The Heart of Systems with Rawan Albina

In leadership, we often focus on strategies, frameworks, and structures. But what keeps systems alive are the people within them — their purpose, presence, and connection.

In this soulful conversation, Rawan Albina, Leadership & Wellbeing Academies Director at Chalhoub Group, joins Marilyn Zakhour to explore the human and emotional dimensions of systems. Together, they discuss how leaders can nurture balance, resilience, and meaning within complex organizations.

They explore:
🔹 What it means to fully occupy your place within a system
🔹 How comfort zones and flow coexist, and why both matter
🔹 How leaders can stay grounded while in constant motion
🔹 Why purpose doesn’t have to be grand, it can be as simple as opening hearts
🔹 Practical ways to bring connection, feedback, and mindfulness into everyday leadership

This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and remember that every thriving system begins with a centered, conscious human being.
