I had a blast speaking with Doreen and Sandra. They host a weekly LinkedIn live session, "CRAFT YOUR PATHWAY TO SUCCESS", talking about different topics related to personal growth, professional development and more!

I was asked to talk about values, as it relates to personal values exploration perspective and organizational values.

One of the things I talked about is an exercise/process for personal values exploration. It includes identifying your core, aspirational and non-values.

The other thing was talking through Return on Values. This includes:

1. Alignment with Organizational Goals
2. Increased Employee Engagement
3. Improved Communication and Collaboration

I hope this encourages you further to CONQUER YOUR POTENTIAL!

Up until a few years ago, I didn’t know another communications leader that looked like me.

Then I met Rashpal Rai during a virtual conference hosted by the Master of Communications Management program (MCM). He had me at “hello” 😁.

A few months ago I had the pleasure of having a very real and open conversation with Rashpal about our experiences as communication and PR leaders.

From our initial inspiration to join the industry to strategies for gaining influence at the decision-making table, we share how our Sikh backgrounds have enriched our MCM journeys and professional careers.

We also offer perspectives for overcoming feelings of marginalization in the workplace and discuss how organizations can elevate diverse voices for a more inclusive future.

I don’t seem to have an issue talking about the work I do in leader development, team engagement and coaching. This topic is different – it brings in my Sikh faith, which plays an important and special role in my life.

What I’m getting at is … this isn’t easy to share or openly talk about!

As you watch/listen, I ask that you please do so with kindness. And share back how your background, faith or differentiation has impacted your life and career.

Here’s what we discuss:

• What inspired us to get into PR and Comms
• How we have further developed our communications skills to help get us a seat at the decision-making table
• How our unique background and perspectives impacted our MCM journey and professional career
• Advice/perspective for those who may feel challenged by a sense of marginalization in the professional world
• How organizations can do a better job of elevating diverse voices and perspectives

I was a guest on The MacCast podcast not too long ago, a space for alumni of McMaster University to share more about their journey after graduation.

We talked about starting my educational journey thinking I would find my dream career in computer science, but nothing in the program seemed to click for.

It wasn’t until I started working that I discovered the possibilities of a career in PR and communications. After graduating with a Masters in Communication Management from MAC, I launched Conquer Leadership which and also work in the space of leader development, team building and coaching. It's a privilege and a pleasure to do what I do.

I recently had the pleasure of talking with Nicole from Prospect2Win about how personal development has a direct link to sales outcomes. Working on your self-development can impact all areas of your life, including business.

Here's some of what we discussed:

I also share more about a tool to support building competence, confidence and certainty in sales is the Clifton Strengths for Sales report.

Here's more about Nicole and Prospect2win:

As the owner of Prospect2win – your ultimate B2B Sales and Accountability Partner, I share extensive experience starting with my days at Toastmaster’s. This fertile ground was where I honed my skills as a communicator with emphasis in human behavior. As an honor student in Psychology, at York University in Toronto, this seemed like a natural foray into the business world. Commercial Real Estate was another gravitational pull and that is where I found a unique footing.

I had the pleasure of talking with my buddy Luki not too long ago. He is the founder of FOCUS INSPIRED, looking to elevate education and positively impact a billion people. He does this by helping elevate and accelerate your job, career and life.

In this conversations we discuss my journey from computer science to business and finally finding my calling in leadership coaching through a surprising catalyst—a video of a teenager discussing growth mindset.

We also talk about managing ego, being intentional about life choices, the importance of faith as an anchor, and the transformative power of kindness.

I share my future aspirations, ongoing projects, and invite you to connect for further discussion.

Don't miss this episode packed with insights about personal growth, career transitions, and the power of intentionality.

It was a pleasure speaking with one of my former professors, Andrea Tavchar on her podcast PR Delivered. Here's how Andrea describes this episode:

One of the most satisfying parts of teaching is the chance to connect with former students and see where they landed years after graduating. This episode of PR Delivered spotlights Humber College PR certificate grad Parm Chohan.

Parm has pursued many paths: a master's degree; communications work; entrepreneurship; and, speaking on leadership and diversity and inclusion. With an impressive number of LinkedIn recommendations, former colleagues and professors consistently refer to Parm's confidence, professionalism and passion for his work. They also mention his sense of humour and "Parm charm".
