We often celebrate success, family and love. But we rarely talk about the friendships that hold us together when everything else falls apart. This is a conversation about why these bonds matter more than we sometimes realise. It’s about allowing ourselves to be “selfish” and crucially being allowed to be “selfish”. Wise Sarbari, who has Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas stage 4, has figured this out for all of us. Thanks Sarbari!

When Sarbari Sen was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, she made a decision,"I'm not going to die every day. When death comes, I'll die only once."
This isn't a conversation about cancer. It's about choosing life while you're still living it. Listen to this honest, courageous, life affirming conversation. Thank you Sarbari. Stories Seldom Told – out soon

“When AI can decide... what is left for leaders?”
AI is changing how we work. But should it ever replace human judgement?

I’m looking forward to joining an inspiring panel at the Leaders & Coaches of Asia 2026 conference to explore one of the biggest leadership questions of our time:

The Judgement Gap: Who Leads When AI Decides?

Together with an outstanding panel, Naveen KS, Pooja Khandelwal and Mohandas Menon, we will be discussing where human judgement, ethics, wisdom and coaching become even more important as AI becomes increasingly capable.

Monday, 27 July 1.30pm- 2.30pm BST. 6:00–7:00 PM IST
Free Virtual Conference- check my linkedin post for the link to register

If you’re a leader, coach, HR professional, or simply curious about the future of leadership, I’d love for you to join us.

What leadership decisions do you believe should always remain human?

"The Safe Space We Never Think About"
We often think of a safe space as somewhere quiet. Somewhere with softer lights or less noise. But what if the most important safe space isn't physical at all? In this week's episode of Stories Seldom Told, Debasish Paul shares one lesson that changed the way I think about autism—and about all human relationships. Emotional safety isn't a luxury. For many neurodivergent people, it's the foundation on which everything else is built.
Full episode coming soon.

"One cancelled meeting changed everything"

What happens when someone breaks a promise? For many of us, it's disappointing. For someone with autism, it can be profoundly distressing. In this episode, Debasish Paul shares the heart-breaking story of his son Noel waiting to see his favourite teacher-only for the meeting to be cancelled. It's a story about love, trust, emotional preparation and why what feels like a small change to us can feel overwhelming to someone else. Coming soon on Stories Seldom Told.

“Addiction is about control. Recovery begins with surrender.”
In this week’s episode of Stories Seldom Told, I sit down with director, writer and creative producer Benji Thomas for a wonderful, honest conversation. Really appreciate your honesty & vulnerability. Thank you.
At 27, Benji reached a point where he knew something had to change. What followed was a journey through rehab, recovery, self-discovery and ultimately rebuilding a life filled with purpose, creativity, and connection.
We talk about:
Addiction and recovery
Nature versus nurture
Mental health and anxiety
The power of storytelling
Finding beauty, meaning and connection in everyday life
Three years into recovery, Benji speaks with courage, humour and remarkable candour about what it takes to begin again.
