What does it mean to be human? With our current technology blurring the lines between humans and artificial intelligence, this question stands as the cornerstone of my work, passion, and purpose.
My life took a turn when I stumbled upon a fundamental truth that resonated deeply within me:
The deepest yearning in every human is to be seen and acknowledged.
This realization wasn’t just an intellectual discovery but a revelation born from a deep personal inner work and helping others in their journey of self-discovery.
I’ve come to realize that in every facet of life—be it in the workplace, business, or within family—the core component shaping our experiences is the relationship between oneself and others. They’re two of the same coin.
My mission became crystal clear: we can make the world a better place by learning to fully acknowledge every aspect of ourselves—the good and the bad, the light and shadow. As we learn to do this for ourselves, it becomes easier to extend the same acknowledgment to others.
Naturally inquisitive, I find joy in unraveling the mysteries of human nature, observing hidden patterns, constantly probing, questioning, and diving into the depths of human consciousness. I am not interested in what’s familiar. My fascination lies in the unexplored, the unnoticed, the hidden gems waiting to be discovered by those curious enough to find beauty in plain sight.
Human experience? That’s my playground. With over two decades devoted to User Experience design and strategy in the IT space, I’ve had a front-row seat to explore and shape interactions between humans and technology. As I’ve evolved personally and spiritually, my focus on human experience has shifted from external factors to understanding the transformative elements that shape human experiences from within.
So, I delved headfirst into understanding the intricate layers of our individual selves and how we influence each other. My pursuit wasn’t just about comprehension; it was a passionate call to action. I’ve built an extensive body of work—conducting coaching sessions, facilitating deep listening practices, guiding meditations, delivering talks, designing and facilitating workshops, and penning a book.
Through my writing, talks, facilitations, workshops, and coaching, I poured out my heart, sharing the transformative power of inner work, deep listening, and the profound impact that comes from offering genuine acknowledgment, whether it’s directed towards ourselves or others.
It was incredible to witness this teaching transcending boundaries, resonating with people from all walks of life, assisting them in recognizing themselves in a new light, empowering them to extend the same recognition to others. The outcomes are remarkable—it enables collective tapping into relational intelligence, where new ideas emerge as we join our minds and honor our diverse voices.
Imagine the incredible change rippling through the world when we all step into this way of being! Through deliberate and genuine efforts to acknowledge ourselves and others, we can truly grasp the essence of humanity.
As we expand this capacity, here is what I see emerging:
The wonderful thing about being the fullest expression of our truest selves is that we don’t have to think hard to become leaders and create meaningful impact. The clarity, the hows, and the doings will naturally arise and flow as the expression of our beings.
