Overwhelmed? Manage Your Energy
I recently had a session with one of my clients, an amazing lady who is also a director in a holding company. She shared that her schedule was completely out of control, filled with so many unexpected meetings. She felt totally overwhelmed, not knowing what to do. She desperately wanted to fix her schedule but…

No Agenda, Only Love
A couple of weeks ago was so much fun for me. I had many social engagements, and one of my highlights was finally meeting my lecturers’ friends in person. We’d been communicating over WhatsApp discussing about lecture and stuff, and we finally had a really nice dinner together. I also had a great time connecting…

You Can Do Hard
Few weeks ago was one of the hardest I’ve had in a long time. Imagine: giving four days of full-day training to a total of a hundred people at a foreign embassy, delivering a lecture mid-week, and by the weekend, hosting a community meetup and then dropping my parents off at the train station as…

Befriending Our FearsÂ
Few weeks ago, I finally launched Project Maven! It’s a carefully curated community for purpose-driven women leaders. And today, I want to share a little story behind it.. I’ve had this idea in my mind for a very long time – in fact Project Maven had been sit in my website for two years, labeled with…

Pomodoro: A Simple Productivity Hack
Last week I felt my focus was…scattered. Maybe it was the Ramadan fasting, maybe it was working from home (well, I couldn’t just go to a cafe this time). But with all those little distractions popping up everywhere – laundry, dishes, tv, my bed (lol) – it felt like my to-do list was never ending.…

Make Mistakes
Couple of weeks ago was the first lecture of this semester at the university where I work part-time as a lecturer. I really enjoyed teaching the class again, as I always love sharing knowledge. Since it was the first session, I shared about the class preparation, things like attendance, tools, discussion, and how to create…

The Stories We Tell Ourselves
We all tell ourselves stories. Some are loud and clear, guiding our daily decisions, while others whisper in the background, subtly influencing our perceptions. These stories, whether we realize it or not, really impact how we experience life and, in the end, how we create it. Okay, let’s compare these two hypothetical stories below.. Story…
