Could you elaborate on the nature of your business, highlighting its purpose and the ways it benefits people?
Counselling and therapy services blended with other practices that enlighten the soul by highlighting areas of concern and shadows that require work to evolve and become a wholesome human. I’m offering free sessions to help those in need.


What inspired you to start your journey as a coach and entrepreneur? Were there any specific events, challenges, or people that motivated you to take this path?
Having overcome many obstacles and challenges, I spent a lot of time on shadow work and psychoanalysis on myself to completely understand myself as an individual. I then spent some time studying for a qualification in counselling and realised it was aligned with my objectives and desire to help others. I am inspired by both Freud and Jung as I enjoy analysing dreams and people. This interest and nature of mine is reflected in my AI startup as it is being designed to help others with their mental health.


Looking back at the beginning of your career, what were the major challenges you faced when establishing yourself as a leader/coach? How did you overcome those obstacles?
Being misunderstood for the way I looked, my past experiences around the world, and not having the traditional educational or corporate background were some of the major challenges I faced. But this is also the reason why I started my AI startup.


Would you like to share any remarkable achievement?
My humanitarian missions around the world allowed me to help those in need in significant ways that impacted their lives in positive ways—from documenting survivor stories after the typhoon in the Philippines to documenting social impact stories in Ghana and helping the people I spoke with to better their lives with international support.


Women are a growing force in the workplaces worldwide, standing shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts. What are your thoughts about women leadership today?
I believe women leadership is required more in the workplace to create a balance between genders in organisations as long as they are harmoniously balanced individuals that lead with empathy as well as achieving objectives in a way that works for all those concerned.


What message/advice would you have for future women leaders and aspiring entrepreneurs?
I believe everyone requires therapy to find out where they need help to improve and what they could do to develop and evolve before they are able to lead others with grace.
