#SBWCTalks unveils scope for diversity in real estate sector

Haleema Humaid Al Owais, CEO of Sultan bin Ali Al Owais Real Estate, who currently helms three large companies that cover the entire scale of needs of her core business in construction, real estate development, and real estate management, will share her incredible journey of personal and professional growth with aspiring women entrepreneurs on Thursday, June 28, 2022, at House of Wisdom, Sharjah. 

The two-hour session titled, ‘Women In Real Estate - Unlocking Diversity & Equality’, is organised by SBWC’s real estate committee to equip women with the necessary skills and expertise to advance their businesses in the sectors of real estate and construction.  Held from 5pm - 7pm, the session will offer a comprehensive overview of the real estate industry aimed at helping aspiring women entrepreneurs plan their next steps in a non-traditional sector and steer the conversation towards a more equitable future.

#SBWCTalks is an exclusive platform for members of SBWC, an affiliate of NAMA Women Advancement, to explore best practices, engage with their peers, and learn from successful business professionals.

The upcoming #SBWCTalks aims to unlock diversity for women in business and will offer insights into the challenges that women entrepreneurs and business owners face in making breakthroughs in male-dominated industries. Hidden factors such as pay gaps and gender discrimination often hinder women’s advancements in these industries, and by hosting a woman leader who has successfully navigated challenges to chart her success, #SBWCTalks aims to inspire more women realize their ambitions in male-dominated sectors.
