In this Season IV premiere of Center Stage, Marilyn Zakhour, CEO of Cosmic Centaurs opens a bold new chapter. After years of exploring global case studies and leadership lessons from around the world, this season turns the lens inward. It asks a powerful question: What can the world learn from leadership in the Arab world?
Marilyn reflects on her own journey from declining media interviews in the name of humility to embracing public presence as responsibility. She shares the cultural tension many leaders in the region feel between visibility and vanity, and why that narrative must shift.
This episode explores:
Why silence is no longer humility but missed responsibility
The gap in academic research on leadership in the Arab world
The concept of narrative sovereignty and why it matters
The values that shape leadership in this region, from hospitality to collective responsibility How a new documentation movement is beginning
Season IV is not just a podcast series. It is an archive in the making. A collective act of authorship. A declaration that leaders from this region will tell their own stories.
If you care about the future of leadership, identity, and influence from the Arab world, this is where the conversation begins.
