Doha, Qatar: The Qatar British Business Forum (QBBF), organised and hosted by Amanda Shaw, Head of Office and Charlotte Chambers, Head of Marketing and Events, in partnership with Practitioner Sharon Desouza, successfully hosted the inaugural Women’s Executive Leadership Roundtable 2025 at the Al Messila Resort & Spa.

The event brought together female corporate leaders, senior executives, and business professionals from across Qatar to explore the vital role of workplace wellness as a core component of corporate culture. The discussions focused on how leadership engagement can help create a more balanced, resilient, and productive workforce.

As a Certified Practitioner in Emotional Freedom & Stress Management, Sharon Desouza guided participants through her “Be Empowered” programme – a corporate wellbeing initiative designed to help professionals manage stress, regulate the nervous system, and cultivate healthier daily habits.

“The primary aim of this roundtable is to empower working professionals to achieve a better work–life balance and to enhance their overall wellbeing. Creating a happier and healthier workforce ultimately benefits both individuals and the organisations they represent,” said Sharon Desouza.

The event also featured an engaging panel discussion moderated by Emma Higham, QBBF Committee Board Member and Partner at Clyde & Co, with distinguished speakers Kate Jackson, Principal of King’s College Doha, and Emma Igelström, General Manager at Artemex and former World Olympic Swimmer.
