"Your unique curiosity, paired with courageous action, drives real change." – Anette Lan

This quote resonates deeply with my belief that true innovation isn’t just about new ideas or tech—it’s about combining curiosity with courage to create meaningful, human-centered change. Our world is evolving at lightning speed, but the need for empathy and connection remains stronger than ever.

Human-centered innovation doesn’t just tackle problems; it dives into understanding people—their emotions, values, and experiences. That’s where the magic happens, when solutions don’t just work but resonate.

The question “Who am I?” has been a pivotal part of my journey, pushing me to explore my true identity beyond the roles I play or the jobs I hold. In this post, I reflect on my path of self-discovery and the importance of defining myself by my values, beliefs, and passions rather than external labels. My experience working alongside a seasoned executive coach revealed the transformative power of understanding our core values. Join me as I share insights on peeling back layers of conditioning to uncover our authentic selves and embrace the freedom that comes with truly knowing who we are. Let’s embark on this journey together!

“I fear being judged.” This powerful sentiment has gripped my heart, often stifling my voice and clouding my actions with doubt. The fear of judgment can quietly infiltrate our lives, influencing decisions and self-perception. Through my journey, I found inspiration in Jamie Kern Lima's "Worthy," which illuminated the path to embracing vulnerability. Lima's story transformed my perspective, turning fear into an opportunity for growth. Let’s explore this together, cultivating self-compassion and courage, and reclaiming our power to define our worth amidst the noise of judgment.
