My mission is to spread one simple concept: keep life simple, enjoy life while building wealth. There is power in designing a life that you truly enjoy. 

If we know the kind of lifestyle that makes us happy, then re-engineering exactly the career/ business that can support that lifestyle  becomes simple👋 

I have adopted a Minimalist Life and document what I learn along the way. These are topics on the power of the subconscious mind, habits, and self-discipline. 

These are learnings that ancient minds in history practised to build empires, conquer battles, and build wealth with clarity.

I document these learnings as short videos or written posts for another fellow being who may be on the same path.

As Buddha graciously defined, " What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.😊 

For work, I run 2 ventures.

❤️Zuricka - A Minimalist Entrepreneur - Through this initiative, I enable a solopreneur/self-employed professional to design their life and then re-engineer how to structure work that makes that lifestyle possible. I share how to reprogram the subconscious mind and build a working schedule to make this happen.

❤️StraightUp Tech Recruitment - This project enable software engineers aiming to live + work in New Zealand to find meaningful work with thriving New Zealand tech teams. Instead of the vanilla recruitment model, I share with software engineers how to market their skills to find work in thriving, happy workplaces. I work with a selected few tech teams .

In my personal life, I have adopted the core principles of 
❤️Minimalism - For me, minimalism is having more peace, focus, and wealth & less worry, confusion, and overwork. That, to me, is power.

🚀 My ultimate aim is to unlearn chaos and let go of superficial metrics. Through living this way of life, I hope to inspire others too.

Zuricka Azavedo

For more than 16 years, my work has centered on one mission: helping professionals communicate with clarity, connect with confidence, and lead with presence. 

I began my journey with a deep interest in psychology and human behavior, and over time built a leadership ecosystem that empowers individuals to rise in their careers through stronger communication intelligence and inner awareness. 

My background includes a Doctorate in Psychotherapy & Counseling, certification from the American Psychological Association, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming training to help in establishing the foundations that guide the science-based, practical approach I use with leaders today.

I work with senior and mid-level professionals who want more than technical success and are looking to be the influence, respect, and a voice that is recognized in high-stakes environments. Through my signature Zenith Communication Intelligence framework, I help them move past hesitation and into confident leadership by strengthening presence, decision-making clarity, and interpersonal dynamics. 

My work combines emotional intelligence, psychology, and real-world leadership behavior, enabling clients to not only speak well but to lead with intention and authenticity.

My career highlights include:

 • Coaching and mentoring more than 20,500 individuals globally, equipping them with stronger communication, leadership, and relational skills.
 • Building the Zenith School of Leadership which is rooted in the 5 Inner Intelligence Framework with a vision to help professionals elevate self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and influence.
 • Supporting senior professionals in mastering executive presence, handling high-pressure conversations, and strengthening credibility inside their organizations.

If you are someone who believes you are ready to create a bigger influence and strengthen your Communication Intelligence to lead with greater clarity and authority, I am just a message away.
