IN SHORT

Fun-loving, challenge-seeking, triathlon-running PR executive Shaikha Al Shaiba is a modern-day superwoman, always willing to push herself and take on the next adventure—and always wearing a smile on her face. “Do what makes you happy. Take the risk. Don’t shy away from who you are—from how you are,” she says. “Live your life. Don’t get upset by the small things. Creating drama doesn’t solve anything. Life is so good—and it’s too short.”
