What if the leadership wisdom we need today has always been part of our cultures?

In this episode, Rama Chakaki joins Marilyn Zakhour to explore leadership through a regional lens, one that moves beyond imported frameworks and reconnects with the cultural foundations of the Middle East.

Together, they reflect on:
 • Where global leadership models fall short in local contexts
 • The role of indigenous wisdom in shaping grounded leadership
 • Why resilience is not just a skill, but a cultural capability
 • How uncertainty can unlock locally-driven innovation

This conversation is part of the Cosmic Conference 2026, where leaders come together to explore what it takes for organizations to endure, adapt, and thrive in complex environments.

A thoughtful episode for leaders looking to stay anchored while navigating change.
