This is the Leadership Journey series on the Choosing Leadership Podcast.I believe we all have a lot to learn from each other's stories - of where we started, where we are now, and our successes and struggles on the way. With this series of interviews, my attempt is to give leaders an opportunity to share their stories and for all of us to learn from their generous sharing.

This purpose is perhaps in my genes, and I don't credit myself for anything.""To be a leader, you must learn the art of following your purpose and listening to your inner call. And of course, learn from the worthy people around you.""Just be a parent, take leadership as a parenting job. If you take care of your employees' hearts, if you can empathize with them, everything will fall in place.""My clients are my investors. I have not raised any funds from any other party. I have not taken any loans. People believe in causes and good causes.""By 2040, I would like to be one of the most respected organizations across the globe. Respect doesn't come easily; you need to prove yourself at every step.""I would like to be more financially apprised and sensitized so that I can achieve what I want. I still feel that I somehow lack that now, and I am working towards that.""Perhaps my biggest strength is building institutions, teams that stick with me. Having people in my life and bringing them together and keeping them with me is my biggest strength.""Create that fertile land wherein you all work and bloom together. Respect differences, be vulnerable, and let people help each other grow.""Let people say whatever they want. Let me not doubt at least, let me be confident about myself. If I am confident, if I feel that what I know and what I do not know, I accept gracefully.""You need to make choices and take decisions. When you make choices, you will have to understand what is the right thing that is going to help you rise above."
