September 22, 2026 Do I Want This, or Am I Afraid of Missing Out?
FOMO
Fear of missing out doesn’t always mean wanting something you’ve never considered. Sometimes, someone else’s decision makes what you’re already doing feel like it isn’t enough.
When a friend started studying psychology, I immediately began looking for a degree program myself. I was already learning about psychology through reading and training, but suddenly I wanted the qualification too. A closed enrollment window gave me time to remember something I had wanted for much longer.
In this episode of Lead Well! Yourself and Others, I explore FOMO, social comparison, and the pressure to keep achieving, even when part of you is content with where you are. I draw on Deci and Ryan’s self-determination theory to look at how genuine interest and internal pressure can influence the same decision.
We’ll also look at what social media adds to that pressure, how to notice what your inner voice is saying, and what you can do when something matters to you but time or money is limited.
A personal reflection on choosing what matters to you when there will always be more you could do.

September 08, 2026 Ep 138. What Are You Chasing, and Why?
Sonny Garg on Achievement Addiction
What are you chasing, and why?
For years, Sonny Garg had an impressive answer to the first part of that question. Harvard, a White House Fellowship, executive leadership and ever greater professional success. But eventually he realized that achievement had become closely tied to his sense of self-worth.
Sonny is the author of *Desi 2.0: My Family’s American Dream and the Cost of Never Being Enough*. In this conversation, we talk about achievement addiction, inherited expectations and what happens when external success no longer feels like success.
We explore the difference between ambition and the need to prove yourself, how our identity shapes the way we lead, résumé virtues versus eulogy virtues, and Sonny’s concept of the “Minimally Viable Me.”
Perhaps the most important idea is that Sonny did not become less ambitious. He changed what his ambition was for.
A conversation about success, agency, leadership and learning to define your worth from the inside rather than waiting for the world to define it for you.

August 25, 2026 Ep 136. Before You Judge the Behaviour, Get Curious
The Behaviour Is Real. The Story May Not Be.
We see behaviour and almost instantly create a story around it.
The aggressive horse. The difficult employee. The defensive manager. The uncooperative teenager.
But what if the behavior is real, while the story we tell ourselves about it is not?
In this episode of Lead Well!, I share what struck me while watching Trust Technique creator James French work with horses in Mongolia and, more recently, with elephants in Nepal. Animals considered difficult or even dangerous began responding very differently when the interaction itself changed.
That raises a much bigger question, one that applies far beyond animals:
What happens when we slow down, observe before interpreting, and become curious about what might be underneath the behavior?
Because behavior is not identity. And giving another being a voice also means being willing to hear the answer.
