Perspectives of Change

In the kind of work we do today, whether that's when leading teams, facilitating conversations, or navigating change, Learning is Not Optional.It is how people adapt, align and move forward.And yet, many of the ways we share knowledge unintentionally get in the way of that learning. Not in obvious ways, but quieter ones.We default to lecturing because it feels efficient. We structure conversations tightly because we want control.We fill the silence because we are uncomfortable with not knowing what will happen next.These patterns do not look like problems in the moment. But over time, they reduce people's ability to think for themselves, contribute meaningfully and apply what they hear.In this episode between Jean-Paul Bayley and Sarika Kharbanda, we take a closer look at these habits and what shifts when we start designing for learning in environments that are complex, uncertain and constantly evolving.Subscribe to YouTube channel

In this episode Sarika Kharbanda sits down with Geeta Prakash, founder of Parama Naturals, to explore how everyday experiences, life's unexpected known and unknown challenges, and the wisdom of ancient traditions can spark powerful change.From navigating allergies and corporate life to discovering the healing power of #turmeric and mindful selfcare, Geeta shares her journey of weaving health, heritage, and sustainability into a modern wellness brand Parama Naturals.They unpack what it means to create change that heals from inside out, and how reconnecting with nature's simplicity daily can inspire leaders, managers, and change makers alike to pause, reflect and re-align.This conversation is such that reminds us that sometimes, the biggest shifts begin not in boardrooms, but in the quiet intentional choices we make for ourselves. View the Videocast of this Episode at this link on YouTubeSubscribe to YouTube channel

In this episode of Perspectives of Change, we look at yoga not just as a practice on the mat, but as a lens for transformation in life through the journey of our guest Tahera Dashti.Tahera touches on the student-teacher relationship, the role of props, and how online vs offline classes shape experiences.We also look at when anyone could begin yoga, the excuses or the internal blockers that hold people back, and what it takes to just begin.Presence, discipline, courage, overcoming our own blockers are as vital in leading teams as they are in practising yoga.How can you reach Yoganjai?

What do you do when everyone looks to you for answers—and you’ve got none?In a world where change is constant and complexity is the norm, many leaders and facilitators still carry the unspoken burden of needing to “know it all.” But here’s the truth: in complex environments, expert certainty can actually get in the way of meaningful progress.It’s not your job to fix everything.

What if everything you have ever learnt about change and social impact were totally wrong? In grade 12 Sam Demma had a high school teacher who convinced him that change and impact was not the result of massive shifts, but instead the outcome of committing to Small Consistent Actions. Sam is a 22-year-old professional speaker, avid reader and co-founder of the social enterprise, PickWaste. Due to his work with PickWaste, he was named one of the top 25 under 25 environmentalists all throughout Canada. He strives to spread a simple but powerful message, that small consistent actions will lead to massive changes. When Sam’s not picking up trash, you can find him reading, at the gym, or spending time with his family.Subscribe to YouTube channel

Trust is a key ingredient. Yet we hear many leaders and teams talk about trust as if it is some magical, hard to identify, harder to hold impossible to maintain, unicorn like creature!This is a huge myth and it's dangerous because it stop us from seeing trust as a skill we can learn, build, improve and apply in many different situations, with ourselves and others.There are soo many moments in our lives where we can increase or decrease trust.Our conversation revolves around all of this and how to start now to trust more, in yourself and others by practically exploring how to:+ See trust as a learnable skill and know the dangers of believing trust is magical+ Be a trusted leader at work or at home to successfully influence+ Build trust that is a momentum for connection and the critical success point – engagement!+ Understand that collaboration, continuous improvement or innovation will never happen without trust…never.Because once we have trust anything is possible….maybe we can even find a unicorn!Subscribe to YouTube channel

Agile will affect the way of working, the structure, the way we manage teams and communicate with each other, the way information flows through the organisation, the way we are leading and directing the organisation!
