Why & How Leaders in the Region Build Meaningful Public Presence with Marilyn Zakhour

Why and How Leaders in the Region Build Meaningful Public Presence What if visibility is not ego, but leadership? In this episode, we turn the mic toward Cosmic Centaurs’ founder and CEO, Marilyn Zakhour, in a candid conversation about why leaders in the GCC and wider region must step into public presence with intention, and what it truly takes to do it well. From cultural norms around humility and discretion, to structural gaps in media ecosystems and speaking circuits, we explore the real reasons many accomplished executives hesitate to share their voice publicly. Yet in a region shaping some of the world’s most ambitious economic transformations, silence is no longer neutral. It leaves the narrative to others. Together, we unpack: The tension between humility and visibility, and how to reframe itWhy public presence is a strategic asset, not a personal indulgenceThe role of leadership voice in building trust, attracting talent, and accelerating growthWhat narrative sovereignty means for the Arab worldThe research gap around leadership from the region, and why it is time to change thatMarilyn also shares her personal journey from declining media interviews to building a disciplined, purpose driven public presence, and introduces The Compelling Communicator, a program designed to help founders and senior leaders craft a voice that is authentic, strategic, and deeply rooted in service. If you are a CEO, founder, or executive who knows you have something meaningful to say but are not sure how to begin, this episode is your invitation to step forward. Because in this region, visibility is not ego. It is responsibility.
