This week, I had the great honour of presenting my book Unleash Your Inner Superhero: Real Tools for Growth, Resilience & Confidence for Life to His Highness Sheikh Soud bin Faisal bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Ruling Family Member of Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, during the Global Peace Institute Summit in Dubai.

Standing in that elegant setting, surrounded by leaders and changemakers dedicated to global peace and progress, was an experience I will never forget. To share my book, a message about courage, resilience, and unlocking the power within; with His Highness was both humbling and deeply inspiring.

It was also a privilege to gift copies of Unleash Your Inner Superhero to several other distinguished guests who continue to inspire positive change around the world, including Dr Aishath Rafiyya, Ambassador Anser Moulana, Professor Rohan Gunaratna, Mrs Rusudan Bolkvadze, Dr Arsen Gvenetadze, and Mrs Tamar Lolishvili.

Each conversation reminded me how interconnected our missions are, to empower others, foster understanding, and create lasting impact through compassion, leadership, and learning.

Meeting so many extraordinary individuals, guests, and influencers from across the region was a true inspiration. Every person I met radiated kindness, wisdom, and the same belief that lies at the heart of my book: that real strength comes from within.

Below is an excerpt from the Introduction Chapter, which captures the spirit of Unleash Your Inner Superhero and the journey it invites readers to take.

Introduction: The Power Within

Every superhero has an origin story, a moment when they discover their true power. For many, that moment doesn’t come with fanfare or flashing lights; it comes quietly, in times of challenge, uncertainty, or self-doubt.

This book is for those moments.

It’s for the times when you forget how strong you are, when life feels heavy, or when the world seems to move too fast. It’s here to remind you that your power isn’t something you need to earn or find outside yourself, it’s already within you.

Through reflection, practical tools, and real-life examples, Unleash Your Inner Superhero helps you discover your unique strengths, build resilience, and develop the confidence to take action, one small, purposeful step at a time.

You’ll learn to:

• Identify your inner superpowers (yes, you have them!)

• Set goals that align with your values and dreams

• Strengthen relationships and communication

• Build resilience through life’s storms

• Create calm, clarity, and confidence every day

Most of all, you’ll realise that being a superhero isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up, again and again, with courage, kindness, and heart.

So, take a deep breath. You’re already on your journey.

Your inner superhero is ready to rise. 🦸‍♀️🦹‍♀️🦸‍♂️🦹‍♂️
