Her unwavering vision of "Empowerment and Resilience" drives her efforts to equip individuals and organisations with the essential skills needed to succeed in an ever-evolving landscape.

Championing Women Entrepreneurs

A vital part of Dr. Somani's mission is to champion women entrepreneurs. Recognising women's unique challenges in the business world, she has strongly advocated for gender equality, actively mentoring and providing resources to help women overcome barriers and pursue their dreams. Through LOSD, she initiates workshops, seminars, and networking events designed to empower women to thrive in entrepreneurship by enhancing their leadership skills, fostering confidence, and promoting business acumen. In March 2025, Dr. Somani will host a significant women's conference in London to celebrate International Women's Day, bringing together successful leaders and aspiring entrepreneurs to share experiences, ideas, and opportunities for growth. This event promises to be a milestone in encouraging collaboration and success among women worldwide.

Transforming Leadership with LOSD

The mission to reshape leadership and skill-building through bespoke training programs is at the core of Dr. Somani's work. LOSD focuses on nurturing competencies such as emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and effective communication, aiming to cultivate leaders who inspire collaboration and drive innovation. Through tailored courses, the organisation addresses the diverse needs of professionals across industries, helping them navigate challenges with resilience and adaptability. Some of the key initiatives include:

  • Global Research Conferences & Global Research Journal: Platforms that provide researchers and professionals with opportunities to present their findings, share insights, and ignite a passion for collaborative research under the motto "Ignite Your Passion For Sharing Research."
  • SkillFlex: An online learning platform designed to promote modern, flexible learning. It empowers individuals to upskill and reskill at their own pace, fostering lifelong education.
  • LOSD Excellence Awards: An annual event that recognises outstanding achievements and contributions across various fields, under the message "Empowering Excellence: Igniting Paths to Success."

Building a Global Community Through GRC & GRJ

Complementing her work at LOSD, Dr. Somani founded the Global Research Conferences (GRC) and the Global Research Journal (GRJ) to create platforms that foster collaboration across multiple disciplines. GRC and GRJ aim to bring together researchers, educators, entrepreneurs, and professionals from diverse backgrounds, offering them avenues to share insights, address challenges, and promote mental wellness. Through these initiatives, Dr. Somani facilitates conferences, workshops, and research publications that enhance knowledge sharing, skill development, and a sense of community. Under her visionary leadership, GRC and GRJ have become respected names in academia and industry, encouraging professionals to connect, learn, and grow in a supportive environment.
