To wrap up the Women's Day Series, we present the "Leadership Snippets" of one of the strongest women in our podcast. 

She has virtually done it all - changed industries (from Airlines to Hospitality to Career Coach to Author); changed profiles (Training to Sales to Marketing to Communications / PR to Entrepreneur) .. the constant is that she's never shied away from a challenge. 

The Snippets essentially focus on what Leadership means to her & a very interesting take on what free-flowing advice she would give to a much-younger Sonnia.

This Women's Day, we are proud to present the version where we had a candid chat with Ms. Sheela Nambiar (then Sr. Director with Oracle & now Digital Sales Leader with IBM in North America). 

It highlights how difficult it is (at least was) for women in sales, how an introvert can blossom in a sales role & her key leadership traits.

It's the 25th episode today & I have the privilege of having a visionary leader on the show - Mr. Ranjan Ghosh. I've known him for over 2 decades from the time he was Executive Director in GAIL for Corporate Planning & Strategy, but he's also very keen in Quantum computing & grey-space consulting. 

Since we are focused on Leadership, though, this episode is a must-listen - where we discuss the key leadership traits, how to lead in large public sector conglomerates along with his hiring tips.  

Having passed out of one of the premium HR institutes in India, XLRI - Mayank has been with behemoths like Asian Paints & RIL before taking a 'career break'. He finally embarked on his journey to co-found a startup. 

Today we have a very candid chat on the latest topics - The Great Resignation (of course), Career Break & Motivating blue-collared workers!

I really wish I had spoken to him before I ventured into the startup world.. would have saved me a lot of heart-ache.. :)

Everyone has heard the saying “Data is the New Oil”. I have with me a very special guest today who has been at the intersection of both worlds! He used to handle data for one of the largest oil companies & figuring in the Fortune Global 500 list with profits of over $6.1 bn.

I’ve had guests from a couple of countries outside India, a couple of fellow-podcasters, an author & even a Leadership coach – but this is the first guest who is - “All of the above” - Brandon Eastman, Founder of "Be Better Industries".

This is an exhilarating, from-the-heart chat around "Sales & Sales Leadership". Brandon helps performance driven leaders break through their limitations, perform at their peak and achieve their biggest goals.
