Her extensive professional background provides a multifaceted foundation for her passion for organisational behaviour. This passion emanated from a profound desire to understand and nurture the unique strengths of individuals within organisational contexts. She asserts that uncovering one's authentic passions is both an intrinsic life goal and a source of enduring meaning, as well as empowering effective leadership.
