"Chaos is inevitable, but thriving in it is a choice." As we draw close to 2024, I had the incredible honour of speaking at Australia's largest storytelling event on the Panel topic "Leaders Who Flourish in Chaos." A huge thank you to Elijah D'souza for hosting such a meaningful panel and to my fellow panelists Safiollah Heidari, Fotini Pratis, Simon for their powerful insights. Sharing the stage with you all and being part of this incredible experience was truly humbling. If you have missed it here are some of key messages I shared through my stories from my personal life, career and building BibVault 1 ) Self-awareness is your compass: Knowing yourself helps you respond, not just react. Actionable tip - follow GEM framework to start with Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness - credit - The Resilience Project 2 ) Build your support system: Surround yourself with people who support regardless where you are at, People who inspire, challenge, and uplift you. Actionable tip - The support network could be from your friends, community you live in, business community. Ask, have tough, open conversations and build a valuable bond. 3) Wellness is non-negotiable: Small, consistent actions lead to big results in physical and mental health. As some one said Startup do fail, but start up founders should not. Actionable tip - Pick up your favourite sport and build your physical, mental, social health through that. Bonus - Don’t forget to have fun: Laughter and joy are just as important as strategy and execution. Actionable tip - Drop your thick ego at times to bring out your inner child Storytelling is such a vital tool - it connects us, inspires action, and fosters resilience in times of uncertainty. Glad many from audience could relate and stayed back to have some deeper conversations. Thanks to Devipriya Selvaraj and the whole team in making the journey more beautiful amidst of all chaos.
