DUBAI: I love Tony Robbins. His work is incredible. I use some of his work in my coaching. I have my own IP, but he’s the greatest. He’s the original self-development guy, to me.
I love watching transformation in others because I’ve had such transformation in my own life. I was always outgoing and a people person, but, growing up, I had so many insecurities and didn’t feel good enough. The missing piece was about feeling comfortable in my own skin. So to watch people transform and shift and get results is the greatest gift.
I spend so much of my time helping and, to me, it’s not work. People know they can call me and say, ‘Rola, I need help.’ I love connecting and talking through how we can grow and improve — not just professionally, but across the board. How do we become better people? How do we give back better? How do we show up energetically? That is the most fun: to sit around and talk with friends about how we improve.
People think I’m very intense. What they don’t realize is that I’m so playful, and there’s a part of me that’s also very sensitive. So even though I come across as so strong and intense, there’s this other side that’s still like a teenager.
