EPISODE 3 – Gender Inclusive Leadership

This episode explores humane leadership in governance and institutional reform through the lived experience of Abir Chebaro, a gender and governance expert and Vice President of the Lebanese League for Women in Business. With over two decades of experience, Abir has supported governments, international organizations, and institutions in translating gender equality commitments into functioning systems and measurable results. Drawing on her work in Lebanon and the region, including advising senior government leadership and contributing to the establishment of Lebanon’s first Ministry of State for Women’s Affairs, she offers a grounded perspective on leading change in complex and high-pressure environments. Abir reflects on the realities behind reform, including entrenched bias, structural inequalities, and the expectations placed on both women and men in leadership. She unpacks how systems, not just individuals, shape who leads and how. Through a lens of dignity, safety, and fairness, she reframes humane leadership as a practice embedded in institutions, not only personal values. She also speaks to the role of authentic male allyship as a driver of meaningful change. The episode closes with practical actions for leaders seeking to embed equity into policy, organizations, and everyday decision-making. Her message is clear. Gender equality is not only about better outcomes. It is about rights, accountability, and shared humanity.

QIYADA 2 - The Art of Humane Leadership

This episode explores the humane leadership of Layal M. Rajha, one of Lebanon’s influential film and TV directors, whose career, from the record-breaking feature film ‘Habbet Loulou’ to ‘Chi Yom Rah Fell’, ‘Day 6’, ‘Aal Had’ and ‘Mech Mouhem El Essem’ has been shaped by deep listening, empathy, and courage. Layal reflects on the challenges of building a voice in a male‑dominated industry, her refusal to victimize characters, and her choice to deliver subtle, inclusive messages that break stereotypes without alienation. She shares how drawing inspiration from real human stories led her to spotlight women’s perspectives, advocate for tolerance and diversity, and promote putting oneself in another’s shoes. Beyond cinema, Layal discusses leading large crews with respect in difficult conditions, remaining human during wars and crises, engaging in humanitarian and NGO work, and eventually transitioning from artistic advocacy to direct political involvement affirming her belief in film as a powerful tool for nurturing empathy, reshaping mindsets, and sustaining humanity.
