“When we talk about the lessons from the pandemic, there will be specific lessons about how quickly a virus was spreading from human to human to be able to identify these things sooner. There will be very procedural, practical lessons. But there are lessons for humanity here as well. This book goes a long way towards really amplifying those messages.”
DR SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT

LEADING THROUGH CRISIS:
Any honest leader knows that as much as leadership is a great honour - it is also a great responsibility. Leaders are expected to boldly step forward, making the impossible possible not only when opportunity knocks, but when crisis breaks the door down. Great leaders are those generous enough to offer real, raw understanding of what it takes in times of crisis and how one can use crisis-time insights to navigate their own personal and professional challenges.
PUTTING GLOBAL CHANGE & CHALLENGE IN CONTEXT
What is happening to our world? As our world grapples with ongoing instability and uncertainty - economic turmoil, geopolitical conflicts, and the escalating climate crisis, all while still in post-pandemic recovery, do we have the right leaders prepared for what lies ahead? And what can we do to make sense of it all, for the better, in our own lives?
THE POWER OF HEARING YOUR CALLING
It has happened to us all. At some point in time, we hear a calling - a powerful sense of purpose deep within, calling us to step forward and do something that really matters. It gave us the strength and courage to step forward, enabling our inner voice to whisper with absolute certainty ‘I hear you’, and do something exceptional.
