| 5/12/26 |  702: EP 10 Connecting the Dots: Journaling - Building a deeper relationship with yourself | This episode of Connecting the Dots is on Journaling. Over the years, I’ve noticed an interesting contrast. Many accomplished leaders credit journaling as a practice that helped them think clearly, improve judgment, process complexity and stay grounded. At the same time, many people want to journal but don’t know where to begin or how to make the practice meaningful. This episode is for the latter.Through insights from guests like Ethan Kross, Tasha Eurich, Daniel Pink, Rich Fernandez, Bill Burnett, Rajiv Vij, Andrew Likierman and Vinay Sitapati, we explore both the Why and the How of journaling. We look at how journaling can help reduce mental chatter, build self-awareness, develop emotional restraint, improve judgment, process complexity and bring more intentionality into our lives. We also discuss practical approaches to journaling, including gratitude journaling, tracking energy and engagement, using “what” questions instead of “why” questions and building non-judgmental self-awareness.If you’ve ever wanted to start journaling but felt overwhelmed, inconsistent or unsure where to begin, this episode will hopefully give you a simple and thoughtful way to approach the practice.Crafting a Full Life – A Year Long Companion to Play to Your Potential is our guided journaling companion designed to help you reflect more deeply on different facets of your life including work, relationships, health, aspirations, values and self-awareness. Curated with reflective prompts, podcast excerpts and exercises, it is intended to help you slow down, think clearly and become more intentional about the life you want to build. If you’re looking to begin or deepen your journaling practice, do check it out. | 47m 33s | ||||||
| 4/11/26 |  701: 109.00 Hitendra Wadhwa on Atomic Leadership | GUEST:Hitendra Wadhwa is a professor at Columbia Business School, founder of the Mentora Institute, and author of Inner Mastery, Outer Impact. His work explores how leaders create meaningful change by first working on their inner world.In this conversation, we explore a different way to think about leadership. Instead of focusing on traits or competencies, Hitendra introduces the idea of activating states and how leadership is often shaped in small, high-stakes human moments.We discuss why leadership is less about grand strategies and more about what happens in micro interactions such as a feedback conversation, a moment of conflict or a shift in perspective. Hitendra shares his research on “breakthrough moments” and the patterns behind them, drawing from examples like Gorbachev’s reframing with Thatcher and Mandela’s negotiation with a military general.We also dive into his framework of five core energies including Love, Purpose, Wisdom, Self-realization and Growth, and how these translate into simple actions that can be applied in real time. The conversation challenges the idea of fixed personality and suggests that we are a set of capacities we can intentionally activate.Along the way, we touch upon transitions, early influences, and the intersection of spirituality and leadership, and why meaningful change often begins within.This episode is for leaders, professionals and anyone trying to grow without oversimplifying a complex world.Published in April 2026.ABOUT THE PODCAST:The podcast has been functional since 2016.

| 2/5/26 |  700: 108.00 Jennifer Garvey Berger on building our complexity fitness | GUEST:Jennifer Garvey Berger is a leadership thinker, author, and co-founder of Cultivating Leadership. Her work focuses on adult development and how leaders can grow their inner capacity to meet an increasingly complex world. She is the author of Changing on the Job and Unlocking Leadership Mindtraps.In this conversation, we explore why many capable leaders still feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck despite their experience. Jennifer introduces the idea of complexity fitness and explains how leadership today is less about having answers and more about expanding how we make sense of situations.We discuss the different stages of adult development, what it means to move from a socialized mind to a self-authoring and self-transforming mind, and why true growth often requires examining the beliefs and assumptions we are subject to without realizing it. Jennifer also talks about listening to be unsettled, securing the bridge on both ends when supporting change in others, and why playfulness is not a distraction but a signal of deeper maturity.We also touch upon leadership in an AI-shaped world, parenting as a leadership practice, and why small, well-timed nudges often matter more than grand plans.This episode is for leaders, parents, coaches, and anyone trying to grow without simplifying a world that refuses to be simple.Published in February 2026.

| 1/15/26 |  699: 107.00 Roopa Kudva on Leadership Beyond the Playbook | GUEST:Roopa Kudva is the former Managing Director of CRISIL and the former Managing Partner at Omidyar Network India. Over the last four decades, she has worked across financial services, impact investing and company boards, and now brings those lessons together in her book Leadership Beyond the Playbook.In this conversation, we explore what she has learned from leading at scale, investing in early-stage founders and observing leaders across sectors and generations. Roopa talks about what it really takes to stay grounded as you rise, how to think about purpose without forcing it, and why leadership is rarely a clean, framework-driven journey.We also go into the nuance of decision making when information is imperfect, how to balance autonomy with accountability, and what it takes to work effectively with teams that span Boomers to Gen Z. Roopa shares stories from her years at CRISIL, her time at Omidyar Network and the lived experiences that shaped her view of leadership.It’s a thoughtful reminder that growth as a leader often comes from widening the lens, staying curious and building your own way of working rather than following someone else’s template.Published in January 2026.

