Episode 68: How to Connect with Courage with Dr. Damini Chawla
Send us a text
Welcome to a special series ‘Conversations That Count’ featuring Singapore-based professionals. This sunny island has been my home since 2009, so I’m excited to shine a spotlight on the inspiring residents I share this sunny island with!
About our guest:
Dr. Damini Chawla is an award-winning professional speaker with a unique multi- cultural background and personal story fueled by courage.
While creating healthy smiles has been rewarding, her true passion ignited in the human connection and behaviour, building courage and trust, calming anxieties, and sparking genuine conversations. Bringing her bold, empathetic energy with inspirational keynotes, coaching sessions and practical workshops, Dr. Damini works with large corporations and leaders to help teams and individuals reignite courage, manage transitions and maximise innovation helping them find fulfillment.
Here are just three key takeaways from our conversation:
- The Power of Deep Listening: Dr. Damini stressed the importance of truly listening to ourselves and others, especially in challenging situations. This fosters better understanding and creates space for meaningful connection.
- Courageous Communication: Dr. Damini shared how open, authentic communication—whether asking for help or expressing needs—can strengthen relationships, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness in these interactions.
- Managing Expectations: While we can express our needs, Dr. Damini reminded us to accept that outcomes may not align with our desires, helping to maintain healthy communication and relationships.
Listen out for the practical strategies you can use when connecting with courage in unfamiliar settings and the framework that Dr. Damini uses called Speak HUMAN, which includes steps like deep listening, understanding context, and showing up authentically. This approach can help you navigate challenging conversations with confidence.
