About

Hey there, lovely people! I'm a big believer in making the world a better place by nurturing the growth and development of others. I'm a natural researcher and love soaking up knowledge like a sponge - seriously, I'm always on the hunt for new insights and fresh perspectives! I'm driven by a deep internal motivation to unlock my full potential, and I'm passionate about inspiring others to do the same. I'm all about purpose and motivation - I believe that when we're fired up and focused on what really matters, we can achieve amazing things together. And of course, I'm a stickler for integrity and doing the right thing, even when no one's watching. When it comes to leadership, I'm not interested in playing the rank and tenure game. I think that true power and authority come from superior performance, passion, and a healthy dose of out-of-the-box thinking. I strongly believe in enhancing and leveraging one's strengths. Following are my top 5 strengths (taken in 2014 and 2020) according to Clifton's Strengths Finder: Strengths (2014): 1. Connectedness 2. Input 3. Empathy 4. Ideation 5. Maximizer Strengths (2020): 1. Ideation 2. Input 3. Strategic 4. Intellection 5. Learner When I'm not busy honing my leadership skills, you can find me exploring the fascinating world of behavioral economics, diving into the complexities of organizational behavior, or delving into the nuances of different cultures. I draw inspiration from the likes of Simon Sinek, Thomas Harris, Dan Ariely, Marcus Buckingham, Adam Grant, Susan Cain, James Clear, and other brilliant minds who challenge the status quo and expand our understanding of the human experience. As a writer at heart, I've authored numerous research papers, articles, and essays, and I'm always looking for new ways to express myself creatively. I'm also a passionate traveler, a lover of ghazals, alt rock, chill hop, and jazzy music, and a fan of substantial cinema that sparks my imagination and touches my soul. If you're curious to learn more about me, feel free to drop me a line at gurleen.baruah@gmail.com. Let's connect and explore the infinite possibilities together!
