Step 1 of 4
Input
What I am working with
Context (market, politics, culture), stakeholder expectations, constraints, and the resources we actually have: time, talent, and budget. I also name non-negotiables: values, ethics, and risk limits.
NYU Stern EMBA
Leadership is the act of continuously becoming.
Taught by Nathan Pettit
I turn values into repeatable rituals, and rituals into results across school, work, and community.
My leadership plan is simple: ritualize what I believe into small, achievable practices so I can grow with consistency, not burnout. Innovation is my engine, and belonging is my compass.
Plan anchors
- - Values become rituals.
- - Rituals become systems.
- - Systems create resilient outcomes.
My leadership lens (values first)
I lead with five core values: creativity, determination, justice, collaboration, and love. These values were earned through migration, rebuilding, and learning how communities survive and thrive. My goal is to build environments where people feel safe contributing and where diverse perspectives become an advantage.

Congruence Model (interactive)
This model is my alignment check. When results feel off, it is usually not effort, it is misfit. I use this framework to make sure what we put in (inputs) matches what we choose (strategy), how we operate (transformation), and what we produce (outputs).
Click the tile to move through the model: Input to Strategy to Transformation to Output.
If one element is misaligned, performance suffers. If all four reinforce each other, teams move faster with less friction.

Resilience and bricolage (Coutu)
Resilience is not a personality trait, it is a practiced skill. Under pressure, progress comes from resourcefulness, small experiments, and refusing to panic.
My commitments
Short-term commitments (next 12 months)
- Establish consistent rituals supporting mental and physical fitness.
- Complete the EMBA curriculum with active engagement and collaboration.
- Fulfill my role as Class Representative with empathy and courage.
- Build relationships with 2-3 mentors across the NYU network.
- Maintain and deepen ties with family, close friends, and mentors while thoughtfully expanding my professional network.
- Review and adjust my Weekly Activity Plan monthly.
Long-term commitments (3-5 years)
My long-term aim is a leadership role in which justice and equity are the mission and active collaboration is the method.
- Lead an organization or initiative where justice, equity, and collaboration are foundational values.
- Build diverse, high-performing teams that balance creativity and accountability.
- Create a leadership culture that measures success through innovation, inclusion, and well-being.
How I will stay on track (rituals, not wishes)
My plan works only if it shows up on my calendar. I use simple anchors: meditation, fitness (tennis and gym), deep-work blocks for school and projects, and intentional time with my spouse and close relationships. I run a monthly review to rebalance time, reduce overcommitment, and protect recovery before burnout makes decisions for me.
