Hend Sabry tells the tale of a woman rediscovering herself after getting divorced in Finding Ola, Netflix’s latest Arabic original title. The six-episode “dramedy” delivers an insightful yet funny and heartwarming look at the intricacies of life after divorce in Egyptian society, focusing in particular on how men and women appear to differ both in how they cope with it and in how those around them approach the matter. Throughout the series, Ola (played by Sabry) navigates seemingly endless opining from her mother and mother-in-law, and eventually tries to find love again despite describing divorce as being a “solitary confinement” sentence for women.

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-
Setting up a structured system to address the day-to-day and big-picture issues getting in the way of your company’s growth: In his book, Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business, Gino Wickman lays out what he calls the Entrepreneurial Operating System, which covers the six key components of every business. These include having a vision, getting the right people in the right positions, relying on data for performance monitoring, and setting up a three-step approach to resolving issues that stand in the way of getting your business to where you want it to be. The system is meant to give business leaders and owners “simple yet powerful ways” to address the typical crop of challenges: Conflicts between employees, decisions getting made but not being implemented on the ground, or the business simply not gaining traction and clocking as much growth as you want.
