Chanél D. Adams is the founder of The Borderline Crisis and creator of Healing Pages, a transformative journal designed to help people with complex trauma and borderline personality disorder reconnect with their bodies, stories, and sense of sacred purpose. Through a unique blend of trauma-informed care, depth psychology, and soulful creativity, her work invites others into a safe, expansive space where healing is not just about symptom relief—but soul retrieval.

Certified in Trauma-Informed Coaching through The Centre for Healing, Chanél brings both professional training and lived experience to her work. As someone who has navigated the depths of severe BPD and complex trauma, she guides others with a rare combination of clinical understanding and personal insight. Her writing is deeply informed by somatic practices, archetypal psychology, and positive psychology, helping others reframe their struggles as initiations into deeper meaning and transformation.

She is also a guest contributor for the CPTSD Foundation, where she shares practices that help trauma survivors regulate their nervous systems, rebuild trust with their bodies, and access the healing power of writing. Her journal Healing Pages and upcoming workshop series create sacred containers for people—especially women navigating the aftermath of trauma—to rediscover their creative spirit, establish boundaries with compassion, and return home to themselves.

With a voice that is both grounded and visionary, Chanél offers a much-needed alternative to the pathologizing frameworks of mainstream mental health. Her message is clear: true healing is nonlinear, deeply personal, and always possible when we dare to face our pain with both tenderness and truth.

Soy Product Designer con foco en UX/UI y más de 5 años diseñando interfaces digitales que funcionen para personas reales, en contextos reales.

Soy Trabajador Social, y eso cambia cómo miro los productos, antes de pensar en flujos, arquitecturas e interfaces, pienso en quién queda afuera de ellas. Ese recorrido me llevó a especializarme en accesibilidad y usabilidad de plataformas de gobierno digital, que es lo que investigo actualmente en mi maestría.

Combino evaluaciones técnicas con metodologías de Diseño Centrado en el Usuario para entender no solo qué falla en una plataforma, sino por qué falla para determinadas personas. Cuento con certificación en WCAG 2.2 otorgada por la IAAP (International Association of Accessibility Professionals).

Creo que una buena experiencia de usuario no puede existir sin accesibilidad, y que la accesibilidad digital no es una lista de criterios que cumplir, claro que es un punto de partida.

I solve the $2M problems that happen when brilliant technology meets confused humans.

Over the past decade, I've built AI platforms that generate $5M ARR, transformed failing products into 340% growth stories, and led 50,000+ user migrations with zero downtime. But here's what I've really learned: the biggest technology challenges aren't technical at all. They're psychological.

With my Master's in Social Data Science from Oxford, I've spent my career at the intersection where human behavior meets enterprise technology. I've worked across healthcare, finance, and global consulting at Accenture, consistently discovering that the same patterns emerge everywhere: smart people make predictable, irrational decisions about technology adoption.
I'm the product leader who gets called in when expensive AI implementations sit unused, when teams resist change despite obvious benefits, or when leadership needs someone who can translate between C-suite vision and developer reality. My "human first AI" framework is now adopted by 3 Fortune 500 companies because it works with human psychology rather than against it.
My superpower is turning complex technological chaos into revenue generating clarity. I've reduced patient wait times from 48 hours to 4 hours, cut compliance review time by 87%, and helped teams embrace AI tools they initially feared. I understand both the technical possibilities (Python, TensorFlow, cloud architecture) and the human realities (cognitive bias, change resistance, team dynamics) of making technology actually work.

Whether I'm speaking about AI manipulation psychology, the neuroscience of developer attention, or why brilliant teams make terrible technology decisions, I bring data driven insights combined with real world war stories from the trenches of enterprise transformation.
I
believe the future belongs to leaders who understand that every technology problem is fundamentally a people problem. And people problems are endlessly fascinating to solve.

As a corporate leader, educator, researcher and speaker, I explore how people grow, lead, and adapt - and then I build the products and programs that make it happen.

My journey began with a mathematics degree in Kazakhstan. A passion for learning drew me toward educational leadership, and that passion brought me to Hungary, where I earned a PhD in Education at Eötvös Loránd University. Along the way I worked with machine-learning specialists as an AI data annotator, taught computer science and mathematics in an international school, and designed corporate training programs on AI and digital capabilities.

Today I lead the Research and Product Development team at Pulze Digital (Shiwaforce), creating learning journeys on artificial intelligence, data, cloud, and low-code/no-code technologies for enterprises across the region. My work sits at the intersection of organizational research, business analysis, and capability development - from identifying what a client truly needs, to shaping the solution and delivering it.

My Ph.D topic was on organizational leadership research. In my book "Synaptic Leadership: Connecting Culture, Organizations and Identity" I examine how leadership identities are shaped - and what organizations and individuals must do to lead through disruption, not just survive it.

Beyond my corporate role, I teach project management, write about leadership, productivity and the future of work, regularly participate and speak in professional events and conferences, sharing insights from research and my experiences in corporate leadership.

I’m honored to have been recognized among the Top 50 Women in AI in Hungary, by HTE (Hírközlési és Informatikai Tudományos Egyesület),

I’m passionate about lifelong learning, cross‑cultural development, digital future and open to professional discussions and collaborations around it.
