Hugh Wahla has certainly lived an extraordinary life.
He has experienced atrocities you would not wish on your worst enemy.
Losing his Mom in a tragic accident and being sent to Pakistan to live as a 6 years old, taught him harsh realities and early life lessons.
It also forged a belief system that helped him navigate life's challenges and allowed him to excel in his career.
While serving as CEO for a Globally recognised brand, he was introduced to the concept of 'Productive Working Life' which played a role in deciding his next steps.
Many lessons in this conversation!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
