They bring hope and new dreams at a time when we are going through challenges and transitions. I often come across corporate leaders and individuals who are experiencing self-doubt and impostor syndrome.

Many identify with experiencing impostor syndrome or self-doubt which can lead to stress and avoidance, resulting in burnt-out, poor performance and relational issues. I have helped many to grow and succeed.” https://www.sakurathinking.com/ | carmel@sakurathinking.com | Interested in the club?
