Soulaima Gourani is a motivational speaker, philanthropist and author, and the creator of the newly formed Women Reignite - a community for life and career development. A STRONG and GLOBAL tribe of women who actively and strategically aim for more in life. Her mission is to create a warm, encouraging space where women can “reignite” their lives while fulfilling their dreams.

In today’s episode Soulaima shares her journey growing up in a not so typical Danish family. She so vulnerably and openly shares the time when no one showed up to her birthday party - this moment changed her life. She decided in that moment that she wouldn’t be dependent on anyone, and she created a strong desire and motivation to prove other people wrong. She knew she wanted to create a road and map for others who didn’t look like everyone else.

She’s always had a burning desire to make a difference in the world and create something of her own. After trusting her own vision, she created the life she always wanted, and a community called he Life Design Formula™ - a proven step-by-step process that shows you precisely how to get back into the drivers seat of your life. Her passion to push other women to design the life that they deserve is her ultimate driving force because she is a living testimony that through hard work, sacrifice, a support system, and taking a risk - it can lead you to victory.

Today, Soulaima resides in Palo Alto, California, where she continues to advise American leaders, entrepreneurs and companies in areas such as strategy, management and leadership. Gourani also works with corporate clients and world leaders as a World Economic Forum expert where she advises major companies on topics such as sales and service and customer loyalty, strategic relationship-building and change management, employee motivation and the future of business. She is a two-time author and speaks on the topics of change management, career development, and emotional intelligence.

“I am committed to telling my story, and other women’s stories, so that other women and young girls have a community to lean on. We can accomplish so much in life if we don’t feel alone or lonely. I’ve dedicated a fair amount of my life and time to creating communities where women can come together and support each other and have a safe space to design their lives.”
