Interview with Lubna Forzley

Lubna Forzley interview

This week we meet the managing director at Stories.

What’s your golden rule?

When life throws lemons at you, make mint-lemonade.

How can marketers be braver?

Have faith in your abilities and never fear losing your job - “A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not in the branch, but rather in its own wings’.

What is your most hated business expression?

Women can’t….

What's the biggest risk you've taken in your career?

I don’t consider I have yet (stay tuned)...

I suppose, moving to UAE with two kids and a third one in my tummy and starting a business (Stories.co.ae) can be considered a mini risk?

Which leader do you most admire and why?

Steve Jobs (Male) and Lady Gaga (Female), because both are visionary and knew how to make lemonade with the lemons life threw at them.

What’s your favourite word?

Mom.
