I had the pleasure to work together with Safiyeh during the SPE- Women in Energy 2017 event, which brought together senior leaders and professionals from the oil & gas industry. It was important for the organizing committee that the event does not follow a typical one-directional flow of information between the leaders and the public, but rather allows for an interactive, open discussion between the guests and the audience throughout the entire program. Certainly, not a typical event and a very challenging task for any facilitator. But Safiyeh made it work with incredible tact, wit and grace. Safiyeh has a natural gift for communication, which combined with deep emotional intelligence, allows her to bridge cultural and hierarchical differences and to seamlessly facilitate dialogue on challenging issues. She has a remarkable empathy and can easily adjust the flow of the conversation to ensure engaged communication and a sense of ease for all those involved in the discussion. It was a great event and a memorable day, which would not have been possible without Safiyeh’s masterful skill. I look forward to the opportunity to work together with Safiyeh again!
