BIO

After 15 years of consulting for global organisations, I made a life-changing decision to leave my career & start a business. It was a leap of faith that launched me into an extraordinary journey of self-discovery. I immersed myself in personal growth, studying human behaviour, metaphysics, Reiki and NLP. What began as curiosity grew into an obsession—and through this transformative journey, I discovered two life-changing principles: the power of emotional resilience and clarity of a personal path. These principles didn’t just shift my perspective; they redefined my purpose & became the foundation of my work. Now, as a mentor and speaker, I help people master their emotions & make decisions aligned with their values and vision—guiding them to break free from limitations and reach their full potential.

Traditional methods of recruitment no longer work, and problems with retention are more acute than ever.
