“Being on the chapter board and then president was the real “start” of my EO journey. I loved the challenge of leading leaders and what it taught me about myself and my leadership journey. But most of all I gained a new ‘tribe’ outside of my forum. Connections that I will keep for life.”
Julia Finnis-Bedford, Regional Leader and Member of EO Cape TownWhat I value the most from my EO leadership journey is the connections I have made with the most amazing peers from all over the region. Having the opportunity to spend time with each other in unique environments & situations sparks the most amazing conversations where the take-home value & learning beats any classroom I have ever personally been in!”
Nouf Almutawa, Member of EO Kuwait and Chapter Leader (Past Regional Leader)“MEPA Unleashed, my inaugural international EO event, was transformative. The blend of learning, networking, and exploring Cairo was unforgettable. The event became a networking goldmine, fostering meaningful connections with diverse attendees. Engaging in discussions with fellow entrepreneurs fuelled personal and professional growth, surpassing expectations and reigniting passion for business. I am grateful for the invaluable lessons I learnt from this amazing community of professionals.”
Rahim Amin, EO Karachi“EO Lahore is not just a community; its an ecosystem of growth through engaging events; invaluble connections and transformative experiences.”
Dr. Waqas Wahab, EO Lahore“What I have learnt the most from stepping up is how to grow my leadership skills exponentially. You have the unique opportunity to work on a board with a diverse group of global leaders and to lead other entrepreneurs. Where in the world do you get access to these priceless experiences and lessons?”

Abeer Qumsieh, Member of EO Jordan and Global Leader“My name is Aditya B Manaksia and I have been an EO member for 10 years +, part of EO MEPA Bridge Chapter as well as EO Kolkata Chapter. To learn from the leaders while leading them is one of the biggest take aways for me from EO.”
Aditya B Manaksia, MEPA Bridge“For me, the EO Path of Leadership is about learning the art of motivating others without authority, and this has really benefitted my business. A leadership role in EO is highly recommended – how could you have guessed… I’m going into my 5th year on our local chapter board, and I look forward to exploring other leadership opportunities within EO.”
Tarryn Tait, Member of EO Durban and Chapter Leader“My go-to quote is “Embrace the challenges, for they are the stepping stones to success.” As a woman in a leadership role, the special powers that I bring in are empathy and inclusiveness, which makes me a well-rounded leader. In taking on leadership roles in EO, I have learned the power of listening and communicating better, which has helped me foster innovation within the group.”
Gomathy Ramaswamy, Member of EO U.A.E. and Chapter Leader“What I value the most from my EO POL journey is that it challenged my character and leadership skills. Leading diverse members in a global non-profit organization is a complete shift from what I was accustomed to. I learned how to lead by ‘influence’ rather than ‘authority’!”
