The discussion opened with insights from Amy Edmondson and Brené Brown, highlighting how trust is built incrementally through "micro moments" and the critical role of vulnerability. Asha shared a powerful personal anecdote of how her vulnerability during a challenging period in Bangladesh fostered deep team connection and enabled significant professional achievements. The conversation then expanded to practical strategies, including The Elevate School's CBI (Credibility, Benevolence, Integrity) framework for assessing and building trust. They also tackled the unique challenges of cultivating trust in today's unpredictable, hybrid work environments, emphasizing the paramount importance of a leader's consistent "presence." Finally, Smita and Asha offered actionable takeaways for both new and seasoned leaders to continuously strengthen trust, underscoring that a truly trustworthy leader models the desired behaviors and fosters a culture of open communication, accountability, and genuine human connection. Key Takeaways and Learnings: Trust as the Foundation of Teamwork: Trust is the "invisible thread" and "oxygen" that creates psychologically safe spaces, enabling individuals to be authentic, take risks, and foster high-performing collaboration.Micro Moments Build Macro Trust: Trust is not built through grand gestures but through consistent, small, daily interactions and acknowledgments, as highlighted by Brené Brown's "sliding door moments."The Power of Vulnerability (When Appropriate): Leaders' vulnerability, when coupled with steadiness and appropriate timing, fosters deeper connections and relatability. Asha's personal story exemplified how accepting help during a vulnerable time transformed her leadership journey and built immense trust.The CBI Framework for Trust: A robust framework for assessing and building trust involves:Credibility & Competence: Demonstrating knowledge, skills, and the ability to effectively fulfill responsibilities, proving you "walk the talk."Benevolence: Showing genuine care and concern for team well-being, consistency in kind actions, taking responsibility, and ensuring people feel seen and supported.Integrity: Maintaining consistency between words and actions, adhering to ethical principles, honesty, and giving credit where it is due.Consistency is Non-Negotiable: For all aspects of trust-building, consistency in a leader's behavior is vital for dependability and to avoid confusion or mistrust within the team.Strategic Presence in Hybrid Work: In remote or hybrid settings, maintaining a leader's "presence" (even virtually) is crucial for building trust, fostering connection, and ensuring team members feel engaged and not isolated. This requires intentional check-ins and empathetic communication.Tailored Trust-Building Approaches:For New Leaders: Focus on humility, active listening, observing, showing genuine respect for existing structures, and thoughtfully offering input that supports rather than overshadows.For Seasoned Leaders: Leverage immense wisdom and experience by continuing personal growth, learning, and adapting to new viewpoints and generations, becoming profoundly inspiring through evolving relevance.Indicators of High-Trust Teams: Teams with strong trust exhibit candid and respectful conversations, open sharing of diverse opinions, shared ownership of mistakes, reduced politics, increased collaboration, and a clear focus on collective goals.Practical Steps for Strengthening Trust: Regular practices include checking in personally (beyond just tasks), recognizing efforts and planning (not just outcomes), modeling accountability by owning mistakes, and leading with consistent, thoughtful intention. "Cultural listening" – observing subtle team dynamics – offers powerful insights.Model the Desired Behavior: The most effective way for leaders to build trustworthiness is to embody the behaviors they wish to see in their team, setting the "tone at the top" through their actions rather than just words. #LeadershipTrust #EcoSystemicLeadership #TeamBuilding #VulnerabilityInLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #WorkplaceCulture #CBITrust #OrganizationalDevelopment #HighPerformingTeams #CoachingCulture #EmployeeEngagement #FutureOfWork #AshaMinion #TheElevateSchool

A few months back, we got the chance to talk with Smita Warrier here on the show. She casually discussed what — for most folks — would be an anxiety-inducing and one-of-a-kind opportunity: running 7 marathons over 7 continents in just 7 days. Along with the mileage, she'd be raising money and awareness for educational assistance for girls in her native India. While she was out overachieving, we're not really sure what all we got done. We certainly didn't log a 180-plus mile week, or rack up 25,000 airline miles in the same week. Well, Smita's back in the CLT and has plenty of stories to share about her adventure — and her “why.” We're happy to have her back on this episode of The Running Around Charlotte Podcast!

Episode #209: Steps To Inner Peace & Self-Connection Join us today as Colleen Interview's Smita Joshi on Take the Leap. In this episode, we dive deep into the transformative journey of connecting with our inner selves and discovering our true purpose. Here are three key takeaways that I believe will resonate with you: The Power of Breath and Stillness: Smita emphasizes the importance of slowing down and connecting with our breath. In our fast-paced world, we often avoid silence, fearing what might surface. However, by taking a few moments each day to breathe deeply and be still, we can calm our minds and create space for self-discovery. This practice allows us to observe our thoughts without identifying with them, leading to greater clarity and insight. Asking the Right Questions: One of the most profound insights from our conversation is the significance of asking ourselves the right questions. Smita encourages us to explore deep existential inquiries like "Who am I?" and "What is my purpose?" By engaging in this reflective practice, we can uncover the layers of our identity and begin to connect with our highest selves. Remember, the quality of our answers is often determined by the quality of our questions. Detachment and Observation: Smita introduces the concept of detachment, which is crucial for personal growth. By learning to observe our thoughts and emotions without attaching meaning to them, we can free ourselves from the burdens of guilt and fear. This practice of detachment allows us to navigate our experiences with a sense of peace and understanding, empowering us to move forward on our journey of self-discovery.

