“The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence. It is to act with yesterday’s logic.” - Peter Drucker

We're in one of those moments. AI is reshaping how we lead, decide and connect. What do we need to let go of to lead effectively now? #Leadership #AI #FutureofWork

When I was a kid, stigma tore my family apart.
Now, I start meetings by saying,
“My mother had schizophrenia.”
Let’s make that kind of honesty normal.

#SpiritualPractice #SelflessAction #BhagavadGita

The Bhagavad Gita - Seth Kahan’s Visionary Leadership A core element of spiritual development is studying sacred texts. For most of my life, I chose the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, which I still treasure. But in recent years, I have turned my attention to…

The Bhagavad Gita starts with a meltdown—and turns into a masterclass on purpose.

Do the work. Let go of the outcome.
That’s karma yoga. That’s the path.

Life is sacred. And love, through action, is the highest path.

What if a handheld device + a trained midwife =
A mother lives
A baby breathes
A woman gets a job
A nation shifts?

That’s what’s happening in Kenya through Inteleos’s Ultrasound #GrandChallenge.
It’s bold. It’s now.
