The key to a meaningful life lies in embracing your unique purpose and not comparing your journey to anyone else’s

Each person’s purpose is uniquely their own, shaped by their experiences, passions, and values. However, many people unknowingly fall into the trap of comparing their journey to others.The constant pressure to fit in or meet societal standards can lead to a life spent chasing fleeting achievements—one that never truly creates lasting success or fulfilment.

When success is measured against external expectations, it often remains short-lived, and the fulfilment they seek remains elusive because it is not rooted in their authentic purpose. In trying to live up to someone else’s vision, they overlook the power of their unique path, leaving them feeling disconnected from their true selves and unfulfilled.

After 15 years of consulting for global organisations such as Microsoft, Anglo-Irish Bank, and Morgan Stanley, Lena has left her successful career to start a business, which took her on an unexpected journey of self-discovery. Over the years, Lena has worked with experts and mentors to study human behaviour, metaphysics, NLP, and other modalities. She sought to understand what drives people to reach their full potential and why some possess a mindset that enables them to pursue and achieve even the most ambitious goals while others remain comfortable in the familiarity of their known world, unwilling to take the steps toward growth.

Drawing on her remarkable life journey, which included immigrating three times as a teenager and experiencing life through a war, Lena now speaks and trains on the power of emotional resilience and living with purpose. Through her proven strategies, she helps individuals cultivate emotional strength, resilience, and a clear sense of purpose—leading them toward lasting success and fulfilment, regardless of their circumstances.

In the organisational context, Lena delivers impactful keynotes, workshops, and training programs that provide leaders and teams with actionable strategies for navigating the complexities of the modern workplace. She equips participants with practical tools to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and develop a mindset that empowers them to make confident, effective decisions in high-pressure situations. Lena’s approach helps teams improve collaboration, manage stress, and stay focused even in fast-paced environments.

Lena’s own determination has led her to remarkable achievements. She became a double South African fencing champion, competing in prestigious events such as the Commonwealth Games and World Championships. She has also completed 13 marathons and 3 ultra-marathons, winning one of them.

As a regular speaker, Lena has spoken at many prestigious events including World Diversity in Leadership Conference, Strategic Leadership Summit, sTARTUp Day, Women in Tech, and many others.