No argument here. Runners are pretty incredible people, in our opinion. It takes a certain amount of self-will, motivation – or whatever you want to call it – to get up, get out there, and log those miles every day. Or even when you don't run every day. And while running might feel like a personal, sometimes selfish pursuit, we meet runners all the time who are making their miles meaningful by raising money and awareness for great causes. Smitta Warrier is one of those runners. We got the chance to talk with her about a once-in-a-lifetime challenge and her very personal purpose. Here she is, on this episode of the Running Around Charlotte Podcast.

This episode features an interview with Smita Wadhawan, CMO at SimplePractice, a leading practice management software company for health and wellness professionals.In this episode, Smita discusses the importance of keeping your customers at the center and incorporating their voice. She also dives into educating the customer about the value of your product and then showing up for them through that product.  Key Takeaways:Customer feedback should be taken very seriously and it is worth creating a formal process to give customers a chance to share their thoughts. It's important to arm yourself with data and examples when trying to sell your ideas internally, or you won't be able to push them through.The website can serve as your sales function and you should experiment with how the website can “work harder for you”.Quote: “So I would literally think of the marketing strategy as the full funnel from building the right product to getting the product in the hands of our customers, to making sure they use the product and get the most value out of it. And then last but not the least using our communications and our creative to tell the stories which put our customers front and center. We don't use models. We don't use actors. All our creative is telling authentic stories and they are all our customers. That is something that's really key to our brand, always honing in on our customer and having them do the storytelling for us.”Episode Timestamps:*(4:43) The Trust Tree: Fulfilling your obligation to your customers, who rely on your product*(15:42) The Playbook: Customer referrals as the largest source of acquisition*(34:45) The Dust Up: Advocating for staff to support conversion rates on the website*(38:03) Quick Hits: Smita's Quick Hits Sponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com, the #1 Conversational Marketing platform for companies that use Salesforce and the secret weapon for pipeline pros.

Welcome back to First Principles! If you've been listening to us for a while, you know that First Principles covers a lot of topics. Leadership, organization building, decision making, learning methods, careers, life principles, habits, people management, parenting..it goes on.But if there's a common thread that connects them all together, it's entrepreneurship. Thus, today we have a “supercut” episode about the lives of founders. You're probably familiar with our supercut episodes. Every now and then we go back to our earlier episodes and stitch together some of the most interesting conversations from them. And so, we've put together this special supercut episode that takes you through the lives of five accomplished, original and diverse founders. They are Kunal Shah, the founder and CEO of CRED, Srikanth Velamakanni, the co-founder and Group CEO of Fractal, Ronnie Screwvala, the co-founder and Chairperson of UpGrad, Gaurav Munjal, the co-founder and CEO of Unacademy, and Smita Deorah, the co-founder and CEO of LEAD School. We cover their childhood, their careers and the choices they made, all of which helped them become the people they are today.Of course, I'll urge you to go back and listen to our full episodes – but this if you're not caught up on our older episodes, this is the perfect place to start. Here's a quick glance at the conversations in this episode: I spoke with Kunal earlier this year, in a conversation full of wonderful analogies and sharp perceptions of the world. And how Kunal's childhood and teenage years, when he was thrust into work to support his family, led him to the core philosophy behind CRED.Next up is Srikanth Velamakanni, the co-founder and Group CEO of Fractal. And Srikanth's childhood, too, is an important part of his journey as a founder. Especially when you consider the fact that growing up, he decided never to go into business. Because his father would often tell him that there was no such thing as an honest businessman.And yet, in 200o, Srikanth pooled in 2 lakh rupees to build Fractal. That's right – they've been around for nearly 25 years.Srikanth tells me what changed. Next, we have Ronnie Screwvala, the chairperson and co-founder of UpGrad. Ronnie's on the opposite end of the spectrum from Srikanth – growing up, he told his parents he's never going to work for someone else. Ronnie calls it serendipity – or even karma or destiny, and explains how he went from earning 500 rupees on the weekends to running multiple successful and colourfully varied organisations. This brings me to Gaurav Munjal, who you will know as the co-founder and CEO of Unacademy. And his story starts in college – when he ran a very successful blog devoted to - wait for this -  the actress Priyanka Chopra. And then a facebook page that earned him thousands of dollars from ads.He was a content creator before it was even a profession — and he explains how this led to Unacademy. Lastly, we have Smita Deorah, the co-founder and CEO of LEAD school. Like Gaurav and Ronnie, she's built a massive institution in education, too.Smita built LEAD school as a way to completely rejig the education system and everything that it's built of: the curriculum, pedagogy, technology, even the parents' mindset. And like our other guests, she has a very interesting story driving her too – and it starts when her daughter was only six months old. Thanks for being part of the First Principles community — you can now submit questions for our upcoming guests, book recommendations & image submissions for the First Principles podcast and newsletter and much more, here.This is First Principles— The Ken's fortnightly leadership podcast. The Ken is India's first subscriber-only business journalism platform.
