Our Ambassadors are a special group of people who represent the Self unLimited message when out and about in their workscapes. They do this because they believe in the idea and are truly living it in some form.
Here is our Honour Board for current Ambassadors. We salute you for your support.
Lisa Weber
Lisa was one of the first people to be exposed to the Self unLimited message. Such was her enthusiasm for the concept, she found five friends to form a special virtual class. Her passion for sharing the potential of leading yourself in your workscape has continued unabated. She assisted Helen in writing the book and influences the design of the learning activities.
She’s an advocate of the Self unLimited mindset as she manages people in her team, and in inspiring family and friends to a more positive experience of work.
Lisa provided an update on her journey in a podcast interview (Episode 2).
Nisha Leena Sinha Roy
Nisha was an early adopter of Self unLimited, and has embraced its philosophy and framework in her day-to-day living. She sees the value in the framework for all – irrespective of the magnitude of workscape change any individual is seeking. Nisha is a keen advocate of the enrichment that can be attained through Being Self unLimited, and regularly shares the concept and content to her networks.
Nisha’s story appeared in the Self unLimited Book. She provided an update on her journey in a podcast interview (Episode 4).
Sophia Kostava
Sophia believes Self unLimited is one of the most valuable concepts of our times in terms of how we approach, engage and believe in our work and purpose.
For herself, Self unLimited provides the framework for thinking and modelling her thoughts to develop a workscape that suits her and her values. She’s been applying it in her recent career change which has seen her move sectors from banking to education and to create a new business that is focussed on collaborating with artists to develop strategies for their project to be self sustaining in stablising artist income.
The community around Self unLimited has helped her to not feel so alone in the pursuit of working life worth living. With her generous heart, Sophia seeks to help others have a better experience of their working life.
Ali Farajala
Ali is a project management graduate and practitioner. He has over 8 years’ experience in the banking and finance industry. Ali believes the Self unLimited mindset enables him to release his highest potential in personal and professional life. He was introduced to Self unLimited as a university student working on a business project for Self unLimited. He discovered that the framework and values resonated with him as he considers the changing future of work, without knowing how he might respond to such changes.
Ali is passionate about education, professional enrichment, and giving back to local communities via mentoring and volunteering. He believes that Self unLimited helps him to be a better person and make a difference in his workscape and community.
Whether at work or home with family and friends, he enjoys listening to other people perspectives, dreaming big, having fun and getting things done.
Ali spoke with Helen in a podcast conversation (Episode 25) about key moments in his journey to becoming Self unLimited, and advice he’d give his younger self.
Ket Patel
Ket is a passionate advocate of self-determination. Having left his permanent job over 10 years ago, he embarked a journey to follow where his curiosity took him. Establishing a career in Change Consulting ensured he satiated the need to help organisations get the best out of their people, help land organisational change and to help businesses grow whilst facing uncertainty. However in addition he poured his heart into his other passions of educating and building communities around the things he loved – change, mathematics, his family and running.
Even without knowing about Self unLimited, Ket had been applying the principles of being Self unLimited in how he lives his life and works. The core ideas are a strong theme he has been building through his communities, and his active challenge to the systems via his social media activity. He shares about some of his workscape adventures in a podcast conversation (Episode 40).
Ket is building a space for young professions in Projects and Change to hone their mental and physical skills, and he seeks to spread the principles of being Self unLimited through this new community.
Past Ambassadors
We have unlimited and ongoing appreciation for those who served as Self unLimited Ambassadors in the past.
Gilbert Kruidenier
Gilbert has a curious and rebellious mind and the 7 Responsibilities of Self unLimited are great lenses to put over the world we work and learn in, to question and learn.
Gilbert is always looking to give people new perspectives and tools to help them use their full potential in new and surprising ways. Through writing, coaching, volunteering and supporting people with good ideas, Gilbert lives his own Self unLimited story. From the very first proof-read of the book, Gilbert has been a strong advocate, because he likes things that make sense and ‘just work’.
Gilbert shared a story on how he tackled renewal in his Self unLimited workscape, in Stories of the Brave.
Sofia Adams
Sofia is a person who challenges herself – as evidenced by a workscape in multiple sectors and multiple countries. She’s passionate about life-long learning and exploring new opportunities. Her extracurricular activities include shiatsu, yoga chi gung and coaching.

Prateek believes in sharing the message with his networks through real life discussions, helping them understand how a change in your workscape isn’t as complex as it looks.
