I help executives and entrepreneurs see their vision for their business come to life through strategic sketching.

If you have all these ideas in your brain and can't see the forest for the trees. You don't know which ideas will work, and how it is all connected

... then you aren't executing, and you aren't building the beautiful business you envision. 

I can help you with that.

... Strategic sketching sessions are a way to SEE your ideas and business with new eyes and move you forward FAST.

A bit about me: I am a communication designer turned visual thinking expert. 

As much as I love everything visual, pretty design images or even illustrations aren't the most important. 

The prettiest design doesn't help if your messaging – or your product – is missing the mark.

But it is almost impossible to see how to connect the dots for your business especially if you have many ideas! 

That's where I come in with my pencil. 

I use strategic sketching and a powerful story-driven framework. 

• In a Business Storyboarding session, I ask you questions and sketch while we talk. You'll SEE your client's problems and feelings. A client of mine said: "It is as if you could walk around in their life!"

• You are creating value for your clients by solving their problems in your unique way. This is the very essence of your brand! 

If you want to clarify your message and lay the foundation for your brand – send me a DM now and let's chat.

P.S. Business Storyboarding is a tool to get clarity. As a side product, you’ll get some fun and relevant sketches that you can use in your marketing! 

If you want to learn simple sketches to visualize your story with paper and pencil, check out my Visual Minds group program! 

Send me a DM if you're curious about my visual process, or my courses.

For years, I followed the traditional path:
4 Master’s degrees in Marketing, MIS, Strategic Communication, and Global Studies.
7-time best-selling co-author.
A well-paid corporate job.
A creative strategist at the intersection of storytelling and emerging tech.

I used my skills to build brands and pioneer AI storytelling projects, including mythological animations that brought Persian epics to life.

But I still felt something was missing.

In 2021, I hit a wall.
The burnout was real, especially as a Projector trying to live like a Generator. 
I dove into emotional intelligence and leadership training.
I spent years coaching and mentoring students through transformational programs, watching some unlock deep breakthroughs… and others stay stuck, despite all the effort.

That question haunted me:
Why do certain people transform, and others don’t?

That’s when I found Human Design, and everything shifted.

Today, I help multi-passionate coaches and visionary entrepreneurs align their businesses with their unique energetic blueprint using Human Design.
No more cookie-cutter launches. No more content overwhelm. No more burnout from strategies that don't fit.

I also teach coaches how to integrate Human Design into their own practice, so they can guide clients with more precision, depth, and impact.

Here’s what I bring to the table:

→ 4 Master’s degrees + 15 years of cross-disciplinary insight
→ Human Design consulting with storytelling clarity
→ AI-powered storytelling + creative content tools
→ Deep understanding of burnout, energy alignment & narrative strategy
→ A soul-first, system-supported way to run your business

My mission:
To help you build a business that feels like home to your nervous system
and magnetic to the right clients.

Because you were never meant to “fit in” to a system.
You were meant to reveal a better one through your presence, your story, and your design.

If you’re a coach or entrepreneur who’s done with surface strategies and ready to lead from deep alignment…

Let’s connect.

Most leaders don’t set out to create toxicity.
 But culture doesn’t form from what you say.
 It forms from what you reward.

Here are 7 habits that quietly destroy teams.
And most companies celebrate them without even noticing:

Toxic Habit #1
 Rewarding speed instead of clarity.
When you celebrate rushing, you train people to:
 – avoid asking questions
 – hide confusion
 – prioritize output over accuracy
You create doers, not thinkers.

Toxic Habit #2
 Praising constant availability.
It looks like commitment,
 but it’s actually burnout disguised as loyalty.
 Your healthiest people become your quietest flight risks.

Toxic Habit #3
 Promoting the loudest voice in the room.
When volume beats value:
 – innovation drops
 – introverts disengage
 – the best ideas stay silent
The loudest talker isn’t the strongest leader.

Toxic Habit #4
 Celebrating “the hero” who fixes everything.
You reward firefighters instead of fire prevention.
 Long term, chaos becomes your operating system.

Toxic Habit #5
 Ignoring micro-behaviors.
Eye rolls.
 Interruptions.
 Dismissive comments.
Small signals send big messages,
 and they shape culture faster than any policy.

Toxic Habit #6
 Letting poor communication slide.
When leaders fail to clarify expectations,
 teams start guessing.
 And miscommunication becomes your most expensive overhead.

Toxic Habit #7
 Rewarding results at the expense of humans.
You get short-term wins…
 and long-term turnover.
Culture cracks when people become KPIs.

Healthy leadership requires:
 – clarity
 – communication
 – boundaries
 – psychological safety
 – empathy
 – accountability

You can’t fix what you don’t practice.

If your team is accidentally rewarding toxic habits,
 You don’t need another lecture.

You need experiential leadership training
 that rewires behavior, not just awareness.

 your people will feel, remember, and repeat.

7 Toxic Leadership Habits You Don’t Realize You Reward It.

Most workshops teach, but they don’t train.

And that’s why nothing changes.

Companies keep wondering:
 “Why did everyone love the workshop…
 but nothing looks different on Monday?”

Because teaching ≠ training.

Here’s the difference:
🔥 Teaching gives information.
 Training builds behaviors.
🔥 Teaching explains concepts.
 Training creates experiences.
🔥 Teaching tells you what good leadership looks like.
 Training lets you practice it when the stakes are low.
🔥 Teaching changes your mind.
 Training changes your habits.
🔥 Teaching is memorable for the day.
 Training is transformative for the year.

