Rozana ALbanawi FAQs
Are you a therapist? Psychologist?
My bachelor’s is in Educational Psychology, and in my Masters I took modules in Counseling and Helping Skills, but I wouldn’t identify as a psychologist (first it requires a PhD, second my aim was not to practice it). I love to spread knowledge about it. I am a firm believer in therapy myself, I have sought therapy since my young adulthood and the gains of that are endless. I am accredited by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialities as an assistant psychology practitioner. I identify more as a psycho-educational worker, such as referring coaching clients to the services they need within the realm of counseling, psychotherapy, psychiatry, and so on.

Leadership FAQs
What are the characteristics of a leader?
Leadership is a ginormous word (like art or creativity) and it can mean different roles in different contexts. In my sessions, we look at it holistically, body, mind and soul. We also look at your self-awareness levels, and how you want to be responsible for the world that you are in (which can be your own relationship with yourself, your family, your clients, your social media, the options are endless).
What is LOD?
LOD is an abbreviation for Leadership & Organizational Development.
I have mixed feelings about being a leader. Can I opt out?
You are not alone in feeling this way.
Some assume it’s just being responsible alone in a world of chaos. However, in our work together, we will explore how it can bring joy, meaning and so much fun. I personally had mixed feelings about owning my inner leader until I understood how to develop my leadership skills. This is what we will be doing during the coaching journey.
Who is a leader in your opinion?
A lot of my clients are surprised when they come to me and I tell them, you are a fully fledged leader already just from the stories they share. Topics that include: teamwork, impact on others, how to influence and be influenced, the role of my values in my leadership style, reading the room (in other words, what is needed here & now), and how to be glocal in today’s world. Also, we work on spiritual and personal development, as essential personal growth tools that are crucial to the work of leaders who want to be of service in their circles and communities.
