Interview Highlights
✨ “Serial entrepreneur” alert! Dr. Hawa juggles businesses across continents — and still found time to open a passion-project restaurant in RAK. #SuperwomanVibes
🧠 Transformation is her thing — from coaching leaders to uninstalling limiting beliefs like outdated software. Ctrl+Alt+Evolve.
🌊 RAK is her peace place — where dreams are born, decisions are made, and downtime means Jebel Jais tea or solo beach stargazing.
💼 She turns boardrooms into safe spaces by blending emotional intelligence, neuroscience, and leadership strategy — no PowerPoint fluff here.
💡 Mic-drop wisdom: You can have it all… if you know your non-negotiables. Boundaries, baby.
💬 On women in business: “Collaboration is great, but don’t forget — labor is the middle of that word for a reason. Show up. Work hard. Then shine.”
💖 RAK love note: “This place isn’t flashy. It’s soulful. Tranquil. And deeply aligned with my values.” Cue collective sighs of agreement.
🌟 She’s a WOW-RAK fan too! Dr. Hawa gives props to platforms like WOW-RAK for spotlighting the heart and soul of the community — reminding us that it’s not just about places, but people.
