SUSI Experience
Nuha Sulaiman is a very enthusiastic and
ambitious woman who got to hear about a life changing program
that was funded by the United States Embassy in Bahrain.
The program entitled “the Study of the United
States Institute for Student leaders on Women’s Leadership” also
known as “SUSI” was mainly concerned with honing and developing
women’s leadership.
One day, after getting all the support she needed from her
family, friends, co-workers, and from Al Zayani Investments
Group, she decided that she should apply for this fruitful
program. She will be sharing in brief her enriching experience.
Nuha started by saying …
5 participants and I were fortunate enough
and were selected for this program. The program was held in the
Midwest area of the United States of America in Minneapolis,
Minnesota where we were welcomed by a very cold weather.
Prior to starting the program.
Like any other person, I was excited yet
worried that I wouldn’t fit in that part of the world, but I
didn't allow my fear to takeover. I started to immerse myself in
the strong passion that I had within so as to learn the finest
out this experience, and that was certainly the best decision to
take. Upon landing, I was delighted by the generosity of the
American citizens, and that was a good start.
And that's how it goes . . . "Leadership
skills"
Having to attend all the proactive classes
and having to meet all the remarkable women who played a very
crucial role in raising women's voice there was more than enough
to leave me with a wonderful experience to take back home. The
first and foremost thing that I’ve learnt was the importance of
viewing people as people and not inferior objects, because
bruises heal more quickly than emotional scars.
One common thing that brings us all down is
“Failure”, but here I learnt that failure depends mostly on how
you define it and that is what mainly brings us down. We tend to
limit ourselves by pinpointing where our downturn starts. To
overcome that, I learnt that if I’m not able to accomplish what
I want, then it’s just an indication that I need to work harder
in order for me to get there.
Moreover, I was able to understand the
importance of having a supportive system, be it people or quotes
or any other way that would get you motivated. As a result, I
was able to identify who my support systems were, and that in
its own right encouraged me even more to move towards my goal.
Last but not least, for the first time I
learnt that the state of my heart can change the way I perceive
things either by putting them through or by accepting them, and
from my leadership perspective I learnt that having my heart at
peace is the most important factor that will determine my
ability to effectively overcome the challenges that are
approaching me as a leader.
Now that the program is over I came to value every little thing
that I learnt from this program. I believe that every experience
is an education, and as a result I was able to implement all the
lessons that I’ve learnt throughout my experience in my daily
life. This experience pushed me forward to achieve my long term
goals and help me lead my own life without having the need to
worry about the challenges that come along with it. Hence, work
twice as hard to reach my goals. Moreover, I was inspired by
every person who contributed into this program, especially the
directors, mentors and supervisors.
"I should be leader rather than follower; and speaker rather
than listener, and that is what it takes to become a leader" she
said optimistically…
Special thanks to Al Zayani Investments Group
for allowing me to participate in this successful experience and
hopefully it will help me bring good back to them.
