At IPT Energy Headquarters, we welcomed Rana Ghandour Salhab, a leading advocate for women’s empowerment, inclusion, and organizational development in the Middle East, for a thought-provoking fireside chat on “Growing Together: How Inclusion and Opportunity Shape Meaningful Work.” Rana encouraged us to see inclusion, opportunity, and engagement not as optional extras, but as strategic drivers of growth. She highlighted the importance of building cultures where people feel safe to speak up, motivated to learn, and supported in their journeys, both personally and professionally. She also underlined the shift from being gender-smart to inclusion-smart, broadening diversity efforts across nationalities, perspectives, and values. Her key message was clear: when people feel valued and empowered, both culture and business thrive. This conversation reminded us that sustainable growth happens when every voice is heard and every person has the opportunity to contribute.
