Breaking through the inner glass ceiling is a powerful concept central to the programs and keynotes delivered by Preeti. This concept addresses the invisible barriers individuals create within themselves, often stemming from unconscious patterns and limiting beliefs that hinder personal and professional growth. Preetie's journey to recognising and overcoming these internal obstacles began with a pivotal moment of self-realisation, which allowed her to identify the self-imposed limitations holding her back. Through the development of emotional intelligence, she learned to confront these barriers, using awareness and empathy to drive her transformation. For those feeling trapped by their inner glass ceiling, Preetie advises beginning with self-awareness and seeking to understand the root of these internal blocks, paving the way for a meaningful and empowering journey of self-discovery and growth.
