Why I do it

Everything begins with the brain. From a young age we are conditioned to think and behave in certain ways based on our upbringing. These patterns become deeply ingrained and some of them serve to amplify our leadership potential while others detract from it. It requires a commitment to the ongoing process of self-awareness to continuously uncover our blind spots in order to discover which habits are working for us and which are not. Then it takes conscious effort to replace old habits with new ones and to sustain that change. But the rewards are priceless.

The neuroscience behind all the work that I do excites me not only because I’m a scientist by training but because I have experienced first hand how transformative this process can be. As the daughter of immigrant parents, I know what it’s like to be affected by Generational Conditioning (the beliefs and behaviors that have been passed down to me). There is no blame or shame in this process since this is simply how our brain functions much like unconscious bias. However, as an adult I’ve had to put in the work to discern which perspectives need to be changed in order for me to create the intentional results I desire rather than perpetuating outcomes from my default conditioning. As a student of these principles my own life has been impacted in ways I could have never imagined. In fact, I believe in this work so much that I changed my career path to dedicate my life to this.

To date, I’ve worked with thousands of leaders across the globe in various industries, in government, corporate and non-profit organizations as a speaker, trainer, coach and consultant. I’ve had the privilege of observing my clients experience their own transformation. And there are no words to describe that feeling other than to say, I live for this work because it’s more than a job – it’s my life’s purpose.
