For over 20 years, I thrived in corporate leadership roles—leading HRM, building teams, driving business results, and mentoring emerging leaders across global organizations. My work gave me purpose, and I was fortunate to see its tangible impact. But over time, a quiet question kept surfacing: Is there more I’m meant to do? When the opportunity came to step back and reassess, I realized I was being…
Growth Facilitator At the local library a few weeks ago, I met a lady who for some reason ended up in the corner of the library where I was. She is one of those curious and effervescent kind of people and soon we were talking like long lost friends. She immediately told me what she does and added that she was not entirely sure why…
I like to go on long trail walks and hikes. The journey through these natural pathways is exhilarating and (sometimes exhausting).

Authenticity demands a congruence between our internal and our external. Let me explain: if you claim to be authentic, your actions must match your values and beliefs. If one is not in sync with the other there is no authenticity. Put differently, words are not enough. Words matching actions every now and then is not enough as well.
