Helping B2B Founders Grow on Linkedin | Personal Branding Strategist and Copywriter | Global Women in Business & Leadership Award 2023

Ever read your own LinkedIn post and thought, 
“That doesn’t even sound like me?”

Many founders creating content feel this disconnect.
(yeah, you’re not alone).

With AI tools and generic ghostwriting flooding LinkedIn, posts often come out like marketing templates or chatbots—far from how you really talk to clients or teams.

My approach is different:
I turn your ideas, notes, and voice messages into LinkedIn content that ACKSHUALLY sounds like you—clear, authentic, and aligned with how you connect offline. (I swear it’s not rocket science—9 steps, that’s all.)

That way, when someone meets you in person, your online presence feels genuine.

Some of the successes my clients have seen include:
• A VP of Sales landing 4 speaking gigs in just 2 months
• A Founder expanding into a new market in the GCC region
• A L&D Agency COO generating 10+ qualified leads for a major event
• A Country Manager securing 10+ C-level interviews in 30 days

If your LinkedIn content doesn’t sound like you, let’s find your voice—together. 
(Don't forget to DM me)

And once in a while, you walk into a room that reminds you why you enjoy your work the most.

I went to Zain Kuwait’s Demo Day yesterday.

The energy was calm.
Not loud. Not forced.

Just people talking about problems they actually live with.

As someone who spends a lot of time listening to how leaders speak, moments like this stay with me.

Because their conversations didn’t feel practised. They felt real.

I learned a lot.
And I’m really glad I showed up.

A few conversations stayed with me.
I’m writing them out below in the comments.

I turn your experience into authority — in your real voice | Personal Branding Strategist for Founders & Senior Executives in the Middle East

“Not even a sip.” 💧🙂

Yep. It’s #Ramadan. 🌙

And if you know someone observing it… this is your gentle reminder to be a little extra kind to them this month.

They’re fasting from sunrise to sunset.
No food. No water.
Still showing up. Still building. Still delivering.

So be flexible with meeting times.
Be mindful of lunch plans.
Offer support instead of assumptions.

Small gestures hit differently this month.

#RamadanMubarak to everyone 💚💚
May this month feel lighter, clearer, and deeply intentional for you.

#GCC #Kuwait

In the current regional situation, I’ve received a few messages asking if we are safe in #Kuwait.

I truly appreciate the concern.

What I’ve experienced here so far is calm.
Life is moving. People are going to work. Shops are open.

There’s a quiet sense of steadiness.

May Allah protect Kuwait and everyone in the region.

Hoping for safety and ease for all.

Three days ago, I shared a short post about staying calm during the current regional tension.

Later that day, a founder sent me a message.

He asked something simple.
“What should leaders post during times like this? Should they even post or stay quiet?”

It’s a fair question.

Because posting the wrong thing can feel worse than saying nothing.

And saying nothing can make it look like you’re not paying attention.

After working with more than 20 founders and senior leaders in the Middle East, I’ve noticed something else.

Too much “personal branding” can quietly damage trust.

Not because you’re doing something wrong.

But because most personal branding advice was written for a different kind of audience.

And a different region.

In many places, attention builds authority.
But in the Middle East, credibility usually comes first.

So when leaders follow the usual playbook —
more posts
more visibility
more personal stories
something starts to feel… off.

Not loud.

Just slightly misaligned.

You don’t want to look like a LinkedIn creator.
You want to look like a serious leader.

I wrote a longer reflection about this.

It’s on Substack.

Comment “TooMuch” and I’ll share the link with you.
