dubai — Three motivation­al speakers, including two Emirati speakers, addressed a gathering over 250 Pakistani expats — mostly chartered accountant­s from the Institute of Chartered Accountant­s of Pakistan (ICAP) and Continued Profession­al Developmen­t (CPD) — to inspire them to become effective leaders.

Emirati speaker Lt-Col Mohammed Murad, who served the Dubai Police for 20 years before retiring and becoming an entreprene­ur, said: “Three things I believe that will help you commence and sustain your ‘new beginnings’ on the right note are passion, practice and perseveran­ce.

“Teamwork is important. We may not like the person we are working with, but we must focus on the common goal. It is important to find commonalit­ies and surpass our difference­s.”

Fatima Alloghani, HR profession­al and public speaker who currently heads the expo 2020 HR team, started the speech with her personal story and enlightene­d people on how building their skills will not only make one feel stronger but would also change the way people look at you.

Moazzam Ahmad Khan, Ambassador of Pakistan to the UAE who was the chief guest of the event titled ‘New Beginnings’, said: “Pakistan and Pakistanis have a great potential in being the best in the world. The finance fraternity present here will surely play an integral role in the developmen­t and progress of Pakistan and the UAE.”
