Ep 272 Power of Asynchronous Collaboration

05/15/25 • 12 min

The relentless pressure to reply-now, meet-now, decide-now is exhausting.

And not just for we introverts, but for anyone who thinks deeply, works best with time to reflect, or just wants to actually do their job without being dragged into the daily ping-fest. In this episode, I explore the quiet power of contributing in our own time, not just in real time. Because when every conversation demands instant replies and constant visibility, we lose depth, clarity and people.

This is a rallying cry for those who process before they speak, who bring layered thinking not quick takes. For anyone ready to rethink how we collaborate, so the loudest voices aren’t the only ones heard.

Silence isn’t absence when it’s strategic.

** Key Points **

Silence can be strategic
Depth over speed
Rethink collaboration norms

Ep 271 It's OKAY to Change Your Mind

Let's reflect on the quiet courage it takes to change your mind. Yup, you read it right. Especially when the path you're on no longer feels aligned. Whether it’s a goal, a job or a relationship, course-correcting isn’t failure, it’s feedback.

A favourite parable brings home why true leadership lies in the willingness to pivot, especially in unpredictable times.

This is a gentle but firm flourishing nudge for those of you holding on out of fear of seeming flaky or indecisive. I unpack why we introverts often cling to consistency even when it costs us dearly.

'How do I let go' can be your most authentic, powerful question and decision yet. I promise, you are not betraying your past; instead you are honouring your evolution.

** Key Points **

Change shows deep thinking
Certainty is overrated
Quiet courage matters

Ep 273 Loving How You Look

If people can hate for no reason, then we can love. And yet, we rarely love or are kind to ourselves assuming it is akin to a sin. In this episode, I share the moment I was finally able to gaze at my image with more kindness to the point where I could love what I saw, which led to me being able to love and celebrate who I am. For me, it involved working with a very special photographer, and why I recommend we all find someone who enables us to see the beauty within.

If you’ve ever dodged the camera, cringed at your reflection, or let self-criticism shrink how truly powerful you are; this one’s for you. Loving how you look isn’t vanity. It is freedom. It is flourishing.
