There’s a paradox in leadership.
Most organisations have policies written down — health and safety, dignity at work, codes of conduct. On paper, they look impeccable. Yet the harm doesn’t come from what’s written. It comes when leaders look away.

When someone speaks from a place of direct experience, you can feel it. Not just in the words, but in the rhythm underneath them.

That’s what struck me in this conversation with Sahasrajit Ramesh — not just what he said, but the way it stayed with me. He wasn’t selling insight. He was living it.

We didn’t start with productivity, leadership hacks, or frameworks. We started somewhere more basic — and more vital.

We started with aliveness.
