With all the #AI rush, everyone's searching for what's their 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞.

Yesterday, I spoke about finding my #Ikigai at a #WomensDay event. 
Most people still treat it like a diagram to solve. 
Here's what I've actually lived.

1) 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐚 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐧: 
It's that thing you do where: 
– You forget to check your phone. 
– Time dissolves. 
– You feel a small sense of joy, even when nobody's praising.

You keep coming back to do it because that state of flow feels like 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦.

2) 𝐈𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐝. 
Small. Private. Almost invisible. 
The more you honour it, the more it grows. 
One day it stops being 'something you enjoy' and becomes a tree that serves others.

3) 𝐈𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞. 
Building Codewave with Abhijith taught me this. The right partner. The right team. What once felt like 'passion' becomes shared purpose and suddenly the venn makes sense.

That's the thing about #Ikigai. You don't find it by just filling in a framework. 
You find it by paying attention to life and 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘶𝘱. 

Joyful. Effortless. Valuable. Rewarding. ❤️

What's that one thing you keep coming back to, even when 𝘯𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦'𝘴 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰?

I’ve seen largely two kinds of people in my journey as a #designer.

One says:
“𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘤. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤.”

The other believes:
“𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘧𝘶𝘭.”

I used to wonder: 
𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴?
𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘦 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘯? 
𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘸𝘢𝘺?

Today, 
#AI has collapsed the walls between #Design, #Strategy & #Technology. 

The era of treating them as separate departments or roles is over. 

With #AI, 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 #Innovator, 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 & 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 to build uniquely delightful experiences that win. 💥

As the founder and director of New Routes for Growth HR, I’m driven by a deep commitment to fostering inclusive workplaces where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. I believe that true transformation begins when we embrace diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) across the entire employee lifecycle. My mission is to help organisations create cultures of belonging and empower individuals to lead with authenticity, confidence and purpose.

✨ Transforming Organisations through DEI ✨

With over 20 years of experience in HR, People, and Culture, I’ve had the privilege of leading change for global organisations like Staples Solutions, PVH, Baker Hughes, Erste Group, Sunweb Group, Optiver, and SHV Energy. I help businesses weave DEI into the very fabric of their operations, ensuring that inclusion, transparency, and safety are core to their culture. My approach is grounded in evidence-based, employee-centered practices that promote leadership development, collaboration, and high performance. I specialise in:

        -  Crafting DEI strategies that resonate across       the employee lifecycle
         -  Mapping inclusive employee experiences that drive engagement and growth
        -  Facilitating workshops on inclusive leadership and team performance
        -  Partnering with HR leaders to design transformative, people-first practices

✨ Personal Development Coaching for Transformation ✨

Alongside my consulting work, I offer personal development coaching, focusing on empowering individuals, particularly women, to break through self-doubt and unlock their fullest potential. As a certified Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) practitioner, I guide clients to release limiting beliefs and align with their true power. This work is about more than just achieving success; it’s about creating lasting, meaningful change that enables individuals to show up fully in their lives, both personally and professionally.

Check out my yearly personal transformation programme in Porto, Portugal: www.innerx.eu 

✨ Author, Speaker, and Global Consultant ✨

I’ve co-authored and contributed to several books on the future of HR and DEI, and I am an accredited agile HR and leadership practitioner, SEMCO style licensed trainer, certified PROSCI change management practitioner, and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) practitioner. With experience across diverse industries and regions, I am a trusted consultant and coach, working with clients in EMEA and beyond to help them navigate the complexities of DEI, transformation, and leadership development.
