Continue reading →: Day 39 | Trust Grows When Leaders Go First
Craig Groeschel reminded us at Live2Lead: “The leader goes first – especially in vulnerability.” Trust deepens when leaders model the behavior they hope to see. Go first in honesty. Go first in humility. Go first in accountability. Go first in learning. When leadership goes first, teams feel safe to follow.…

Continue reading →: Day 38 | People of Value, Adding Value
John Maxwell said at Live2Lead, “People of value who add value to people.” Trust begins exactly there. Not in strategy. Not in KPIs. But in feeling valued. When people feel seen, they show up differently: more open, more honest, more courageous. A team that feels valued trusts the one who…

Continue reading →: Day 37 | Repair Is Stronger Than Perfection
Every leader makes mistakes. But the most memorable leadership moments often come from repair. In my experience, a sincere apology once lifted an entire team. I saw a quiet message restore a relationship. A gentle follow-up heal tension in a team. Perfection creates distance. Repair builds connection. Leaders who repair…

Continue reading →: Day 36 | Transparency Reduces Anxiety
Transparency doesn’t mean revealing everything – just enough to remove fear. In schools, teams relaxed the moment they understood why decisions were made. In VibeShift sessions, transparency built more trust than authority ever could. As young leadership student navigating the complex terrain of leadership, I remember how I struggled with…

Continue reading →: Day 35 | Consistency Builds Confidence
People trust what they can predict. Not perfection, but consistency. In classrooms across the country, it felt safe because routines were steady. In hospitals, teams trusted leaders who showed up the same way every day: calm, respectful, human. Consistency is the quiet rhythm of trust. It tells people: “You can…

Continue reading →: Change Without Dialogue Dismantles What Holds Us Together
Some changes reshape our lives quietly. Others reshape the fabric of a nation. This is why I believe we must be deeply careful, and deeply thoughtful, before altering long-standing systems that hold our communities together. Whether it is a change in school uniforms or a restructuring of how our islands…

Continue reading →: Day 34 | Honest Conversations Heal Faster
A gentle, honest conversation once transformed a strained relationship at Damas. No memo. No meeting. Just two people clearing the air, with dignity intact. It was a conversation I had been avoiding for months. Because I feared that it will turn out into a disaster. However, when on the insistence…

Continue reading →: When Safety Feels Like Home
This week I would like to discuss something that brings me nostalgic memories of my childhood and the best years of home. “When people feel safe to speak, they don’t just contribute more — they connect more deeply with purpose too.” ~ Sagar Amlani That line stayed with me. Because…

Continue reading →: Day 32 | Safety Opens the Story
People don’t share the truth until they feel safe. And without their truth, nothing moves. In a VibeShift session, a participant once said,“I kept quiet… I wasn’t sure if it was safe to speak.” When space became gentler, her ideas flowed, and shaped the whole session. Safety is invisible, but…

Continue reading →: Day 31 | Trust Before Everything Else
Tasks move work. Trust moves people. Across every workplace – classrooms, shop floors, corporate corridors, boardrooms – the same pattern repeats: when trust lives, everything lifts; when trust breaks, everything slows. Trust is built in small, human moments: showing up on time, following through, saying “I hear you.” – owning…

Continue reading →: Day 30 | Energy Is a Daily Choice
One thing has been consistent across all the leadership moments, for me – from classrooms to corporates, from hospitals to hallways: Energy is a choice, renewed daily. Live2Lead reinforced it. VibeShift proves it every time. My own journey embodies it. Begin each day with an inner decision: to lead with…

Continue reading →: Day 29 | Evening Reflection Renews Tomorrow
In my early leadership years, some days ended heavy, yet reflection always lightened the load. Ending the day with gratitude and gentle honesty became a quiet ritual. I learned this from my leadership mentors. In recent VibeShift journeys, evening check-ins helped participants release the day before it carried into the…

Continue reading →: Day 28 | Protecting Space Protects Energy
In my experience, closing the office door for a few quiet minutes before big decisions changed the entire tone of the day. In schools, allowing teachers protected time for planning improved their patience and presence with students. In hospitals, even a 3-minute breathing pause helps practitioners reset their emotional state.…

Continue reading →: Day 27 | Joy Is a Renewable Energy Source
In VibeShift sessions, joy often arrives quietly: through shared stories, small victories, and unexpected laughter. It renews teams faster than any motivational speech. In schools, I saw the joy felt during inter-house events and morning assemblies.In one workplace, joy appeared in celebrations and everyday humour that kept the team close-knit.…

Continue reading →: Day 26 | Let Energy Match Values
Values must be felt, not announced. At Muhyiddin School, dignity is felt in how teachers treat students. At Medica, compassion is felt in how nurses speak to patients. At Damas, respect is felt in how colleagues support one another under pressure. Energy is how values become real. When we value…

Continue reading →: A Small Moment. A Loud Reminder.
The other at a shop, I heard a shop assistant calling out to a Bangladeshi labour worker in a sharp, impatient tone. Nothing about the situation required it – except that he was a foreign labourer. And that hurt to witness. We don’t admit it often, but this happens far…

Continue reading →: Day 25 | Kindness Resets the Room
I have seen kindness has reset countless rooms – classrooms, boardrooms, staff rooms, and hospital corridors. In one VibeShift circle, a single sentence “Thank you for showing up today” – dissolved anxiety in the group. In one of my earler workplaces, kindness towards a stressed colleague often turned overwhelm into…

Continue reading →: Day 24 | Emotional Regulation Is a Leadership Skill
In one of our VibeShift sessions, a participant once said, “When the leader is calm, we feel safe.” That is emotional regulation in action. I remember, in Lhaviyani, there were moments when frustration rose among the team – yet whenever the mood was regulated gently, conflicts dissolved instead of escalating.…
