About the Webinar
How can leaders bring authenticity, balance, and impact to today’s complex project environments?
In this inspiring session, Heba Al Shehhi—award-winning PMO leader, EPMO Head at Dubai Municipality, and author of the bestseller Elements of Leadership—shares her vision for a more human-centered approach to leadership.
Drawing on nature’s four elements—Fire, Air, Water, and Earth—Heba shows how leaders can adapt their style to the moment: be as fluid as water when trust is needed, as stable as earth in times of change, as inspiring as air when vision is required, and as bold as fire when passion and speed matter most.
Throughout the conversation, Heba emphasizes the importance of leading with respect, trust, kindness, and emotional intelligence. She shares practical stories from her 20+ years of PMO leadership, explores how to balance authority with compassion, and highlights why taking care of yourself is essential to sustaining impact as a leader.
You’ll come away with fresh insights on:
- Recognizing and applying your own leadership “elements” in different situations.
- Building trust and loyalty within your team and across your organization.
- Staying resilient, avoiding burnout, and leading with balance.
- Why kindness—often seen as a weakness—can be a true source of strength.
Whether you are an experienced PMO leader or just starting your leadership journey, this webinar offers a powerful framework to rethink what leadership means today.
