Afternoons with Helen Farmer

Tuesday, 7 July 2026 - 1 hour 22 minutes

That's the question Helen put to Dr. Sonia Ben Jaafar of the Al Ghurair Foundation.

HR expert Avtar Gill weighs in on today's graduates and employees who are technically excellent - but have a poor attitude.

Dr. Thoraiya and Helen do a deep dive into life as an expat - and what lessons we can learn by being away from home.

Plus, husband and wife Sarah and Ahmed tell us the story behind Chill Me Worlds, a community that wants to see genuine friendships form in the UAE.

And finally, Rhiannon Downie Hurst of Bride Club ME shares some wedding trends this season.
