Leadership

I am interested in leadership research, with my recent focus on the topics of authenticity and self-regulation. I am exploring how leaders can remain true to their values while managing their emotions and behaviors to lead effectively.

Well-being

I am interested in topics related to well-being and creating healthy work environments that allow people to thrive. Mindfulness has been a key area of focus for me, along with related concepts like motivation and attitude, which play a crucial role in determining individual performance.
