Q&A
How would you describe yourself to our readers?
I’d describe myself as a lifelong learner and an accidental entrepreneur. If you’d told me years ago that I’d start my own business, I would have laughed. Growth and evolution are central to who I am, and every phase of my life has shown me that I’m capable of far more than I imagine. Professionally, I see myself as a learning experience designer, facilitator, and training consultant. I’m on a mission to humanize workplaces and learning spaces, helping individuals, teams, and organizations rethink how they learn and grow.
You run your own brand, Romy Alexandra, and also serve as a Chief Learning Officer. How do these roles coexist?
I don’t believe in putting myself into boxes—it’s never an “either-or,” it’s an “and.” Through my business, I work with organizations, teams, and individuals to design meaningful learning experiences. Alongside that, I’m the Chief Learning Officer at Brain Matters, where we focus on high-performance culture and bring neuroscience and psychology into workplace practice. Both roles reflect my passion for learning and my love for doing meaningful, impactful work.
Who do you serve through your work?
Learning is a universal human need, so my work spans across sectors. I’ve worked with corporate teams, C-suite leaders, startups, nonprofits, governments, schools, and international organizations. My strength lies in transforming content into experiences—so learning doesn’t just happen, it stays with people. While I work increasingly with corporate teams, my roots in humanitarian and nonprofit work continue to shape my approach.
How did you build such a strong professional presence and community?
LinkedIn has been a game changer for me. During the early days of COVID, when everything moved online, I challenged my own beliefs about experiential learning and adapted it for virtual spaces. I shared openly about what I was learning, experimenting, and discovering. That generosity built trust and connection. Over time, people reached out, not because I was selling, but because I was serving and sharing authentically.
Why did you delay building a traditional website?
My identity and work evolved significantly over the years. Instead of waiting for perfection, I focused on doing the work and learning from experience. LinkedIn became my living, breathing platform. For anyone starting out, I truly believe you don’t need everything figured out first—clarity comes through action, not before it.
Are you a solopreneur, or do you work with a team?
I’m a solopreneur, supported by virtual assistants and a strong global network. Collaboration is incredibly important to me. I don’t see others as competitors but as collaborators. That mindset helps prevent burnout and creates a sense of community, even when you’re running a business on your own.
What challenges have shaped your journey?
One challenge has been managing my own passion. Loving many ideas can sometimes mean spreading myself too thin. I’ve learned to prioritize—focusing on what truly matters each quarter while balancing passion with strategy and sustainability.
What are you currently excited about?
I’m thrilled to be designing a large-scale online event for Psychological Safety Day, bringing together thousands of people globally. My goal is to move beyond content and create emotional, transformative experiences that truly change how people think and feel.
What message would you like to share with women entrepreneurs?
The first sale you need to make is to yourself. Confidence in your worth is essential. As women, we often undervalue our work. When you believe in the value you bring, others feel it too. Perfection isn’t required—self-belief is. When you honor your worth, your business can truly thrive.
“The first sale you need to make is to yourself—when you truly believe in your worth, everything else begins to align.” — Romy Alexandra
