I come from a modest background. Not the kind you talk about in interviews later on to add a dramatic touch to your own rise to success—but the kind that really hurts. The kind that constricts your throat. And leaves you with childhood fears. But besides financial hardship, there was something else missing—perhaps even more important: I was a child with extraordinary potential. But no one saw it. Let alone encouraged it. I received a lot of love and even more praise. But never any targeted encouragement. Never any motivation. Never any indication of a bigger world. Not out of indifference. But because no one could. It was only much later that I realized how much I had longed for it.

And that is precisely what gave rise to my greatest superpower. Because my own potential was neither seen nor nurtured, I now often see the potential in others long before they recognize it themselves. I see what is possible. I sense what is holding them back. And I help people to recognize themselves—and to shape a life that truly matches their potential. My work is not a method. It is connection. Clarity. Empowerment. Today, I do for others what I so desperately wished for myself. And that is precisely my why.
