International Program Coordinator

At 19, I left home and moved to another country with no money, no safety net, and no plan - just the belief that I was meant for more.

Since then, I’ve walked through fire more than once: divorces, parenting alone, financial struggles, personal losses, and making bold moves of leaving a successful corporate career, to rebuild my life totally from scratch…

Each chapter of this journey was not easy and sometimes terrifying, yet it became important stepping stones of who I am today.

It is what allows me to do what I do best - 
help leaders and organizations evolve through change with clarity, courage, and connection.

⭐️ Who I Am

I help organizations bridge human intelligence and artificial intelligence through agentic voice technologies, leadership enablement, and transformation strategy.

My mission: make AI adoption feel human, effortless, and profitable.

I’m CEO of APEK.ai, leading teams that build secure Agentic AI & Voice Solutions for Enterprise - helping organizations modernize operations and humanize their communication through intelligent automation.

With over 20 years in enterprise transformation, leadership strategy, and reinvention, I blend AI innovation with human insight to help people and businesses grow from the inside out.


⁉️Who I Help

	•	Enterprises ready to evolve beyond legacy systems and embrace secure, human-centric AI.
	•	Executives and founders navigating reinvention, burnout, or uncertainty about their next chapter.
	•	Leaders in transition who look successful on paper but quietly ask, “What’s next for me?”

When People Come to Me (and my team)

They come when success feels heavy, change feels impossible, or they’ve outgrown the version of themselves they used to be.
They come when transformation stops being a concept - and becomes personal.

💡 My Belief

True reinvention happens when technology and humanity evolve together.

That’s why my mission is to help people and organizations:
	•	Adopt AI intelligently.
	•	Reinvent fearlessly.
	•	Lead with voice, not noise.

One of the hardest lessons adulthood teaches you is this:

Not everything in your life deserves an audience.

👉 Privacy is power.
👉 Not secrecy.
👉 Not isolation.

Just the awareness that some things thrive when they’re protected, not publicized.

Here are a few things wise people keep quiet:

1️⃣ Your exact income or savings
👉 Not everyone needs access to your numbers

2️⃣ Your next big move
👉 Work in silence. Let results introduce you.

3️⃣ Your family issues
👉 Healing happens in safe spaces, not public conversations.

4️⃣ Your insecurities
👉 Share them with people who help you grow, not those who weaponize them.

5️⃣ Your money struggles
👉 Many will judge before they understand. Protect your peace while you rebuild.

6️⃣ Others’ secrets
👉 If someone trusted you, honor that trust - it says more about you than them.

The older I get, the more I see that maturity isn’t about being open with everything…
It’s about being intentional.

Your life elevates the moment you stop oversharing and start curating who gets access to you.

What’s one thing you’ve learned to keep private?

Some words sound sweet…
but not everyone who speaks to you wants to see you win.

As you grow, you’ll meet people who guide you, people who distract you, and people who project their own fears onto your path.

That’s why critical thinking becomes a superpower.

Question what you hear.

Observe how people move.
Trust actions more than words.

Protect your mind, your energy, and your direction, because not every “advice-giver” has good intentions.

Choose wisely. 
Grow intentionally.

Corporate Wellness Director | Culture & Employee Engagement | 26 yrs Corporate | Neuroscience | Board-Certified

Do not trust every sweet word

Maybe the reason it hasn’t worked out yet…
is because you were never meant to fit into someone else’s plan.

you were meant to build your own.

to create something new.
something the world didn’t even know it needed.

and the best part?
it will come at the exact time it’s supposed to.

▶️ trust the timing
▶️ keep creating
▶️ your breakthrough will arrive

keep building.
keep trusting.

your story is still unfolding.

You were meant to create something new...

Your burnt-out employees aren't the problem.

Your outdated workplace assumptions are.

Here's what you're getting wrong:

Skipping after-work drinks
↳ Doesn't mean they're not a team player. It means their nervous system needs recovery time.

Working remotely
↳ Doesn't mean they're slacking. It means they're regulating their environment for focus.

Having interests outside work
↳ Doesn't mean they're uncommitted. It means they understand dopamine needs variety.

Being quiet in meetings
↳ Doesn't mean they have nothing to contribute. It means they process differently.

Having great skills
↳ Doesn't make up for a bad attitude.

You can't build high performance on top of chronic stress.

Stop measuring commitment by presence.

Start measuring it by output.

Your best people already figured this out.

Outdated assumptions. 

Some lessons don’t need lectures — they just need a picture that hits you in the gut.
These 10 images do exactly that.

