First comes the farce, then comes the tragedy

My talk at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health focused on three key principles 1. Your story precedes your performance 2. The art of selling the problem before the solution 3. The narrative around/about your work needs as much structure as your body of work. #story #talks #academics #lead

Good conversation and good company are the only two things am looking forward to in 2025. Inspiration comes from associating people that are different yet share a common passion for progress. Pick your table wisely , and your company sparingly.

Most people want to be heard. Few learn how to listen. Fewer still learn how to hold silence— because silence confronts the noise inside. Master that… and every room begins to shift. #Leadership #ExecutivePresence

The most dangerous trait in a high performer isn’t arrogance. It’s adaptability without alignment. They shape-shift for every room… until they forget their own shape. Flexibility at the cost of identity is how imposter syndrome is born. #truenorth

Just left #Mangalore, but part of me stayed behind. Not in the hotel. Not in the hall. But in the hearts, handshakes, and head-nods at #Crescendo25. This wasn’t just a conference. It was a collision of clarity, courage, and calling.

Professional speaking is about being interesting on stage, not force-feeding your audience. The art of keeping your audience curious is probably the single most important skill you need to master to hold the attention of the room. #Vietnam #2025 #speaking #Leadership
