Managing Stress And Anxiety During COVID-19

Sunita is the founder of Ampowered, and co-founder of Project Renaissance, both of which are strategic consulting, coaching and training companies. She is a Behavioural Scientist and Social Psychologist, as well as a certified deception detection analyst who specialises in Emotional Intelligence.

In the past few years, she has helped governments and global organisations enhance their people’s performance, innovation, EQ skills and resilience through emotional intelligence, mindfulness coaching and other psychological practices grounded in neuroscience & research. As one of the top few certified deception detection experts globally, she is also regularly consulted and flown around the world as advisor to CEOs & the ultra high net worth, to evaluate truthfulness & credibility in high stakes situations as well as to bring high definition clarity to decision-making, vetting, interviewing & negotiation processes.

On a more personal front, her very own experience in having battled depression and anxiety over many years is what propels Sunita to share all that she has learnt to help people become more informed about their inner world, and to demystify the abstractness of what most people assume emotions to be. Her experiences thus not just as a practitioner, but also as a patient herself, has led her on a mission to spread scientific awareness about how we can systematically increase our emotional intelligence and better manage all the destructive emotions that we inevitably experience in all of life’s ups and downs.

As such, her goal is to equip people with all her personally tried-and-tested coping strategies and tools so that they can competently find - and finally exercise - a sense of control over their emotions, and ultimately, their lives.
