And Four Humans Did the Real Work Instead 🔥🐉 Tonight, I messed up. My LinkedIn Live wouldn’t integrate natively. Not seamless. Not plug-and-play. Not the smooth, professional flow I had imagined. I duplicated events. Deleted them. Recreated them. Tried Streamyard. Restream. Back again. Clock ticking. Nervous system rising. 😖😖😖😖 And then I did something simple: I stopped trying to perform. 🐉 I told the community: Spark is merging into the Fire tonight. No LinkedIn Liv

Not plotting chapters yet. Just feeling the pull of questions that keep coming back. After writing a book born of fire, lived leadership, real risk, real growth, I’m noticing a new set of ideas that feel urgent, honest, and deeply connected to where I am now as a leader and thinker. Here are a few that keep circling: 🐲 My Origins,How I Became the Dragon Leader I Am Not just the timeline of my life, but the shifts in inner logic that turned wounds into wisdom, courage into cu

I read a LinkedIn post today that stayed with me. It described something many of us quietly recognize: that when your leadership style centers on empowering others, influencing direction, and creating clarity at scale, it can trigger an assumption, that you must somehow be less technical. That framing landed deeply. Because being boxed for how you lead, rather than what you understand, is familiar territory. And as a woman in tech, I’ve spent years navigating rooms where my m

There are parts of my story I don’t usually share, especially not publicly (although small tidbits of my story are shared in my book, I don’t share deeply). But to understand me, it helps to know this: I was abandoned by my birth father. Taken from my mother when I was one. Abused and in foster care until five. Adopted. My adoptive parents divorced when I was eight. My biological brother died when I was ten. … I’ve lived with a lot of loss, abuse, and abandonment. From the ou

There was a moment in my conversation with Anca that stopped me mid-sentence. I heard myself say it out loud, something I had lived for years, but while speaking to Anca, finally named so clearly: Empathy used to be something I needed from others to feel safe. Now I know it’s a strength I carry, not a requirement I place on the room. That shift changes everything. When empathy starts as survival For a long time, empathy sat on my values list. Not because I admired it but beca

As I shared in my last post aweek ago, I’ve been a little quieter on LinkedIn these past weeks, not because I disappeared, but because I’ve been deep in the cave upgrading every single product in the Avagasso ecosystem. And I’m almost done. A couple more weeks, and I’ll be back posting consistently again with renewed energy, sharper tools, and a mountain of new insights to share with you. Today, I want to give you another raw, unedited sneak peek. This time, it’s from a real

I’ve been a little quieter on LinkedIn these past weeks, not because I disappeared, but because I’ve been deep in the cave upgrading every single product in the Avagasso ecosystem. And I’m almost done. A couple more weeks, and I’ll be back posting consistently again with renewed energy, sharper tools, and a mountain of new insights to share with you. Today, I want to give you a small, raw, unedited sneak peek. This is a fragment from one of my real case-study interviews for T

Every author dreams of a moment when a reader doesn’t just understand their book, but feels it, when something they wrote reaches across distance, experience, and time, and lands softly in another person’s heart. Recently, I received such a message from a reader named Katja , who finished reading The Leadership Leap. Her words stayed with me for days. It wasn’t just a review; it was a reflection full of depth, courage, and humanity. “I feel the fire of your inner passion and
