I am truly delighted to be featured in the book “Impactful Leadership” with a chapter where I share my insights and experiences on “Leadership in Theory and Practice, and Leadership Communication Skills.”
Authored by Prof. Dr. Ebru Ural and Dr. Nurgül Soydaş, “Impactful Leadership” begins with a quote from British philosopher Isaiah Berlin:
“The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing. Leaders are both foxes and hedgehogs. They are fully competent in their professions and the work they do… and at the same time, they are masters of human relationship skills… they have the ability to instill trust in others and never abuse that trust.”
The book bridges theory with real-life practice.
I am also pleased to be featured alongside esteemed business leaders and artists who shared their experiences and expertise in the book: Ataman Özbay, Haldun Dormen, Huzur Devletşah, Monik İpekel, Nurten Öztürk, Serdar Evcin, and Seval Bahçivan.
I’m pleased to share my article titled “Becoming the Best Version of Yourself,” published in the January 22, 2025 issue of Alem magazine.
My article explores the idea that becoming the best version of yourself is not simply about achieving personal goals, but about embarking on a lifelong journey of growth, self-discovery, and meaningful contribution to the world. It emphasizes the importance of cultivating awareness and maintaining balance across four essential dimensions: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Physical health is the foundation, supported by healthy eating, quality sleep, and regular exercise, all of which must be in harmony with mental and emotional wellness. Mental development begins with curiosity and a willingness to learn, and is strengthened through habits like reading, writing, and meditation. Spiritual well-being is nurtured through a deep connection with a higher consciousness, guided by love, empathy, and a sense of unity with nature and all living beings.
Achieving harmony among these dimensions requires self-awareness and conscious effort, allowing individuals not only to grow personally but also to positively impact those around them. Becoming your best self is not a final destination, but an ongoing journey—one where every step taken with love, awareness, and determination adds value to both your life and the world
