Meet Uma
I’m Uma, the creator and founder of Up-Psyche. With over 25 years of experience as a financial, project, and business control professional, I’ve worked with diverse teams and complex operations across the globe—from Singapore to the Middle East, West Africa, and Europe. These years gave me deep insight into how businesses truly run—beyond numbers and processes, into the human dynamics that drive performance and culture.
Over time, I found myself increasingly frustrated by the impact of poor leadership—how it drains motivation, creates unnecessary stress, and stifles both people and potential. This growing disconnect sparked a turning point for me: I wanted to understand what truly makes a workplace thrive.
That’s when I turned to the field of Organizational Psychology, eventually earning a Master’s degree and diving into the science of leadership, emotional intelligence, and workplace well-being. Up-Psyche was born from this journey—combining my practical business expertise with a deeper understanding of what empowers people to do their best work.
Leadership should uplift, not overwhelm. Sustainable success comes not from control, but from clarity, connection, and care.
I hope that you find my insights meaningful. Please feel to contact me if you would like me to discuss other topics.
Warm regards,
Uma G. Asbjørnsen
