MONIKA AS A LEADER
Ultimately success of my life is to leave the world a bit better for others in the ways open to you. It is about spending the time of your 'dash' well in service of things bigger than oneself. I consider myself successful because I dedicate my time to purposeful tasks, empowering women, and fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals.
Leadership is not about controlling and dominating others; it is about inspiring, empowering, and guiding with empathy.
Great Leaders are global citizens, who place interests of humanity first, above national, economic or individual concerns.
The future of leadership is diverse.
When I think of a leader, I think of someone who serves something greater than themselves to the benefit of humankind.
DARE TO SAY YES! EMBRACE OPPORTUNITIES BOLDLY! STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND SEIZE ROLES AND PROJECTS THAT EXCITE YOU. BELIEVE IN YOUR POTENTIAL TO LEARN AND GROW ON THE JOB. YOUR PASSION AND COMMITMENT TO MAKING A DIFFERENCE OFTEN MATTERS MOST.

MONIKA ON WORK-LIFE BALANCE
The work -life balance is not a static but a dynamic process that requires flexibility and adaptation. We all need to be adaptable and adjusting priorities as needed. It is wise to set your own standards for success, rather than trying to meet others' expectations. This includes making decisions that align with your personal values and goals.
It is also important to recognize to take care of oneself to be able to care for others effectively.
Don't be afraid. Be focused. Plan. Prioritize. Be determined. Be hopeful. Be empowered.
