I stopped by the Odyssey bookstore yesterday. I was curious to see if my book was on the shelf. It was. What I didn’t expect was seeing it in the “Best Sellers” section!

Watching India lift the Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup was a proud moment. What stood out wasn’t just individual brilliance, but calm decision-making, shared trust, and players stepping up when it mattered.

Crossing 20,000 connections on LinkedIn made me think about why I write here. These days, it’s less about garnering likes and more about starting conversations. Less about saying something clever, and more about saying something honest.

Meeting CKK, Co-Founder and CMD of Naturals Salon & Spa, reminded me that leadership feels human. No hierarchy. No pretence. Just ease and genuine listening. Leadership is as much about accessibility as it is about ability.

Early in my leadership journey, I learned that teams do not copy a leader’s skills. They absorb a leader’s mindset. Every day, through calm, curiosity, and accountability, leaders shape culture long before results ever show up.

When I self-published “The Inner Game of Leadership”, I wasn’t thinking far ahead. Partnering with Notion Press feels like a natural continuation, allowing the ideas to travel further than I could have managed independently.
