Leadership has always been viewed through a traditional lens of authority, performance metrics, and corporate results. But Dr. Parisa Shahverdi, a global award-winning entrepreneur and the founder of La Pariséa, is changing the narrative. Her unique approach blends ancient Persian rituals with clean beauty and sustainable luxury practices, while her groundbreaking philosophy on leadership emphasizes transformation, authenticity, and balance.
As the author of The Leader’s Journey: Embracing Transformation in Leadership, Dr. Parisa invites us to rethink leadership, not as a hierarchy, but as a journey of personal growth, self-awareness, and empowerment. Recognized among the Top 200 Women Power Leaders, she is shaping a global movement that empowers women to lead with authenticity and inner strength.
Transforming Leadership from the Inside Out
For Dr. Parisa, leadership is not just about guiding others, it’s about guiding oneself. In her book, The Leader’s Journey, she explores how leaders evolve by embracing vulnerability as a catalyst for growth. Leadership, she believes, is not a destination, but a continual process of returning to one’s true essence, refining vision, and inspiring others through authenticity.
“Leadership is a journey of personal transformation,” Dr. Parisa explains. “It’s not just about achieving results, it’s about the internal shifts that empower you to lead with compassion, wisdom, and presence.”
This philosophy has struck a deep chord with women entrepreneurs and leaders, especially in today’s fast-paced world, where the pressure to constantly perform can overshadow personal well-being. By embracing both strength and softness, Dr. Parisa encourages women to integrate renewal, reflection, and balance into their leadership style, reminding them that true leadership is holistic, it nurtures the soul as much as it does the career.

Leadership Beyond the Corporate Realm
Dr. Parisa’s vision of leadership goes beyond the boardroom. She believes that empowerment and success must extend into every area of life, especially self-care. For her, a true leader must be balanced, grounded, and able to maintain well-being while navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship.
Her approach resonates with a growing movement of women who are redefining leadership roles. It’s no longer about climbing the corporate ladder, it's about leading with humanity, embracing authenticity, and nurturing both professional success and personal fulfillment.
As Dr. Parisa puts it, “Leadership is not just about achieving goals, it’s about creating a life that aligns with your values, where success and wellness coexist in harmony.”
Celebrating Women Entrepreneurs and Innovators
In addition to her role as an author and entrepreneur, Dr. Parisa is deeply committed to supporting other women in their entrepreneurial journeys. As the UAE Country Chair for the G100 Business Accelerator for Women & Entrepreneurship, she works tirelessly to create pathways for women to scale their businesses, foster innovation, and lead with purpose.
Through mentorship, strategy, and international collaboration, Dr. Parisa is helping women entrepreneurs unlock new opportunities and build businesses that are sustainable, impactful, and rooted in feminine wisdom. Her mission is clear: empower women to lead with authenticity and thrive in environments that value their contributions.
“I believe that women’s leadership is not just a force for economic growth; it’s a force for transformation in every aspect of life,” Dr. Parisa says. “I want to help women not only lead but thrive in spaces where they are respected, supported, and celebrated.”
A Legacy of Wisdom, Empowerment, and Transformation
What makes Dr. Parisa’s work truly transformative is her ability to blend vision with care. She represents a new generation of leaders who understand that success isn’t just measured by financial outcomes, but by the legacy we leave through transformation, empowerment, and healing. Her thought leadership advocates for a shift: from leadership as authority to leadership as authenticity; from growth as speed to growth as presence; and from ambition driven by competition to ambition rooted in wisdom.
Through her work, Dr. Parisa is fostering a new narrative where women embrace their power, their vulnerabilities, and their capacity to lead with grace and purpose. Her approach to leadership is one that encourages everyone, men and women alike, to lead with compassion, integrity, and a deep connection to their true selves.
