My story of resilience: How I recovered from a severe burn injury and how that shaped my career and life choices, how I chose to follow my dreams, fighting against the societal and family demands and expectations.

In today’s corporate world, many women find themselves navigating a complex paradox - while they are expected to lead with confidence, yet judged harshly for the very behaviours leadership demands. Assertiveness can be misread, ambition misunderstood, and authenticity quietly penalised. This session explores that invisible tension and the unspoken rules that shape how women are perceived in positions of power.
Leading with Power and Authenticity invites participants to reflect on how leadership presence is formed, challenged, and often constrained in male-dominated environments. Through relatable insights and real-world observations, this session reframes emotional intelligence not as a “soft skill,” but as a strategic advantage that enables women to influence, inspire, and lead without compromising who they are.
Designed for women who aspire to senior leadership, this talk offers a fresh perspective on navigating bias, strengthening presence, and leading with clarity and conviction. It’s an invitation to move beyond adaptation and step fully into leadership that is both powerful and authentically your own.
In a world where stress, worry, and emotional pressure increasingly shape how we show up at work and in life, emotional self-awareness has become a critical foundation for personal growth and positive influence. Yet, many of us respond to situations without fully understanding the emotions driving our reactions. This can create a gap between our intentions and the outcomes we experience.
Mastering Emotional Self-Awareness explores what lies beneath our visible emotional reactions. Using the “Iceberg of Emotion” concept, the talk examines how surface emotions such as anger or frustration can often be expressions of deeper emotions and threatened values such as fear, worry, or respect.
The session introduces a practical diagnostic protocol that helps participants move beyond “What happened?” to explore “What emotion showed up?”, “What that emotion was telling me?” and “What values were threatened?” This process enables individuals to decode their emotional responses, reflect on the impact of their behaviour, and identify how they could respond differently.
Participants will discover how greater emotional self-awareness can strengthen self-regulation, decision-making, conversations, and ultimately influence. The talk reframes emotional awareness not as simply managing emotions, but as understanding what they are signalling so that our actions remain aligned with our intentions and create more desired outcomes.
Organisations have invested heavily in Employer Value Proposition (EVP) over the past few years, enhancing compensation, benefits, learning ecosystems, and workplace flexibility. Yet voluntary attrition, especially among high-potential and high-performing talent, continues to rise. Exit interviews often cite a familiar reason: “better opportunity.” But post-COVID research reveals a deeper truth. Employees are not primarily leaving for pay or perks; rather, they are leaving because their lived experience at work does not align with the EVP promise.
Compounding this challenge is what researchers now call an “Emotional Recession.” A 2025 longitudinal study published in Frontiers in Psychology demonstrates a consistent global decline in emotional intelligence (EQ) since 2019, weakening wellbeing, collaboration, resilience, and engagement. In emotionally depleted environments, disengagement becomes the silent precursor to attrition.
This talk argues that emotionally intelligent leadership is the missing delivery mechanism between EVP intent and employee experience. Emotional intelligence is not a soft or intangible concept; it is a measurable, developable leadership capability grounded in neuroscience and behavioural science. Leaders who consistently demonstrate self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and relational skill create trust, psychological safety, and commitment, the true drivers of retention.
Designed for L&D and executive leaders, this session presents a practical four-step framework to operationalise EI at scale. Through data, lived leadership insights, and real-world case studies, participants will gain actionable strategies to transform EVP from a promise on paper into an experience people choose to stay for.
