In this episode, we hear from Anuradha Chugh, a leader whose life and work have been shaped by something many people dismiss as naïve: trust. From childhood roots in a secure and loving home, to boardrooms, redundancy processes, and uprooting her life across continents, Anuradha has carried a steadfast belief that the world - and people - are fundamentally worthy of trust.

Yet her story isn’t one of blind optimism. Anuradha shares how this trusting worldview was tested: being undervalued early in her career and facing the raw human complexities of leading an organisation through redundancies. In those painful moments, she discovered that trust isn’t something you hope for - it’s something you take responsibility to create. 

She also reflects on the Trust Equation, a framework that helped her understand how trust is built and maintained. You can learn more about the Trust Equation here.
