About Me: Why I do What I Do

I once thought I knew myself well, but a profound realization changed everything. I’d assumed, with some pride, that I always behaved rationally  & made logical choices, at least most of the time. But then I learned how our brains really worked and I understood that our emotions and rational minds are fundamentally intertwined. And so, our emotions even the subtle ones are constantly shaping our perceptions and beliefs in subtle but powerful ways. This insight led me on a journey to answer a crucial question: How can we harmonize our rational insights with our emotions to make better decisions and lead more fulfilling lives?

This journey led me to the core of leadership and group dynamics where emotions influence reason and shape everything from personal interactions to organizational outcomes.  I’ve explored this question through various leadership roles, and I’ve observed firsthand how emotions influence every thought, word, and action.

Through my growing insights, I witnessed the transformative power of aligning intellectual clarity with emotional understanding. Personal experiences, like my father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, gave me further insights and strengthened my resolve to pursue this path.  I understood the importance of embracing both our emotional and rational minds to live a wholehearted life.

Today, as a consultant, educator, and creator of MindBendZ, my goal is clear: to ignite transformative changes in people’s lives. By nurturing self-leadership and emotional intelligence skills, I aim to help others unlock personal and professional growth. I constantly look for and provide tools to navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and well-being.

Join me on this journey of self-discovery and transformation. Together, we’ll explore the fascinating interplay of emotions and reason, unlocking the keys to a life lived to its fullest potential.
