Most Western businesses do not fail in the Gulf because of their product.
They fail because they misunderstand the culture, the moment, and the way trust is built.

I explain how business and culture actually work across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait—beyond outdated assumptions and surface-level advice.

Doing business in the Gulf today is not about flying in with a polished pitch or translated materials.
It is about understanding:
- how decisions are really made
- why relationships come before transactions
and how national pride, ambition, and context shape every interaction

When those things are missed, deals quietly stall.
When they are understood, doors open.

I work with Western leaders and teams who want to operate in the Gulf with confidence, credibility, and cultural fluency—not guesswork.

What I help with:

- Navigating business and social etiquette without second-guessing
- Building trust with senior stakeholders
- Adapting communication and strategy to how the region actually works
- Turning insight into long-term presence, not short-term wins

What clients say
“For years we dabbled in the GCC. Now we have a focused, confident team that knows how to build real relationships—and we are seeing the impact in our pipeline.”

“We struggled to connect before. Shifting our mindset and communication changed everything.”

Ways I work with teams
- VIP strategy days
- Cultural and commercial advisory (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman)
- Workshops and group training on Gulf business culture

Speaking on:
- Doing business in the Gulf as a Westerner
- Saudi cultural insights
- Women, entrepreneurship, and influence in the Middle East

Some people help you grow your business.
Others help you grow your capacity to hold your life.

Lindsey Frances is firmly the second. And this is why she is my spotlight today.

Yes — on paper she is a Legacy Advisor & Behaviour Change Expert.

She works with high-achieving founders, leaders, and investors — often men who have built empires and suddenly realise success is not the same as significance.

But that description still does not really capture what she actually does.

What Lindsey does goes far deeper than “coaching”.

She helps high achievers see:
 – where their nervous system was running the show
 – how different parts of your health were quietly asking for attention
 – why levelling up is not about pushing harder, but regulating better
 – and how legacy is not something you build later — it is something you live daily

Her work connects dots most people never slow down enough to notice. 

She does not work from the outside in.
She works from the inside out — and that is why it sticks.

One line of hers stayed with me:
 “Your children will forget your career accomplishments. They will remember how you made them feel.”

And this is something I live by - how do you leave someone feeling...

Some people do not just support your growth.

They quietly change the way you carry your life. And this is her in a nutshell.

So you know what to do... follow and connect with her.