He has worked across toys, technology and academia, and now leads the Life Design Lab at Stanford where he helps people rethink how they build their careers and lives.In this conversation, we walk through his journey from the early days of design to his work with students and professionals who are trying to find clarity in a world that keeps shifting. Bill talks about the power of curiosity and play, the value of reframing problems before rushing to solutions, and why small prototypes often reveal more truth than long plans.He also explains gravity problems and anchor problems, how energy and engagement shape our daily experience, and why coherence is a reliable signal that your choices match who you are. We touch on how AI is reshaping work and why the most durable skills involve empathy, creativity and the ability to learn fast.The discussion is a helpful reminder that there is no single perfect path. There are several good paths, and we find them by paying attention, trying things and staying open to what the world is telling us.Published in December 2025.

| 2/11/25 |  689: Navigating the Long and Messy Midlife | Deepak Jayaraman | Ravi Venkatesan | ABOUT THE EPISODEMidlife is a phase when we find ourselves pulled in multiple directions—across work, home, health, friendships, and hobbies.In this session, Ravi Venkatesan delves into themes from Deepak Jayaraman’s recent book, Play to Potential. The book offers a nuanced exploration of how to unlock human potential—not just professionally but holistically—by embracing life’s highs and lows. Drawing from his acclaimed Play to Potential podcast and his experiences as a coach, Deepak introduces the FLAVOUR framework, a practical guide to navigating the intricate interplay of family, aspirations, values, and relationships.Deepak emphasizes that life is a team sport, with family serving as an essential support system. He argues that personal growth and achievement are deeply intertwined with our family contexts, a perspective often overlooked in self-help literature, particularly in cultures where family plays a central role.A key insight of the book is the recognition that life unfolds in seasons, shaped by transitions—some intentional, others unexpected. Using real-life examples and case studies, Deepak illustrates how navigating these transitions thoughtfully is vital to realising our potential.This discussion will resonate with anyone in their 30s to 60s, offering valuable strategies to lead a multi-dimensional, purposeful life. A Q&A session will follow.The Book: Play to Potential - Lead a full life, become the best you (Published byPenguin RandomHouse) is now available to order (1-30 copies) on Amazon - https://qr1.be/29Z6Published on February 2025.ABOUT THE BOOK: Play to Potential offers a refreshing exploration of human potential, emphasizing discovery through play rather than work.

Though he started traditionally—ranking 11th in CA and graduating from IIMA—he made deliberate, sometimes difficult, choices to follow his true calling. With deep inner work, he has found balance, understood ‘how much is enough,’ and crafted a life rich in meaning alongside his wife, Praveena. Ravi’s story, featured in the Play to Potential book, offers valuable insights into aligning passion with purpose."The Book: Play to Potential - Lead a full life, become the best you (Published by Penguin RandomHouse) is now available to order (1-30 copies) on Amazon - https://qr1.be/29Z6Published on January 2025.ABOUT THE BOOK: Play to Potential offers a refreshing exploration of human potential, emphasizing discovery through play rather than work.

We go to colleges, trainings and leadership development programmes for all sorts of capabilities, but there is none for parenting.

We also learn from some of the researchers on how we can be mindful as parents. If you have a child 10 years or above, the chances are, you will find this of value.We also realise you are short on time. So I have handpicked 10 nuggets from across the various episodes on parenting that I have found of value.

| 3/28/24 |  684: EP8 Connecting the Dots: Judgment - Making sound decisions amidst complexity | This episode of Connecting the Dots deals with Judgment - Making sound decisions amidst complexity. VUCA - (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) is a term that is used to describe the state of the world. Some people use BANI - (Brittle, Anxious, Non-Linear, Incomprehensible). Whatever the terminology, it is fair to say that the world has gotten more grey, nebulous and harder to predict. Sound judgment, today, is arguably more relevant than ever.

| 2/27/24 |  683: EP7 Connecting the Dots - Staying resilient through quakes | This episode of Connecting the Dots deals with STAYING RESILIENT THROUGH QUAKES. We explore what it takes to be resilient as an individual and go on to examine what it takes to create a resilient culture in an organization. Very often, even the notion of resilience is misunderstood. We examine the nuances in what the term means. Is it “bouncing back” to something or using the quake as an opportunity to shape-shift to something else. In the fragile and brittle worlds we live in, being resilient is turning out to be a super-power. Tune into this episode to learn and grow!

We pick a theme for every episode and try and look at that topic from multiple lenses. Where appropriate, I also try and bring in my experiences as a Coach and a Sounding Board and from my journey as well. In this second episode, we discuss External Self-Awareness. How do we tune into the feedback that we get from the outside world and become a better version of ourselves? The question worth asking in this context is - How 360 is our 360?
