SIMONE AS A LEADER

Success is defined by the positive impact you create, measured through personal resilience and the ability to inspire others.

Leadership is not easy but brings many opportunities to guide future generations.

Great Leaders show their compassion and emotions.

The future of leadership is female and neurodiverse.

When I think of a leader, I think of Amma, a spiritual leader building hospitals for children all over the world.

SIMONE ON WORK-LIFE BALANCE AND MENTAL HEALTH

Simone navigates her work-life balance by engaging in lifelong therapy and coaching to manage her physical and psychological challenges, including autism, chronic pain, and depression. She employs coping strategies such as reframing thoughts, calming strong emotions with skills training, and refocusing techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These practices help her manage negative feelings and maintain resilience. Simone believes that managing panic attacks has equipped her to handle business emotions more easily, demonstrating her strength in the face of adversity.

SIMONE ON SUPPORTING NEURODIVERSE WOMEN*

In 2024, Simone founded "neurodiverse women* & female allies", a business network for neurodiverse women* to meet, network, and share knowledge about mental health, life plans, and professional relationships. This initiative reflects her commitment to supporting and empowering neurodiverse women* who often face discrimination in the workplace. Simone’s advocacy for this community is inspirational, as she stands up for those who navigate unique challenges, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for their growth and success.
