Top business and entertainment personalities give inspirational advice
DUBAI, 13 November, 2013: Leading members of the UAE's business and entertainment community will be sharing the secrets of their success at a series of special career clinics held at Canadian University Dubai.
Seven free sessions will take place between November 2013 and February 2014 with one of the region's top entrepreneurs and personalities each telling the story of how they made it to the top.
The first clinic took place on November 12 when Founder and CEO of Petrochem Middle East, Yogesh Mehta - one of the Gulf's richest Indians and judge on The Entrepreneur - gave advice to those hoping to follow in his footsteps and become a self-made business leader.
Over the remaining sessions other influential figures will share their experiences, including Erich Kaeser, (CEO, Siemens - MENA), K. Rajaram (CEO, Al Naboodah Automobiles), Mark Shuttleworth (CFO, du Telecom), Kris Fade (presenter, Virgin Radio), Ihasn Jawd (Founder of zawya.com) and Saygin Yalchin (Founder of wesellanycar.com)
Each session is hosted by Canadian University Dubai and organised by Shane Phillips from Shane Phillips Consultants, a careers expert and presenter of Dubai Eye show, Eye on Careers and host of ZeeTV's Top Guns.
Mr Phillips will open each clinic with practical 'how to' advice, such as CV writing, how to meet decisions makers, how to get interviews and how to negotiate a salary.
"This free event provides access to an otherwise privileged dialogue about leadership development," said Mr Phillips. "We have brought in some of the region's most successful leaders to talk about how they made it, a couple of whom are the best in the world at what they do. I am very excited about this event as we are simply trying to help as many people as we possibly can for free."
All sessions are held in the Red Theatre at the Canadian University Dubai and are open to the public as well as students and alumni from the Canadian University Dubai.
