What to say about a man who has so profoundly changed my life, whose impact is so magnificent and inspirational, whose leadership as a role model is so beyond words that I seek to find the way to convey this? In fact, as I consider the questions that have been sent to me in this email, they are far too small to even begin to sense the magnitude of who Brooks is.
Perhaps the easiest way would be to give a brief description of the life that Brooks has helped me to create, as compared to where I was when we commenced working together. To compare Brooks to any transformational leader, or even to limit him to that description, would be to receive who this unique Being is at about two percent. And, here’s why.
My life today is that of a world leader where I have a unique position in putting together M&A transactions in emerging markets, particularly though not limited to transactions in metals and mining, telecom, and global education projects. I fly around the world on private jets belonging to the Sheikhs and Oligarchs with whom I do business. I have unlimited access to the Emirates Royal Family where the Sheikh is my close friend and a great supporter of the prominence of female leadership in the world. I am invited to dinners and galas at the palace where to show his respect for me, the Sheikh insists that I walk in formal procession in front of him and his many Ambassadors as a sign of honor. I am received by Presidents and Heads of State in the countries that I do business and work with investment bankers at the largest banks in the world who have spent thirty years or more creating the level of access and quality of contacts that Brooks has shown me how to organize in eighteen months.
Every single part of this was designed created and manifested with the wisdom, guidance, genius, and inspiration of my beloved mentor and teacher, Brooks.
Some of the major challenges that I faced when I started to work with Brooks?
Abusive relationship with a boyfriend who regularly left me battered and bruised
Trauma and chaos resulting from being abused as a child
Financial chaos
Zero self esteem despite being described as very attractive by others
To make the transition that I have made is considered as mind-blowing by those who know me and could have never been achieved without Brooks. There is barely a day that we do not speak and every conversation is life changing. Brooks is a creator of a new reality of feminine leadership that is impacting the planet. I know this because I am part of it. To give an example of a few of my projects at the moment, all crafted and materializing as per the wealth of teaching I am receiving daily from my esteemed Mentor:
The creation of an Arabian faculty of Brown University [Rhode Island] in Abu Dhabi promoting Arab American cooperation and understanding.
One of the largest liquor transactions in South Africa today
Buying control of one of the largest state owned coal deposits in Africa
The creation of a pan Arab and pan African strategy for lottery and gaming with huge financial benefits to charitable institutions of the relevant territories
Why this is fascinating is because I have no previous experience in these sectors and yet am orchestrating, guiding and collaborating with some of the most important people on the planet. Exactly as Brooks has shown me how. Brooks I honor and applaud you, and have this to say to you: LIFE WITHOUT YOU?.........NEVER !
