I experienced deep unhappiness and a sense of confinement in the traditional management setting where I used to work. Despite climbing the career ladder, I felt out of place and disconnected from my talents and purpose. Organizations, which should ideally benefit people, often produce outcomes that are detrimental to individuals and the environment. We’ve moved so far from our true selves that we’ve lost sight of why we do what we do and why we’re unhappy and unhealthy. Organizations greatly influence how we live and interact. I see them as a powerful force to help humanity create a happier and healthier world. And I’ve always enjoyed uncovering patterns and getting deeper understanding of systems. Organizational development seems to be a perfect space to use and expand my talents.

The influence organizations hold over people is immense. Today’s technological advancements offer incredible possibilities, but they come with significant negative impacts – declining happiness, mental and physical health, and strained relationships. What excites me most is the potential to influence organizations, thereby impacting all of us positively. I believe in the power to transform business environments into human-friendly spaces that let us be authentic, meet our fundamental needs, heal, and promote happiness and health.

Honesty, which to me, signifies a profound alignment with my authentic self and truth at a deeper level. It involves maintaining integrity in intentions, needs, thoughts, speech, and actions. It’s about striving to remain true to our inner compass and our connection to universal truths.

Self-development, which to me, encompasses a profound inner journey of growth and transformation. It involves the deliberate evolution and expansion of our self-awareness, understanding, and connection to our authentic self.
