The Thoughtful Leader: Evidence-Based Reflections on Work and Life
Great leadership isn’t instinct—it’s insight in action. This blog explores the evidence behind the everyday choices that shape how we lead, work, and connect.
Welcome to my corner of insight and inquiry.
This blog offers a glimpse into my evidence-based approach to leadership and negotiation—rooted in psychology, behavioral science, and real-world application. Each post reflects my belief that knowledge—when grounded in research and translated into practice—is not only powerful but transformative.
These reflections draw from both academic rigor and lived experience, offering thoughtful perspectives and practical strategies to help you gain clarity, elevate your impact, and build deeper, more meaningful relationships.
Thank you for being here on this journey toward becoming more informed, empowered, and socially attuned.
Enjoy,
Tatiana
Communication Tool: Assertive Confrontation and Boundary Setting with the DESO Script
“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” - Rumi
