Founder of The Moon Club - Dr Huang
Chen is an entrepreneur, pioneering scholar, and the first female scholar at the forefront of exploring the intersection between leadership and the performance use of psychedelics. Initially, Chen built a successful consulting career in finance with the Big Four consulting firms. Here, she recognized a glaring disparity between male and female leaders, sparking her drive to gender related leadership study in corporate settings. After she left Deloitte, she founded LadyCan, a groundbreaking global organization committed to inspiring, engaging, and empowering women in leadership roles.
Afterward, she transitioned into Tech Start-ups, spearheading international AI projects with the Dubai Future Accelerator (DFA), under the auspices of the Dubai Future Foundation, her work and life in Dubai allowed her to experience the significant male dominance in leadership roles within the culture of U.A.E. This stark gender imbalance piqued her curiosity and inspired her academic journey to research the dynamics of female leadership. She felt that if there were more research to make the world understand better about how women lead, she could create knowledge to inspire female leaders globally through research and science, which led her to enter the best Global Leadership Ph.D. program in the U.S..
During her doctoral studies in Global Leadership at Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA, she delved into the role of empathy in female leadership. As she embarked on her research, she felt compelled to broaden her perspective to encompass leadership qualities across all genders. Around this time, the use of psychedelics was beginning to gain momentum among Silicon Valley's innovative thinkers, where these substances were leveraged not for therapeutic use but for enhancing mental performance.
Recognizing an uncharted potential for the performance use of psychedelics, she determined to explore the role of psychedelics through the lens of leadership capabilities. Surrounded by Silicon Valley founders who utilize psychedelics’ power to reach a higher level of personal transformation and performance, she quickly realized there is a big potential to investigate the enhancement and performance nature of psychedelics.
This inspired her to start an interdisciplinary research project between the field of leadership and cognitive neuroscience to explore the potential power of psilocybin for performance use. Despite the lack of established literature connecting these two fields, the scarcity of peer-reviewed studies on the cognitive benefits of psychedelics did not deter her; rather, she saw it as an opportunity to blaze a trail. Chen's groundbreaking journey into investigating the potential for psychedelics' performance use has been marked by obstacles, not least of which was the slow pace of scientific research and publication.
Nevertheless, her efforts have culminated in the establishment of 'The Psychedelic Way' - This innovative coaching business leverages research-based evidence to assist entrepreneurs and CEOs in achieving peak performance through the integration of psychedelic practices as a way of life, with or without the plant medicine. Chianti is slated to present her research and preliminary findings at global psychedelic and research conferences. As the first woman to investigate the performance use of psychedelics in a leadership context, her innovative theory and framework around the concept of "Mindset Leadership" continue to shape and challenge the understanding of leadership.

Leadership capability is the inner capacity that enables a person to guide, influence, and mobilize others toward meaningful goals.
It is a set of mindset-led behavioral patterns that allow someone to lead efficiently and effectively.

Why Leadership Capability Is Important
Because we cannot lead others until we can lead ourselves.
It determines how a leader:
-
Thinks under pressure — staying clear-minded when others panic.
-
Regulates emotions — responding with intention rather than reacting from stress.
-
Makes optimal decisions when the future is uncertain or risky.
-
Communicates with clarity and empathy, even in conflict.
-
Motivates and mobilizes people toward action.
-
Holds a vision when the path is not yet visible.
-
Builds trust and psychological safety in teams or partnerships.
-
Manages energy, not just time — to avoid burnout.
-
Recovers quickly from failure or setbacks.
-
Rewrites limiting beliefs that hold leadership potential back.
-
Transforms stress into strategy rather than exhaustion.
-
Aligns thoughts, actions, and values — so leadership feels authentic, not performed.
