Success Matters: Invisible to Impactful with Anjan Sampath
A heavy weight sits in your chest when you feel invisible at work.
That uncertainty about where you fit, who you are becoming, and what impact you can truly have raises many questions for young professionals.
The journey becomes a series of questions, setbacks and discoveries, often faced alone and in unfamiliar territory.
Speaking with Anjan Sampath, I was deeply moved by how raw and relatable his journey is. From leaving behind everything that was familiar to him to carve out a place in a new country, to ultimately guiding Gen Z professionals through the same uncertainty he once faced, his story is a testament to resilience and growth.
Here are three key actions and takeaways from Anjan for anyone searching for purpose and clarity in their career:
1) Ditch instant validation. In an age built on likes and replies, Anjan highlights how the need for immediate feedback leaves many professionals unprepared for the slower, more nuanced pace of the real workplace. Growth comes from sustained effort, not instant feedback.
2) Get curious about the problem, not just your role. Anjan encourages us to shift from waiting for instructions to actively understanding the bigger challenge. It’s curiosity about the problem that helps you stand out. Not simply following the brief. See where your skills can truly move the needle.
3) Build authentic influence. Titles and credentials open doors, but it’s how you communicate, contribute and connect that creates lasting impact. Rather than anxiously seeking permission, start small; offer ideas, ask thoughtful questions, and focus on tangible outcomes. Authentic Influence, the human kind of AI, is your true currency in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
Anjan’s story is proof that finding your purpose is possible, and that sometimes your biggest impact begins in those moments of invisibility. Show up curious. Show up real. That’s where meaning, and momentum, begin.
