Kirti sits down with Roshanak,an international lawyer with a vibrant multicultural story to talk about the real power of humanity, humor, and humility in negotiations and everyday life.

Expect real talk on how laughter helps break down barriers, why dropping your ego matters in high-pressure deals, and what it actually means to show up as yourself in a global world. Warm, candid, and practical.

Roshanak has lived a life shaped by movement, strong influences and high expectations, learning early on how to navigate different environments with curiosity and independence. Her experiences across countries and cultures have given her a wide lens on people, relationships and what really matters.Alongside a demanding professional life, she has always been drawn to art, culture and creative expression — interests that keep her grounded and offer a different way of understanding the world. These influences sit just as comfortably with her love for structure and problem-solving as they do with imagination and humour.She is married to Francesco, whose Italian dolce vita approach brings warmth and lightness into everyday life. Today, she balances intensity with perspective, ambition with enjoyment, and seriousness with an ability to laugh — at life, and often at herself.

When panic and uncertainty rise,especially during regional conflict ( Dubai, UAE) or family pressure, most people default to anxiety, guilt, and hyper-alert routines.

Kirti found relief by using a “pause phrase”: “Lighten those damn fears.” Instead of masking fear with forced positivity, she leaned into humor, clear requests with family, and practical mindfulness.

This shifted her mindset from reacting to navigating. Real composure comes from loosening the grip, accepting care, and working through the moment. Simple pauses and a sense of humor offer steadier ground.

What happens when fear, resentment, and inner noise flood your attempts to sell yourself and your work. Helen shares her journey from hating sales to realizing that shifting your thinking changes your results, and Kirti reflects on how easy it is to tie your identity to your business, losing sight of your value while trying to please everyone. Together, they unpack why women often avoid "salesy" behaviors, how consultative selling builds trust, and the power of pausing to rethink what value really means.
