Welcome to Allie’s Notes on Human Potential!
In a rapidly shifting and uncertain world where community, personal, and work spheres are being redefined, the ability to unlock human potential and resilience will be the key levers for life success.
It’s challenging figure out the unlock — both the what and the how.
I have lived this challenge many times… that’s why here at Allie’s Notes on Human Potential,

You may be wondering what makes me qualified to share these insights.
I had mentioned earlier that I have lived these challenge many times.
It was after a series of life-threatening moments, both as a survivor of a genocidal attack and then the devastating fallout thereafter in my personal life for many years, that I experienced a key epiphany — that no one was coming to “save me” and that I was going to have to do the hard work myself of re-building. I was awakened and compelled to seek out the truth about life, resilience, and the art of thriving — wisdom from a variety of sources ranging from science to leadership literature to ancient wisdom, and my own life experience. This led to a dramatic and pivotal shift in how I lived thereafter.
I brought those powerful and life-changing lessons and insights on values, habits, and mindsets to bear, to turn my life around and then apply them in my academic, work, and personal lives to bring out the best in others. This led to outsized results as a builder and leader of innovative and high performing leaders, teams, and organizations of all sizes including in high stakes environments like Harvard and Amazon, and as a trusted advisor on leadership, value creation, and resilience to 1000s of leaders, teams, and organizations ranging from startups to fortune 500, as well as through my experience mentoring 100s of young people to high performance, including as a mother.
So now I share these insights and secrets to help those who aspire to unlock greater potential in themselves or others.
