Rana Arafa is a media and executive presence coach for leaders, senior executives and emerging leaders across Egypt and the GCC, bringing twenty-two years of live broadcast experience and more than 200 conferences hosted to the development of how leaders speak, appear and are received.
She currently hosts Al Qahera Al Youm, the daily live programme on OSN, and has presented more than ten television programmes, seven of them live, with over 6,000 hours on air. Her radio work includes MBC, where she also created and hosted a podcast interviewing women leaders across the GCC, one of three podcasts she has originated.
On the conference stage, she presides over platforms convened by government ministries, United Nations agencies and multinational corporations, across Egypt, Riyadh, Kuwait and the wider Gulf, in both Arabic and English. Raised in the Gulf for sixteen years, she moves between Arab and international audiences with equal fluency.
Through The Executive Presence Programme, she prepares leaders for high-stakes appearances, media engagement and senior-level communication, and facilitates the design of speeches for leaders delivering before senior officials and institutional audiences.
She is the founder of 360 Wellbeing, which integrates wellbeing into organisations to strengthen the work environment. She holds an MBA from the Swiss School of Management and a degree in Mass Communication from Cairo University, and is certified in fitness nutrition and mental wellbeing.
Rana is a supporter of the UN World Food Programme and supports Egypt’s Ministry of Health, Ministry of Tourism & Antiquities and the National Council for Women, hosting their platforms, delivering training and coaching, and presenting their activities. She contributes her platform and expertise on a pro bono basis.
Her work draws on a combination that rarely sits in one person: the command of live broadcast and the conference stage, formal grounding in physical and mental wellbeing, and the business perspective of an MBA. Together, they give leaders a complete approach to presence.
