Frankly, it was a wonderful session. Thank you for these valuable and wonderful lectures. In this email, I would like to talk about my reflection about the previous session. Frankly, I studied for a master’s degree in health administration and quality and graduated from university with good knowledge of the basics of leadership and how to be a successful leader in the field of healthcare. Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to practice what I learned at university in the real world because I am denied the right to work in Jordan because I am Palestinian and do not hold Jordanian citizenship. In this email, I wanted to point out that knowledge alone is not enough to become a successful leader in your field, as practical practice has a great impact on your success in leadership. The previous lecture focused on asking questions and working on answering these questions in order to be a successful leader. However, frankly, I find great difficulty not in formulating and asking the questions, but rather in translating the answers into reality.  This is a major problem I suffer from: I can ask questions, plan, and theorize, but I can’t translate them into action. I don’t know why I face these challenges. Is it because I haven’t truly practiced the profession and haven’t become a leader on the ground?
