In the last conversation of the Women Leaders series, I sit down with Abigail Alexis-Olubuyide to discuss leadership. Abigail is the Head of Primary in an International School in the United Arab Emirates. Since moving to the UAE, 6 years ago, she has taken up a variety of leadership roles.
Abigail has a solution-based mindset. She believes in uplifting offers and failing forward. Her passion in life is to empower people, to become the best version of themselves and to achieve their heart’s desire.
Success happens when preparation meets opportunity…Be prepared you never know when opportunities are coming your way.
