A personal reflection on surviving burnout and the quiet lessons it offered, about independence, receiving care, and learning to live and lead with softness.

Organisations increasingly champion inclusion, yet the people tasked with making it real often face resistance when inclusion disrupts established systems. This article explores the paradox at the heart of inclusive leadership: why inclusion is embraced as a value but weakened as a practice. By linking internal leadership dynamics to marketplace outcomes, it examines what it truly takes to commercialise inclusion beyond symbolism, and why doing so remains structurally complex

A moment of innocence turned into flames that tried to silence me. What should have destroyed me instead became the beginning of a different story, one of preservation, courage, and grace. The scar I once hid slowly became a symbol of who I was becoming. If you’ve ever wondered how God can transform what was meant for harm, this is the story behind the woman I am today.

In a world loud with opinion but quiet in compassion, this reflection reimagines Paul’s timeless message on love for our digital age. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13, it explores what love is not: not egotistical, not controlling, not performative, not disposable, reminding us that real love still protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres. It speaks to a generation fluent in connection but starving for tenderness, calling us back to love as both truth and discipline, the greatest

Over the last couple of months, I’ve found myself drawn again and again to the scriptures on love. Not just the poetic lines we quote at weddings or the tender language that speaks to both the romantic and the empath in me, but the deeper heartbeat of the gospel. This is the reason Jesus reduced the commandments to just two: Love God. Love your neighbour. That simplicity struck a chord in me. Recently, I felt my own love growing tired. The weight of life made me retreat into

Building Credibility in 2025: The Introvert's Perspective Credibility has always mattered. But in 2025, how it is earned and recognised has undeniably changed. What does building credibility in 2025 look like, and how is this loud economy leaving the quiet introverts behind? A shared realisation keeps surfacing in recent conversations with peers across research, leadership, and consulting spaces: today’s professional visibility is inseparable from digital presence. It’s no lo

I stood in the brightly lit supermarket aisle, staring at rows of cereal boxes stacked neatly from floor to ceiling. There are at least fifty options, each promising something unique: whole grain goodness, sugar-free indulgence, extra crunch, or exotic flavours. What should have been a two-minute decision had stretched into ten. My basket hung limply at my side as I scanned labels, weighed pros and cons, and tried to silence the nagging voice in my head: Just pick one!  But t
