1. What are your observations on today’s event?

I think the calibre of speakers at today's event has been exceptional. Without a doubt. It's been very interesting listening to a lot of the speakers. However, I would say that a lot of the speakers are still grappling with archaic stereotypes that we in the region, on the ground, knowing the reality and knowing what solutions are available, do not grapple with because those are indeed archaic and obsolete stereotypes. So that's something that concerns me quite a bit. And again, people are not really digging deep enough to understand what does the local GCC family need and advising them on what their needs should be. And that's the whole point of being a trusted advisor is getting into a family, knowing them, understanding them, understanding the dynamics of a family, and then telling them what they should be doing fearlessly. And doing their job independently. And I think a lot of the panellists that have been here today, those that do fly into the region, haven't still got to grips with that. And that is something that is a very deep-rooted cultural issue. So it's wonderful being polite and very politically correct, but actually you're not doing your clients any justice.
