Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work in environments where appreciation wasn’t just a fleeting gesture—it was woven into the fabric of the culture. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with talented, creative, and mission-driven individuals who inspired me daily. These experiences have shaped not only who I am as a leader but also the values I hold close. My journey of professional and personal growth has been deeply enriched by the positive environments I’ve been part of and the continuous learning opportunities I’ve received, all of which have taught me the true power of gratitude.
Emotional intelligence has gained significant traction over the past few decades as a critical factor in leadership and organizational performance. While many leaders focus on technical skills and IQ, others research the indispensable role of EQ. I particularly love EQ and self-awareness, in driving leadership effectiveness.
Transformational leadership, a style that emphasizes vision, inspiration, and positive change, has been widely studied and lauded for its effectiveness in various organizational settings. My research underscores the critical role of self-awareness in achieving transformational leadership success.
