathy and effective communication along with miscommunications that can also occur between doctors and within teams and how this can lead to devastating results. We are all human, but communication training is lacking in this field. 
This episode is packed with valuable insights into navigating professional environments, advocating for oneself, and the pivotal role of communication across all sectors.
