She Does presents: The POWER of NO.
SHE DOES PRESENTS: THE POWER OF NO
Set boundaries. Lead with confidence. Own your choices.
How often do we say YES when everything inside us is screaming NO?
In business, leadership, and life, knowing when to say no is more than a skill, it's a statement of confidence, self-respect, and personal power.
Join us for an empowering and thought-provoking conversation exploring the art of saying NO with grace, setting boundaries without guilt, navigating difficult conversations, and making choices that align with your values and ambitions.
Because saying NO doesn't close doors. Sometimes, it's what makes room for the right ones.
Featuring an exceptional line up of speakers:
Máire Crouchman
Executive Coach, Organisational Advisor & Founder of Authentic Rise
Fari Zolf
Marketing Advisor · Founder · Podcaster · Host
Julia Titova
Global Business Connector · Exited Founder · Strategic Shareholder · Founder of SVOI International
Expect fresh perspectives, honest conversations, practical insights, and a powerful reminder that you don't have to say YES to everything to get ahead.
As a grand finale, our powerful presentations will be followed by a LIVE 10-Minute Interactive Experience and Live Transformation Coaching with Emily Wang | CEO of EMOLiA Global | Executive Presence & Transformation Coach who will demonstrate why saying NO is so difficult.
Behind this seemingly simple word lie deeper fears, limiting beliefs, social anxiety and the need for approval.
Two lucky participants will be drawn for a live transformation coaching experience! Watch as we uncover what's really holding them back, challenge limiting beliefs and unlock the confidence to say NO without guilt.
Learn to decline with diplomacy. Set boundaries with confidence. Lead on your own terms.
YOUR TIME. YOUR VOICE. YOUR POWER.
Don't just learn the art of saying NO. Learn to own it.
Join us for an inspiring conversation that could change the way you approach business, relationships, leadership, and life.
Seats are limited. Claim your place, bring your questions, and get ready to discover the power of NO.
We look forward to seeing you there!

About our Speakers:
Máire Crouchman
Máire is an Executive Coach, Organisational Advisor and founder of Authentic Rise, specialising in performance under pressure, psychological safety and cognitive diversity.
With a background in psychology and psychotherapy, she brings curiosity to the behaviour we often judge too quickly. Her work explores how differently people experience the same demands, and how understanding those differences can improve communication, decision making and performance.
Her move from clinical to corporate work was driven by a desire to address difficulties earlier, before the personal and professional costs build. Through keynotes, workshops, cognitive profiling and executive coaching, she works with leaders and teams across finance, logistics, architecture and retail. She also hosts the See Me podcast, exploring the person behind the professional.
In The Power of No, Máire brings personal experience and psychological insight to a familiar moment: you know you’re stretched, yet hear yourself saying yes. She explores what makes saying no so difficult, and how understanding the pressure behind our yes can help us make more deliberate choices.
Fariba Zoulfaghari
Fari is known to most as Fari Zolf, is a Dubai-based TEDx speaker, growth advisor for founder-led brands, podcast host and producer, community builder, event curator and entrepreneur. She proudly wears many hats at once, and treats that range as her superpower.
Based in Dubai since 2008, Fari has built a career spanning nearly three decades and two continents, from leading marketing strategy for government, to corporate and multinational brands, to the founder-led businesses she advises today. That journey gives her a rare view of how brands grow at every scale, how strong networks are built, and why personal branding matters: clarify your message before you amplify it to the world.
Alongside leading her boutique marketing and communications agency, Fari has built the communities she wished had existed in Dubai: FUNDXB, Podclub and ExF. Each one creates a space of belonging for founders, creators and collaborators, where connections turn into partnerships and ideas turn into action. Her passion for storytelling led her naturally to podcasting. She hosts The FAB DXB Podcast, spotlighting founders’ failures and breakthroughs. She also produces podcasts for others from the ground up, from developing the concept and finding the guests to producing the content, all leaning into her belief that every founder has a story worth telling, and that a clear message is what makes people listen.
Fearless about experimenting and challenging the status quo, Fari leads with creativity and intention. Whether curating an event, behind the mic or leading teams, her focus stays the same: bringing game changers together, amplifying their message and supporting their evolution
