How Can Introverts Thrive in a Loud World?

And much more!

In this episode of More Than One Box, I am joined by Shriram Parthasarathy, a remarkable individual who has rewritten his own playbook while navigating life with a visual impairment. As the head of social media operations at Microsoft Asia, Shri shares his journey of breaking societal labels and redefining perceptions.

We dive into the transformative power of open dialogues, emphasizing the importance of approaching conversations with curiosity and good intentions. Shri highlights the value of correcting misconceptions and considering context when understanding different perspectives.

We can all be so many things simultaneously and not have to fit into a singular box that we are socially conditioned to fit into. Shri’s story is a testament to living life beyond societal expectations. Join us for an inspiring conversation filled with practical insights and heartfelt reflections.

If this episode resonated, I invite you to share your thoughts in the comments. 

Thank you for listening and supporting!

In this inaugural episode, I am joined by Nuwanthie Samarakone, an accomplished global business founder and director, to discuss her journey as a diverse leader. Nuwanthie shares her experiences, breaking new ground as the "first" in various spheres and confronting the limiting stereotypes female, culturally diverse, and young leaders face.

Our conversation explores the importance of placing inclusivity before diversity and listening to what is not being heard in a room. We talk about the courage needed to be true to oneself, the confidence to back yourself, learning to turn no to yes, being accessible role models, and ways to stay genuine while challenging societal norms and prejudices restricting self-expression.
