When setting out on a journey, do not seek advice from those who have never left home.
Dear Visitor, Welcome!
I don't fit neatly into boxes—and that's by design.
I'm a researcher who asks uncomfortable questions about leadership and sustainability. An entrepreneur who builds ventures that bridge idealism and pragmatism. A collaborator on social projects that challenge the status quo.
My work is intentionally polyvalent: rigorous academic inquiry informs my startups; entrepreneurial experiments shape my research; social impact projects test what's truly possible. This diversity isn't dilution—it's integration.
On this site, you'll find scholarly articles, venture projects, and social initiatives that explore female leadership, social entrepreneurship, sustainability, spirituality, and the competing worldviews shaping our future.
I believe change requires both thought and action.
Let's connect—bring your knowledge, skills, and experience to the conversation.
Navigating from Within: Creating Our Future
-
We are Navigators and Creators—it's our human essence.
Being entrepreneurial isn't a skill we learn; it's an innate gift woven into our humanity. We are born creators, innovators, meaning-makers. Yet somewhere along the way, many of us forget this truth and choose the safer voyage—staying close to shore, following established routes, seeking belonging through conformity.
There's nothing wrong with the coastal path. It offers security, predictability, community. But ask yourself: Does it honor your inner essence? Are you living as a copy or as an original?
-
The Inner Creates the Outer.
Our human essence is creative, visionary, passionate and joyful.
How does it manifest in our daily life and our encounters?
If we want to reach our full potential and prosper as individuals and communities, we need to venture to the open sea; to embrace transformation. A process of transformation calls for us to let go of our fear for the unknown and the dissimilar and to trust our inner compass for orientation.
-
We Are in Uncharted Waters
We live in extraordinary times. Technology disrupts faster than we can adapt. Institutions we once trusted as beacons falter. The familiar maps no longer match the territory.
The old navigation tools won't work here.
Here's why: The future cannot be predicted by analysing the past.
Our minds have been trained to seek proof, to reproduce patterns, to find safety in what's known. But life isn't a mechanical equation. Emotions, intentions, inner wisdom, faith—the unmeasurable dimensions of human experience—shape reality in ways data cannot capture.
-
How Can We Navigate?
This is where inner work becomes essential.
The outer world we create is a reflection of our inner state.
If we navigate from fear, scarcity, and rigid thinking, we perpetuate more of the same. If we navigate from inner clarity, trust, and creative awareness, we open to possibilities beyond what our conditioned minds can imagine.
-
Developing Our Inner Compass
What if we stopped waiting for external validation and began trusting our inner knowing?
What if we recognised that the creativity, vision, passion, and joy we seek aren't destinations to reach—they're already within us, waiting to be expressed?
What if navigating uncertainty wasn't about finding the "right" answer, but about developing enough inner awareness to see possibilities invisible to our earlier self?
This is the voyage to the open sea.
It requires letting go of fear of the unknown and the dissimilar. It demands that we honour our entrepreneurial nature—not as business builders alone, but as life creators, as navigators who trust the inner compass over external maps.
-
The Journey Ahead
When we navigate from inner wisdom and honour our creative essence, everything shifts:
Our sense of purpose deepens.
Our choices become authentic expressions rather than conditioned responses.
Our leadership transforms from directing others to inspiring possibility.
Our ventures become vehicles for meaningful change.
We are meant to be originals.
We are meant to create, not just consume.
We are meant to venture into uncharted waters with inner wisdom as our compass.
Let's navigate together—from the inside out.
Blogging is an invitation to a conversation. Accept it.
Visit my blog.
Here below you will find a number of articles on diverse topics. I wrote most of them but not all of them. Some distinguished guests agreed to add their wisdom! When I started blogging in 2018, I was very “stuck” in my academic mindset. As time goes by I am getting more personal and focusing on expressing how I feel rather than describing what I think based on the literature review. I invite you, the reader, to comment and share your perspective. If you also like writing on topics such as female leadership and entrepreneurship, startups, sustainability, spirituality, consulting I would love to connect with you and host your work!
At the intersection of Future and Past.
Yesterdays, todays and tomorrows.
This is a collection of future aspirations, current works and past experiences. Experiences I lived as a participant or organiser of events; as an invited speaker or academic researcher. Empowering and joyful moments I shared with amazing human beings. Announcement of new events, creative sparks and exciting plans for the foreseeable future.
Walt Whitman, a famous American poet, used to say: “Be curious, not judgemental”. Curiosity about ideas and other people’s reality opens new doors and leads us to new paths. I invite you to be curious! If one of the posts catches your attention and you want to learn more contact me. Always happy to engage in meaningful conversations!
