My name is Sanae.
I am she / her / hers.
I am a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother.
I am a leader, a leadership coach, a performing artist, a writer, a yogi.
I bring in over 20 years of professional experience and 43-years worth of soul searching.
Project & Change Management, Go-to-Market Strategies, Business Development, Retail Operations, Supply Chain.
My skills to drive cross-functional, cross-cultural, cross-border and cross-industry collaborations led me to my success thus far.
All of the people I touched along the way, nurturing me and giving me learning, have got me this far.
These work and life experiences taught me one thing about people.
Overarching strategy or specific projects,
Transformational changes or continuous improvements,
Team building or cultural shifts,
Unless people truly engage, find their meaning and charge forward,
Nothing moves, gets done or sticks.
Nobody will feel fulfilled, happy or successful.
These work and life experiences taught me another lesson about people.
We need to help each other.
We need to be able to ask for help.
No humans can live alone.
We achieve so much more together, than doing alone.
We can create and sustain changes much longer together, than doing alone.
But then there came this daunting realization.
The more I worked and the more I achieved, the more overwhelm came and the more emptiness I felt.
The more individuals I got to know, personally or professionally, whichever race, nationality or background,
The more I realized with clarity that SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT WAS MISSING among us.
What is it?
We study so hard, we work so hard, we do and do and do all day every day.
We follow this notion of “success” around like there is nothing but this success that matters.
To what end?
To our individual success…
To our collective wealth and higher productivity…
The more we have, the more emptiness we feel.
Since when did we become human doings?
Where did our beings go?
And our togetherness?
I truly believe this feeling of mine is not only mine.
What is this “something” we miss?
How is this “missing something” helping us succeed?
What is success anyway for any of us?
There and then I decided, I must get on this mission.
The journey of serving myself and others as leaders so we can succeed.
Succeed in our individual and collective leadership journey of ever-becoming human beings.
You may wonder if you are a leader?
It really doesn’t matter if you “work at a company” or “lead a team of individuals”.
What leaders do –
they envision, they shape paths and they take their own defined journeys. Ups and downs, going straight or winding, with grit, with wonder, with joy.
We all do this.
We are born leaders.
I am here to support you to be(come) leaders individually or collectively that can unleash true possibilities and actions.
It is all there within you, but sometimes you need someone to help unfold relevant aha-moments in partnership with you. Let me accompany a part of your journey, co-design a path that you own and lead. I’d be honored.