A workshop that teaches looks like:
 • slides
 • definitions
 • frameworks
 • discussions

A workshop that trains looks like:
 • simulations
 • scenarios
 • role-play (that isn’t cringe)
 • tension, decisions, collaboration
 • feedback loops
 • real-time behavior shifts

Here’s the secret nobody tells you:

Adults don’t learn from explanation.
 They learn from doing → failing → adjusting → doing again.

 That process?
 That’s training.

This is why experiential learning sticks.
 It activates memory.
 It builds muscle.
 It rewires habits.
 And most importantly,

 It feels real.

If your organization wants leadership that knows the theory but can’t apply it…

You don’t need another “teaching” workshop.

You need training.
 Real training.
 Human training.
 Experiential training.

📩 DM me if you want leadership communication workshops that people use, not just “enjoy.”

Traditional leadership training doesn’t stick.

Because information ≠ transformation.

I found the reason in the research:

✴️ When training is a one-and-done event, the insights fade fast. Learning decays unless it’s spaced and reinforced.
✴️ If leaders don’t practice in safe environments, they won’t tackle hard conversations back at work.
✴️ If the training feels separate from their real work, the old patterns grab back control.
✴️ When you skip measuring what actually changes behaviors, decisions, and culture, you’re just having a feel-good day.

So here’s what the science shows does work:

 ✨ Spaced practice over single sessions
 ✨ Experiential simulation + feedback loops
 ✨ Psychologically safe environments for risk‐taking
 ✨ Alignment to real work + measurable outcomes

That’s exactly why I design workshops that look different:
 ✳️ Gamified simulations where leadership skills feel like live challenges—not theory.
 ✳️ Human Design-informed self-awareness to unlock the “why” behind how leaders show up.
 ✳️ Follow-up sessions, toolkits, and guided application so learning becomes behaviour.
 ✳️ Success metrics that go beyond “Liked the workshop” to “Changed how we lead”.

If you believe your leadership development should stick, not just spark, I’d love to help build that for your team.

📩 Drop me a message, and let’s build a learning journey
♻️ Repost this if you stand with your leadership growth.

Your company’s leadership style won’t survive Gen Z.
 And no, this isn’t about “kids these days.”
 It’s about how work has changed.

For decades, companies rewarded obedience.
 Clock in. Do the task. Don’t question the leader.
 “Pay your dues and wait your turn.”

Gen Z has one answer to that: No.

They don’t want bosses.
 They want guides.
 They don’t want commands.
 They want context.
 They don’t want hierarchy.
 They want humanity.

And here’s the truth most leaders don’t want to hear:

Gen Z isn’t difficult.
 They’re just the first generation unwilling to tolerate broken systems.

🧠 Research backs this up:
 Gen Z stays where there’s…
 • psychological safety
 • transparent communication
 • autonomy over micromanagement
 • purpose over pressure
 • leaders who coach, not control

And they leave companies where leadership still looks like 1998.
This isn’t a preference shift.
 This is an identity shift.

Here’s the part companies miss:

Gen Z doesn’t learn leadership from lectures.
 They learn from experiences.

From:
 simulations
 scenario work
 real conversations
 hands-on problem-solving
 leaders who practice, not preach

This is why experiential leadership training is no longer “nice to have.”
 It’s survival.

If your managers can’t communicate with Gen Z…
 If they resist feedback…
 If they cling to control…
 Your best talent will quietly walk out the door.

Not because they’re disloyal.
 But because they’re done settling.

If your organization wants leadership that can keep Gen Z—
 not just complain about them—
 it starts with how you train your people.

Experiential. Human. Real.
 That’s how modern leaders are built.

📩 DM me if you want leadership workshops that actually work for the generation shaping our future workforce.

Your workshop is boring, but it doesn’t have to be.

(Yes, I said it. And your attendees already know it.)

Most workshops look like this:
 • 47 slides
 • one tired facilitator
 • lots of nodding
 • zero behavior change

But immersive simulations?
 They hit different.

Here’s how to turn any boring workshop into a full-on learning experience, without needing fancy tech or a Hollywood budget:

🔥 1. Replace “teaching” with tension
 Adults learn when there’s a problem to solve.
 Not a point to memorize.
 Create a situation where the room has to decide something together.
 Instant engagement.

🔥 2. Introduce characters, not concepts
 Instead of “models,” give them:
 • a frustrated customer
 • a confused teammate
 • a reactive manager
 • a broken process
Let them meet the content, not just read it.

🔥 3. Add time pressure (not stress pressure)
 A ticking timer turns passive listeners into active strategists.
 It builds urgency, energy, and teamwork in seconds.

🔥 4. Use role-play they actually want to try
 Not cringe scripts.
 Not awkward acting.
 Give them realistic scenarios with multiple outcomes,
 like a leadership “choose-your-own-adventure.”

🔥 5. Debrief like a detective
 The magic isn’t the simulation.
 The magic is what you ask afterward:
 “What worked? What failed? What surprised you? What will you change tomorrow?”
Reflection turns activity into transformation.

🔥 6. Reward behaviors, not answers
 In simulations, the “right answer” is less important than:
 • communication
 • clarity
 • emotional intelligence
 • alignment
 • collaboration
That’s where leadership actually lives.

🔥 7. Make it feel real
 Use sound.
 Movement.
 Role cards.
 Storylines.
 Even small props.
 The brain remembers experiences, not explanations.

Boring workshops tell you what leaders should do.

Immersive simulations show you who leaders become.

If your organization wants training people will actually remember,
 not just survive!

 let’s build a simulation your team will talk about for months.
