"I realise how necessary it is to be mentally healthy and positive and to take care of my energy and vibration. Maintaining this lifestyle and healthy routine is important to me and my business." - Noura Suliman, leading Saudi fashion designer.
The professional landscape in Saudi Arabia is transforming, with more women stepping into leadership roles, launching businesses, and redefining industries. However, the journey to success often involves balancing cultural traditions with professional ambition—a unique challenge for many Saudi businesswomen.
This balancing act isn’t just about managing time and responsibilities; it’s about navigating societal expectations while pursuing personal and professional goals. With the right tools and strategies, including subtle energy practices, women can thrive without sacrificing their values or well-being.
The Challenges Saudi Businesswomen Face
Balancing tradition and ambition comes with its own set of challenges:
1. Work-Life Balance: Meeting the demands of a busy career while fulfilling familial and cultural responsibilities can feel overwhelming.
2. Stress and Burnout: Juggling high expectations in personal and professional spheres can lead to physical and emotional exhaustion.
3. Societal Expectations: Cultural norms often prioritise caregiving and family roles, which can make pursuing professional ambitions feel secondary.
4. Self-Doubt and Confidence: Breaking into male-dominated industries can amplify feelings of self-doubt, impacting confidence and performance.
Strategies for Breaking Barriers
1. Leverage Subtle Energy Practices
Subtle energy techniques can help restore balance and clarity. By learning how to manage your energy, you can maintain focus, reduce stress, and approach challenges with a calm and centred mindset. These practices are simple to incorporate into daily life and can profoundly impact emotional and physical well-being.
2. Redefine Success on Your Terms
Success isn’t one-size-fits-all. Take the time to define what success means to you. Whether it’s excelling in your career, nurturing your family, or pursuing personal growth, aligning your goals with your values ensures that your achievements feel authentic and fulfilling.
3. Build Emotional Resilience
Emotional resilience is key to navigating setbacks and maintaining confidence. Practices like mindfulness meditation and self-reflection can help you stay grounded and handle challenges with grace. These tools are integral to The Power Within, where participants learn how to cultivate inner strength to support their professional journeys.
4. Set Boundaries and Communicate Clearly
Balancing tradition and ambition often mean setting boundaries that honour both. Clearly communicate your needs at work and home to ensure that your time and energy are respected. Remember, setting boundaries isn’t selfish—it’s essential for maintaining balance.
5. Create a Support Network
You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you. This could include mentors, peers, or professional groups that share your values and aspirations. A key component of The Power Within is fostering a supportive community where Saudi businesswomen can share, learn, and grow together.