They’ll show you what words can’t.
They’ll reveal the truth you’ve been sidestepping.
They’ll challenge the story you tell yourself.

Don’t just “look” at them.
Decode them.
Because one picture…
can expose a mindset holding your whole life back.

10 pictures with deep meaning

Success has a price.
You’re either paying it in sweat today…
or in regret for the rest of your life.

People love shortcuts.
But the real shortcut?
Doing the hard things long enough that they stop feeling hard.

Most people wait for “luck.”
Winners manufacture it.
Reps. Skills. Boring consistency.
That’s the engine behind every “overnight success.”

And remember
The market is brutally fair.
It doesn’t care how tired you are.
It only rewards the person who shows up with value, again and again.

If you want extraordinary,
stop choosing what’s comfortable.
Start choosing what compounds.

Happy -> Hell, Hard -> Heaven

Sometimes, letting go is the only way to move forward.

We all carry things that slow us down:
* Old mistakes
* Missed chances
* Wrong choices
* People who no longer align with our path

The past teaches, but it shouldn’t trap us.

Give yourself permission to:
✅ Release the weight
✅ Forgive yourself
✅ Start again with clarity

Your future deserves a lighter you.
Keep moving. You’re getting closer every day

Just let it go...

Greatness doesn’t come from winning.
It comes from refusing to stop.

Every legend you admire was once just a person who kept going when the world said “no.”

Here’s what this carousel reminds you 👇

▶️ Rejection is part of every success story

▶️ Consistency hits harder than talent

▶️ Every “no” is moving you closer to the right “yes”

▶️ Your breakthrough needs patience, not perfection

Keep going. 
Your chapter is still being written.

Failure wasn’t  the end. 

We didn’t burn out because we were “hungry.”
We burned out because we didn’t know better.

We thought staying late was commitment.
We thought silence was professionalism.
We wore exhaustion like it was some badge of honor.

Then Gen Z walked in and said:
“Yeah… no. That’s dumb.”

They set boundaries.
They protect their energy.
They refuse to trade health for a paycheck.

And here’s the twist:
They’re not soft.
They’re smart.

Because ambition doesn’t require self-destruction.
Respect at work isn’t optional.
And burnout shouldn’t be part of the job description.

So now the question is:

Are Gen Z “too much”?
Or were we just too willing to tolerate nonsense? 👀

GenZ flipped the script...

We’re not always told this, but progress doesn’t move in one direction.

Some days you grow.
Some days you pause.
Some days you fall back a little.

And all of it still counts.

Because real progress isn’t about being perfect, it’s about staying in the game.

▶️ Growth is never a straight line
▶️ Focus on what truly matters
▶️ Win one small moment today
▶️ Discipline means you return, even after a break

When you stop chasing “perfect days,” you start building real momentum.

You replace pressure with patience.
You choose consistency over intensity.

At the end, it’s not the one “big day” that changes everything.
It’s the thousand small ones you showed up for.

Keep going, even slowly.

That’s how long-term success is built.

Life is a 'SQUID' game. 

Transformation is never sudden, it’s a quiet build-up of small, intentional actions.

What actually creates long-term change:

➡️ Small habits done repeatedly shape your identity

➡️ Consistency rewires your mindset faster than motivation

➡️ Tiny choices create momentum you don’t notice at first

➡️ Discipline compounds even on “ordinary” days

➡️ 1% improvements turn into exponential growth over time

The insight?

Most people chase big wins…
But the real shift happens in the routines you commit to when no one is watching.

Keep stacking the small things.
That’s where transformation truly begins.

Real change is built in silence.

You don't need to earn rest.

Here's your reminder:

You're allowed to disappear for a day.
You're allowed to not respond immediately.
You're allowed to choose stillness over hustle.

Dopamine doesn't only come from winning, closing deals, or being seen.

It comes from:
→ Sunlight on your face
→ Your body moving without a goal
→ Sleep that isn't "optimized"
→ Presence that doesn't need documentation

The things that don't require performing.

Your nervous system doesn't care about your productivity streak.
It cares about safety, rest, and regulation.

Your body already knows how to feel good.

You just have to stop punishing it for needing what it needs.

When's the last time you rested without guilt?

Most people don’t realize this…
Freedom starts the minute you stop living for an audience.

When you let go of “What will they think?”
You make space for “What do I want?”

That shift changes everything.
Your confidence, your choices, your growth.

Focus on becoming the version of you that feels true.

Not the version the world wants to approve.

Consistency > Validation.
Every. Single. Time.

Let them think what they want...

