On 31st October 2017, House of Beaufort was delighted to deliver an interactive leadership seminar, for the Finance Directorate, Petroleum Development Oman within the context of its mission to become a world-class entity by 2020.
Our seminar provided a confidential forum for questions and answers that were posed to distinguished Omani luminaries, while also giving delegates the opportunity to participate in stimulating break-out group discussions. These were centred around themes that reflected the panel discussion and proved very popular with the delegates!
Working in collaboration with the FD People Capability Division, Dr Susan Laverick (House of Beaufort) was pleased to steer a discussion around topics that we have previously addressed at global conferences from New York to London.
These included: –
- The impact of issues of self-belief and confidence on career development;
- Specific strategies that they had implemented to deal with career obstacles;
- The importance of career mentors or sponsors; and
- The impact of the “double burden”, as identified in the 2014 McKinsey Report “GCC Women in Leadership”
The distinguished panel included:
- His Excellency, Tahir Bin Salim Abdullah Al Amri – Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Governors of the Central Bank of Oman
- Her Highness, Sayyida Basma Al Said, founder of the Whispers of Serenity Clinic for Mental Health and national icon for mental health reform in the Sultanate
- Mme Lubna Kharusi, CEO of the DIRA Group
House of Beaufort was very proud to be involved in this event and welcomed the opportunity to share our experience with a leading Omani corporation and, above all, our conviction that the cultivation of confidence and soft-skills lies at the very core of a leadership culture.
