Nay Rahme, Executive, PME ME #30under30
I was eager.
I was not someone who took failure lightly.
I am driven.
I am not easily impressed.
I shall be someone who always makes people laugh and feel at ease.
I shall not be overlooked.
I like it when things just work.
I dislike it when people talk over others.
My biggest ambition is to build a life where I can genuinely say that I gave it my all and it was worth it.
My biggest worry is to lose sight of my essence; the kind, caring and empathetic person I believe I am.
I am most proud of the person I grew into over the years especially throughout my professional career.
I am a bit ashamed that I’ve spent way too much time perfecting emails that probably didn’t need it.
Looking back, probably I should have enjoyed more my time and take a breath rather than race to become the best with all the stress and anxiety that came along with it.
Looking back, probably I should not have doubted my ability to do my job effectively and efficiently.
It all fell apart when my manager left, and I had to step up to handle the workload, become the main point of contact for clients and the creative team, and take full ownership of the responsibilities.
Things made sense when I went into a more leadership role and had more say in the work that was being done.
Eventually things will fall into place even if it’s not how I planned or wanted it to in the first place.
Eventually things will not stay the same, if something went wrong or unexpected there will always be a turn around.
Someone once advised me that I should always go and do the thing that scares me the most because that very same thing will help me grow and become better.
I once advised someone that you should always celebrate the little things, these are the moments that matter the most.
If I had a superpower, it would be teleportation. One of the things that make me feel alive is traveling and if I can do that without having a thousand hours of flight time, I mean that would be awesome.
My superpower in real life is reading the room.
The word I use most is “Why”
The word is dislike most is “Almost”
This too shall pass is sometimes a hard pill to swallow when you’re in a situation where you feel hopeless.
My most treasured passion is Latin dancing.
People should be more sensible and kinder to the people around them.
People should be less stressed and anxious about work and deadlines because in the end even if these things are important in the short term, it’s not as important as doing more of what you love things and that make you feel alive.
I wish to thank my family, friends, and colleagues for always believing in me. I would especially like to thank my brother, who has supported me from the very beginning. He pushed me to take risks, fight for what I truly want, and always believed in my potential to excel.
