I know you have your own consulting and coaching practice. You've developed what you call the Women Leaders OS, which stands for Operating System. Can you tell us more about how this approach works? I know it is not a digital system like iOS, the Apple system, but I'm curious to learn more about how this operating system you've designed benefits your target audience, women leaders.

Like I said, we need more women leaders. And we are seeing more of them emerge around the world. My podcast is global, with guests from different parts of the world. And a major part of the audience is in the U.S. But Siham, you are in Belgium, in Europe. And I'm curious about any specific challenges or interesting phenomena related to women leaders in your country or in your culture.

Are there particular difficulties or unique cultural aspects in Belgium or your part of Europe that may differ from those in the US or Asia? I'd love to hear about your observations and experiences.

So basically, you're saying that while you work with women from different parts of the world, you found that many of the challenges they face are universal. Yes, there may be local cultural elements or influences.

But many of these issues across cultural, for example, being judged, whether it's for being married, having children, not having children, being LGBTQ, having long hair, short hair, these judgments aren't limited to women in Belgium, New York, San Francisco, or Hong Kong. They're simply issues that women everywhere face.

You are helping women from different corners of the world navigate these universal challenges.

I'm curious, what's the persona of the woman leaders you tend to work with? Or those you are most drawn to helping? The reason I raised this question is because, honestly, in my view, when mainstream people talk about women in leadership, it still feels a bit generic, especially before COVID.

I noticed that mainstream media tended to showcase a certain type of woman leader, someone who might fit into a traditional mode. such as happily married with two or three children, long hair, maybe blonde, maybe blue eye. Essentially, the ideal wife role model in the eyes of men. This image doesn't differ much from the so-called woman's role models of the past.

But we know that in reality, there's so much diversity in the world of women leaders. Now that we're in 2024 moving into 2025, the world is changing rapidly. So back to my original question, what types of women leaders do you like to work with or would you like to work with more? I believe even within the world of women leaders, we need more diversity.

Yes, you mentioned the word trust earlier. In the last few interviews with different guests, whether they were coaches, tech innovators, or someone in recruitment, trust has come up as a key theme. As we enter the AI era, where we'll see more and more applications of AI in our daily lives, the importance of humanity with trust as a major component remains crucial.
