🥘 How do you thrive in Dubai? - The Digest with Emma Jordaan
Want to understand what actually helps people thrive in Dubai?
The Digest is our curated dinner series bringing together a small group of curious people for an intimate, off-the-record conversation with someone who truly understands their space.
It’s not networking. It’s not a talk. It’s one table, shared food, and a real discussion about meaningful work, ideas, and lived experience.
For this edition, we’re joined by Emma Jordaan. She's a TEDx speaker, author of Dubai Decoded, and a leading voice on cultural intelligence (CQ) in the UAE. Emma is the CEO of Infinite Consulting and works closely with founders, leaders, and teams operating in highly multicultural environments.
During the evening, Emma will unpack the unwritten rules of Dubai - challenging some of the most common assumptions people make about succeeding here. She’ll explore the cultural blind spots that quietly hold capable people back, and the behaviours that consistently separate those who plateau from those who move ahead
We’re hosting this edition at Tania’s Teahouse, Dubai’s most Instagrammable café, known for its playful menu and inspiring vibe.
Come hungry for food, ideas, and community. You’ll leave with all three.
