Whoosh. We are slightly wind-tossed this week. A lot has been going on (not complaining!) and we're on the pulse of so many awesome change-making projects. The two-day Israel-Dubai Conference was packed to the gills with industry leaders from both parties, extolling on the incredible opportunities to come from this new partnership. More on that below. And in the same bucket of themes, we had another meet up with the Gulf Israel Women's Forum for some conversation, connection and community, naturally.
As we are all still in some form of lockdown limbo, we penned a piece on how to take care of your mental health, coupled with the importance of empathy in the workplace – whether you are working from home, or not.
Check out the history of one of the most valuable cars of all time in our Diversions section and then kick back and listen the latest addition to the Evoke Spotify playlist – the hypnotic Dennis Lloyd.
And finally, Happy National Day to the UAE (today!). We are proud to be based in one of the world's most innovative cities, where anything is really possible.

At the end of last month we attended the two-day Israel-Dubai Conference which began with an inauguration gala at the Armani Hotel, followed by the conference itself at the Waldorf Astoria, on the Palm Jumeirah. Top business leaders from Israel and the UAE came together to discuss new business opportunities. Everything from finance and the capital market to tourism and aviation to security was covered in engaging talks. Not only does this new peace deal between Israel and the UAE have the capacity to bring incredible innovation and expertise for both countries, it also has the ability to heal the world.

Things are going from strength to strength in the Gulf Israel Women's Forum and our latest meet up here in Dubai was no exception. We are thrilled to be part of this change-making forum where we are not only forging business opportunities but also beautiful friendships. In our meetings we discuss the happenings of our industries, what expertise we can offer each other and the pressing issues that require substantive dialogue.

We know everyone says it's not all work, it's about play, too – and as much as we don't want to sound like a broken record, there is truth in the truism. Like we said earlier, we are all about ingesting the complex and the trivial in equal measure. In fact, we love nothing more than thinking deeply about the more 'playful' things in life. Read ' em and ponder away.
