Build leaders who can lead in a changing economy.
Self leadership and the entrepreneurial mindset are no longer nice-to-haves. They are essential for organizations that want to adapt, grow, and lead well under pressure.
I partner with people-centred organizations that are navigating change, complexity, or strain and need stronger internal capacity and more sustainable ways of working.
The new economy requires a different kind of leadership.
Areas of focus include:
– high-capacity leaders carrying more than their roles can hold
– leadership overwhelm and burnout
– teams under pressure during growth or transition
– decision fatigue, regulation, and internal strain
– misalignment between values, culture, and performance
– business systems that amplify planning and data tracking
Workshops & Public Speaking
Interactive workshops that help professionals, entrepreneurs and teams strengthen their self-leadership, capacity and performance. Her workshops combine mindset, regulation, and practical tools to help people lead and perform with clarity instead of reactivity.
Known for her warmth and humour, Rina brings depth to the stage as a public speaker, sharing stories and insights on identity in the workplace, human entrepreneurship, and sustainable success, helping audiences see challenge as an invitation to grow rather than something to push through or avoid.
Speaking Topics
- the psychology of money and success
- self leadership and executive function
- decision making under pressure
- building and managing a high performing team culture
- human-first leadership, business, and performance
Workshops:
The four workshops below make up the Business Leadership and the Entrepreneurial Mindset series. Each session can be delivered as a 60-minute talk, a 2.5-hour workshop, or as part of a multi-session group program delivered over several days or weeks. Workshops include:
- The Foundations of Self-Leadership
Using the iPEC Energy Leadership framework, this workshop helps leaders see how their current mindset and energetic patterns influence performance, relationships, and decision-making. It creates a foundation for stronger self-leadership by making those patterns visible and more workable. - The Psychology of Decision Making Under Pressure
A psychologically grounded workshop for leaders, managers, and decision-makers navigating complex, high-stakes environments. This session explores how pressure, bias, emotion, and internal filters shape decision-making and equips participants with a practical framework for making more objective, aligned, and effective decisions when it matters most. - The Psychology of Sustainable Performance
A practical and psychologically grounded workshop on how people can work with greater focus, clarity, and sustainability in demanding environments. Designed for employee wellbeing and professional development, this session helps participants reduce cognitive overload, rethink how they use their time, and build working methods that support stronger performance without constant depletion. - The Psychology of Money
A psychologically grounded session on the hidden patterns that shape people’s relationship with money – including avoidance, self-worth, stress, and decision-making. Designed for employee wellbeing and professional development, it helps participants build greater awareness, agency, and capacity for meaningful action.

Previous Career
Before moving fully into coaching, Rina built her career inside complex systems where people, power, and performance intersect. She has worked across government, politics, non-profit, and consulting environments, supporting senior leaders, managing operations, and leading projects in high-stakes, high-pressure contexts.
Her background includes roles in public service and political offices, organizational consulting firms, and mission-driven non-profits. Across these settings, she developed a deep understanding of how decisions are made, how systems break down under strain, and how emotional dynamics quietly shape leadership, culture, and outcomes.
