“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

Howard Thurman

For years, I was what you might call a high performer. I dedicated my life to improving population and planetary health and wellbeing, pursuing education and training at Harvard, Oxford, and some of the other prestigious institutions in the world.

I had successfully achieved my professional dream of becoming a public health / preventive medicine physician.

Yet even the most talented among us can succumb to burnout, and that's exactly what happened to me in 2020.

For two long years, I was functioning, but on the inside, I felt stuck and no longer able to create the positive impact I had always planned for. I was afraid that I would no longer feel fulfilled and truly happy.

I pursued further coaching, training, reading, and self-reflection.

Then one day, a single insight changed everything. 

That insight is best described by Howard Thurman's message:

"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Since discovering the power of transformative insights, I've been helping fellow entrepreneurial leaders to unlock the insights we need to create positive impact, both in our lives and in the world.

I serve as a consultant, impact catalyst, and mentor at a range of organisations, including the Harvard Entrepreneur-in-Residence programme, GE Healthcare & Wayra Edison Accelerator, Verizon Forward for Good Accelerator, and Founder Institute.

You’re one insight away…
