I was hooked 🪝
A personal journey of curiosity and life-long learning
I'm thrilled to welcome you to our small (but mighty) community.
This is a safe space where we explore the intersection of leadership, decision-making, and personal growth, drawing on the wisdom of thought leaders and my personal experience.
Together, I hope to unravel life and leadership lessons.
It all starts with curiosity
“Develop into a lifelong learner through voracious reading; cultivate curiosity and strive to become a little wiser every day.” - Charlie Munger
From a young age, I’ve always been curious about how the world works – what makes it tick. Reading biographies was a great place to start.
Immersing myself in the lives of figures like Nelson Mandela, JFK, and Winston Churchill provided me with invaluable insights into leadership and resilience.
🪝I was hooked.
My mission = making a difference
As I later entered the workforce, I had the great fortune of working in the world of healthcare. Like an artist with a blank canvas, I made it my mission to make a difference in the lives of patients and see where life takes me.
This purpose, which still holds true today, has opened up so many enriching experiences, allowing me to meet incredible individuals, grow businesses and teams across multiple geographies.
Not “me”, but “us”
As I progressed thru my professional career, working for multiple wonderful pharmaceutical organizations, with ever growing responsibilities and a broader scope of influence, it was no longer about “me” but about “us”.
Now, how do you set a larger vision of success? How do you inspire your team to row in the same direction? How do you effectively learn from your mistakes, and move on?
Learning from great leaders before me, emulating heroes, and trial-and-error, have been good compasses for me.
So what makes great leaders tick?
It's a combination of experience, wisdom, and a constant drive to learn and improve.
"You don't have to be brilliant, only a little bit wiser than the other guys, on average, for a long, long, time." - Charlie Munger
I wanted to create a platform to share these pearls of wisdom for leadership and life, to benefit a broader community of curious minds.
I hope this newsletter becomes a source of inspiration and practical advice for you, whether you're navigating your career, leading a team, or striving for personal growth. Let's embark on this journey together, learning and growing along the way.
🦉 Thank you for being a part of this community !
