The Learning Curve Podcast - THE Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs in the Middle East and North Africa Region: Nicholla sat down with Saniya, the CEO of The Pulse of Life Design House and the Wadi Tribe The Author of the children's adventure series, 'The Adventures of Chee and Dae',.  Based in Oman, she started her entrepreneurial journey at the tender age of 11 years old where she embraced her dreamer and creativity qualities into creating furniture. She knew then being creative would be her life's work.  Today she works on building her business and continue to embrace her love of creative, children and working from the heart.

Inside This Episode
Saniya Chughtai is a dreamer and creative person who follows her heart.  Her business cover three different areas yet the core thread between all of them is the creativity and honesty that she thrives on. For her core business, The Pulse of Life, she takes her inspiration from nature and how nature beautifully brings together colour and shapes. She even admits she can't draw a straight line. :D 

Saniya shares how she prioritises managing all her businesses and how she does organise her days to to achieve all her writing and her creativity.  We speak about credibility and what has contributed to her credibility.  She also shares her take on what she would say to women about to take plunge.  I loved her it myself as it was an analogy we could all relate too.  So let her tell you that too. :)
