Engage and Win

Given the enthusiastic response to the revamped Engage and Win competition, we're thrilled to announce it’s here to stay!

⭐Gali's Guide is Raising the Stakes⭐

Our Engage and Win competition, which previously ran monthly, gave the most engaged subscribers the chance to win a one-on-one hour session with Gali Hartuv through a randomised draw at the end of each month.

Due to the incredible response and the undeniable value of these sessions, Gali's Guide has expanded Engage and Win to not only individuals but also companies.

Now, instead of a monthly draw, we’ll be hosting a quarterly draw for a 2-hour session, allowing entire teams to join for deeper, more impactful conversations and roundtables.

With these elevated Engage and Win prizes up for grabs, there’s never been a better time to get involved and boost your chances of being selected!

The rules are simple:

💎Subscribe to the Gali's Guide monthly newsletter.

💎Follow the WarriorLab company page.

After following the above 2 steps, for each engagement on publications, articles, Q&As, or general posts, you will gain an additional entry into the randomised draw at the end of each quarter.
