Beyond Resilience
The Strategic Mindset
People love talking about resilience, but stress & challenges can actually strengthen us. That’s the core of Antifragility.
I share how adversity taught me to redefine problems, think laterally, & turn obstacles into opportunity — the same principles that help teams innovate, adapt, & build systems that get stronger under pressure.
It’s a mix of blunt honesty, dry humour, & strategies that apply just as well in boardrooms as they do in nightclubs.

Think Different
By Design
The fastest way to improve the experience for the majority is to pay attention to the minority.
Universal Design isn’t really about accessibility; it’s about creativity. When you design for the extremes, you create solutions that work better for everyone.
Through curious history, sharp examples, and acute observations, I explore how overlooked constraints can spark better design — and how that mindset uncovers competitive advantages most overlook.

Imposter Power
Opportunity Unlocked
We think of Impostor Syndrome as a flaw, but I’ve always seen it as a compass.
Imposter Power reframes the syndrome as a strategic advantage — something that sharpens your perception, expands opportunities, and keeps you moving.
Drawing on stories from psychology, creativity, and my own habit of finding myself on stages I hardly belong, I show how uncertainty can become fuel rather than friction — a toolkit for turning self-doubt into momentum and growth.
