About this listen

In this inspiring episode of Every Deal Is a Dance, host Mishawn Nolan speaks with Zubaida Bai, President & CEO of Grameen Foundation, a global organization helping women and families escape poverty through entrepreneurship.

  • How empathy can power innovation and leadership
  • Why systems, not just individuals, must evolve to enable women entrepreneurs
  • Strategies for overcoming resistance to change
  • How organizations stay grounded in their values amid constant disruption
  • What “flow” and alignment mean in leadership and life

Zubaida’s journey from engineer to global changemaker is a masterclass in purpose, alignment, and impact.
