Most people plan their career. Ghalia Alul was guided into hers—from working for Queen Rania to government communications to opening a plant-based restaurant—by what she calls the invisible hand.
In this conversation, Dr. Laila Marouf is joined by Ghalia Alul – communications professional, Director of Capacity Building, and restaurateur – to explore what 25 years in communications ultimately teaches you about being human.
Together they uncover why the most urgent skill today has nothing to do with messaging and everything to do with inner clarity, why organisations don't need sharper strategies, they need people who don't take things personally, who don't assume, and who are impeccable with their word. And how the deepest professional wisdom often arrives through the most personal of journeys — through loss, through a spontaneous trip to Bali, through turning 50 — when life finally gets still enough to listen to.
Knowledge Mindfulness Porch is a podcast hosted by Dr. Laila Marouf, exploring how Knowing, Being, and Doing come together in times of unconventional change and poly-crisis. Through thoughtful conversations with leaders, thinkers, and practitioners across disciplines, cultures and generations, The Porch creates space for reflection, discernment, and sense-making.