The first few days of a new habit feel heavy.
But the magic? It starts with showing up.

Day 1 is messy.
Day 7 feels slightly better.
Day 21? It starts to feel like you.

Small efforts become natural.
Discomfort turns into rhythm.
And consistency quietly builds the version of you you’ve been aiming for.

Keep going, your future self is being built one simple habit at a time.

All it takes is 21 days.

I held the door for someone at the coffee shop yesterday.

They didn't say thank you.

My first thought? "Rude."

My second thought? "Wait, why does my chest feel warm anyway?"

Turns out, your vagus nerve doesn't care if they acknowledged you.

It activated the second you made the choice to be kind.

Acts of kindness literally tone your nervous system - reducing heart rate, lowering cortisol, and triggering the same neurotransmitters involved in trust and bonding.

Your biology rewards generosity whether anyone notices or not.

So here's the thing:

Be kind because it regulates YOUR stress. Not because you'll get a gold star.

Your nervous system is already keeping score.

Sometimes the biggest shift isn’t in our goals, it’s in our belief.

When you truly believe you deserve better, you start choosing better.

Better opportunities.
Better people.
Better standards.

Life has a funny way of matching your energy.

Think small → get small.
Think big → grow bigger.

Raise your standards, and watch how the world slowly rises to meet you.

MindsetMatters

Dreams don’t move you forward.
Actions do.

Most people stay in the “dreaming loop” → waiting, wishing, overthinking.

Here’s how to break it ⬇️

1️⃣ Start small → Tiny steps > Big intentions.

2️⃣ Build consistency → Daily effort compounds.

3️⃣ Kill perfectionism → Done is better than perfect.

4️⃣ Create accountability → Share goals, track progress.

5️⃣ Take action today → Momentum starts now, not tomorrow.

Dreaming without doing is procrastination with good branding.

The gap between “someday” and “success” is spelled A-C-T-I-O-N.

So, stop dreaming. Start doing.
Your future self is waiting.

Dreams Vs Actions

6 Rules That Quietly Make You Unstoppable! 

In a world that loves noise, remember, real growth happens in silence.

Here’s what actually moves your life forward:

🔹 Keep things private
Not everything needs an audience. Privacy protects your peace.

🔹 Choose friends wisely
Surround yourself with people who see your value, even when you forget it.

🔹 Expect less, appreciate more
Gratitude shifts your energy. It attracts better days.

🔹 Work hard, trust the process
Consistency creates the “luck” everyone talks about.

🔹 Master yourself, not others
Self-control > controlling anything outside you.

🔹 Stay calm and respond wisely
Your strength is measured by your calm, not your reaction.

Small rules.
Big impact.
Life-changing results.

Small rules. Big impact.

Most people aren’t “undervalued.”
They’re just standing in the wrong rooms.

A $1 water bottle becomes $12…
not because it changed —
but because the environment changed.

People are the same.
Put yourself in cheap rooms, you’ll feel small.
Put yourself in the right rooms, you’ll get paid, respected, and treated differently.

Your environment is a multiplier.
If you want bigger outcomes, upgrade the room.

Same water. Different price.

𝟱 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀
(My Proud Confession)

Ever wonder how someone with zero leadership skills ends up managing a team?

Grab your popcorn.

𝟭. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲

Who needs actual leadership skills when you can just chase titles?

Society says success = $$$, not actually impacting lives.

(Spoiler: My paycheck still hasn't gotten that memo.)

𝟮. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗢𝗠𝗢 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Everyone around me was getting promoted, and my ego couldn't handle it.

Turns out, if you ask "Why not me?" enough times, someone eventually gives up and hands you a title.

𝟯. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲

I perfected the art of being seen without being useful.

• Lunch meetings galore (nothing says leadership like strategically timed carbs)
• Talking in every meeting - whether I have something to say or not
• Replying to emails only when a VP is CC'd

𝟰. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿

Why do the work when you can strategically CC yourself into success?

• "Collaborative idea sharing" (a.k.a. stealing genius ideas)
• Aggressively nodding in meetings so people assume I contributed

𝟱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆

Can't outperform the real talent?

Just start juuust enough gossip to make their success look suspicious.

Not my proudest moment, but hey, transparency is key.

People don’t quit their jobs.

They quit feeling invisible.
They quit feeling unappreciated.
They quit the culture that drains them.
They quit the lack of growth, the broken systems, the endless meetings that accomplish nothing.

Not the job itself.
Not the paycheck.
They quit the experience.

Because at the end of the day, we all stay where we’re valued and leave where we’re not.
