I often say that one of the main purposes of Tandem Nomads is to help expat partners take the leadership of their lives. Today, I want to introduce to you one of the very specific and practical ways to do it. It is called Personal Leadership or PL. When my friend Pari introduced me for the first time to Personal Leadership through a workshop, I totally fell in love with its principals as I believe that they could help anybody in this world be happier and reach his or her goal. If I tried to use my own words to define what is PL, I would say that it is a personal development technique, a management tool, a life style practice, a mindset and even a whole philosophy with very concrete exercises and methods to help individuals and even managers solve very practical but also emotional difficulties. I brought to you today my very dear friend Pari Namazi to tell you more precisely about how you can use PL to turn your challenges into great opportunities!

By supporting fundamentalists, the Left simply chooses one camp in a political struggle without acknowledging it. Maryam Namazie, a trenchant campaigner against religious fundamentalism, made this observation last week during a fraught lecture at Goldsmiths, University of London. It would turn out to be pertinent. Namazie’s appearance at Goldsmiths was causing trouble before the event had even begun. The day before the event, the university’s Islamic Society (ISOC) let it be known that they considered Namazie to be a “renowned Islamophobe” whose presence on campus would cause ISOC members to feel “extremely uncomfortable,” and constitute a violation of their “safe space.” Such a reaction was tiresome but unsurprising. Goldsmiths’ ISOC is, after all, an Islamist-led organization, dominated by people who hold precisely the kind of beliefs Namazie spends her days attacking. When expressions of Islamist self-pity failed to get her disinvited, ISOC members resorted to childish disruption of the talk itself, giggling, talking, heckling, and interfering with her power-point as she tried to speak. The video of the event (which can be seen here) makes … The post The Shame and the Disgrace of the Pro-Islamist Left appeared first on Quillette.
