In LEC, every woman has a business, a side business, and an opinion about your business. And every Friday at nine, six of us sit at the same table. This Friday, there's a seventh. The LEC Woman. Pilot: The Table. Zuri Mensah. President of the Dubai pod. Has never missed a Friday. Has a notebook for her notebook.
Morning! I brought agendas. Priya Shah. Learn. If there's a framework, she's done it twice. I colour-coded the agendas. I love you. Amina Brooks. Exchange. She doesn't network. She circulates. Ladies, I have three introductions for this table before the coffee even comes.
Imani Cole. Connect. The woman everyone in this city wants in their corner. Sorry I'm late. I was closing a deal. Leila Haddad. FounderLab. Arrives early. Leaves knowing everyone's story. As-salamu alaykum, ladies. I read all your updates on the train. Margot Sinclair. Connect. Her first Friday. Has built three companies. Has not yet met our agenda.
Margot! Welcome to your first Friday. Sit anywhere. I was told there would be agendas. And Amara. Friends of LEC. Comes when she feels like it. I come when it's worth it. And yet, here you are. Every single week.
The croissants are very good. She still thinks she can do everything by herself. I can do everything by myself. Can you do it by Friday, though? I don't have a win yet. I'm here to find one. Riyadh said yes. My first client outside Dubai.
Okay, wins. Who's got one? I finally got the introduction I wanted. Right dinner, right table. I finished the pricing module. And I actually raised my prices. Yes, Priya! And me, two new clients from last month's challenge. Amara? I... survived. That counts.
Wait, wait. Did everyone watch Toni's Monday briefing? New challenge. Listen. Morning, founders. Starting Monday, this month's FounderLab challenge is your sales pipeline. Fourteen days of action, seven to implement, seven to review. Your first task is waiting in the portal. And remember. You're all on your own path.
Some of you want the rhythm, some want the skills, some want the room. But nobody here builds alone. Which brings us to you, Miss Independent. Here we go. New FounderLab challenge starts Monday. Sales pipeline. You'd be so good at it.
I am not joining a challenge. You said that about the retreat. ...And I loved the retreat. Seven women. Seven different paths. One table. And apparently, starting Monday... one challenge. Next time on The LEC Woman: The List.
Pick the path that fits how you build.

Learn, Exchange, and Connect — structured growth paths.
This is your signal to bet on yourself. Not tomorrow. Not when things calm down. Now. LEC is where women who are done waiting come to challenge themselves, challenge their businesses, and challenge the idea that doing it alone is strength. Pick your challenge. Start where you are. Grow into who you're becoming.
