✉️ hi [at] niharikasodhi [dot] com

Coming to the 'story'...

I'm a writer. And with that, I also became an educator and entrepreneur.

I side hustled for 10 months in 2020 because something was missing. 

I refuse to believe you shouldn't be kicked to go to work when you wake up. I refuse to believe that you need to reach a certain 'level' to do high-impact work. Labels and designations aren’t exciting either. 

And I strongly believe that there's enough wealth we can all create if we play by the mindset of abundance and not scarcity.

We have a duty to be of service to other people. And we only have one chance at life to tap into our potential and unleash it.

So I quit my job in 2021 to write full time.

That led to:

• becoming a 22x top writer on Medium
• creating digital products 
• having a cohort-based course that's educated 100+ people across 30+ countries 
• getting accepted to LinkedIn Creator Accelerator Program 

As a writer, my purpose is to leave everyone healthier and happier. 

As an educator and entrepreneur, I want to help other creators level up their game and solve their problems.

I'm passionate about healthy living, reading, and mindfulness. I've also travelled to 24 countries and still have fear of flying.

I help writers become more consistent with my cohort-based programme that takes place 4 times a year.

Being a working woman versus a working MOM is a world of a difference… 

I now understand why my mom worked part time. 

I now understand why many women in my family are homemakers. 

Because 

➡️ It’s a 24h job to raise a kid. 

➡️ That + other housework = 2 jobs. 

➡️ The above + professional work = 3 jobs. 

While I’m slowly transitioning to get back to my work with a 2.5 month old 👶🏻, I’m grateful that I’ve built a business that doesn’t require over 3 hours a day of my time. 

This took years to build but is paying me back when I need it the most. 

But if I didn’t have this… I don’t know how I would’ve done it.

So this Women’s Day 🩷, I want to give a shoutout to all mothers. You’re not seen, your work may feel invisible, and maybe that invisibility is way too normalised to appreciate. 

(All this - whether you’re ‘working’ or not) 

But I see you, feel you, and I can’t believe I’ve never appreciated the multiple roles a mother juggles. 
 
Happy Women’s Day 🫶🏼

8 years ago this day, I traveled solo for the first time. 

As a disclaimer, 
- I’m introverted, and 
- I don’t make friends easily

Honestly, I was SO anxious.

I zipped my passport and phone in my jacket at night and hugged them under the blanket before I slept. 

The first night, I didn’t sleep at all and imagined the worst possible scenarios that could happen to me. My hostel dorm had 32 people and my bed was right next to the door, so there was that noise too. 

The next day, I stepped out of my comfort zone to have some small talks over breakfast. 

In the evening, I hung out with hostel mates from around the world. 

I realised I enjoy sightseeing alone, especially in museums. I didn’t even imagine I’d be somebody who enjoys museums!

But I also enjoyed hanging out with people and listen to their stories. There’s something different about being in a room full of people from around the world, and that ‘different’ is what makes it amazing. 

This was the first time I spent time with myself and my thoughts in a place I don’t know at all.

The next two nights, I slept like a baby. 

Who knew, it’d lead me to travel solo nine more times. But that’s a story for another time. :) 

Stepping out of your comfort zone can unleash a whole new path for you. Try it?

#travel #summit21 #sprinterstribe

For 4.5 years, I’ve helped parents from 37+ countries to write online consistently. 
All this without being a parent myself. 

The good part? That stuff worked for them because the systems of writing and consistency I teach were tailored well around them. 

The challenge?

I’m in their boat now. 

So here’s how I’m writing with a newborn 👶🏻 - most of the time, when she’s on my tummy sleeping 🤣

Turns out, it’s not just me 😅

Another mum of a newborn DMed me saying she’s doing her client work during tummy time too. 

(I feel less alone and weird lol) 

➡️ One thing that stays constant is that it’s MUCH easier to show up for ANYTHING, when you enjoy it. 

Without any outcome attached. 

For the sheer joy of the process alone. 

It’s why I’m able to workout. 
It’s why I’m eating healthy food. 
It’s why I write even though I don’t have to. 

And it’s why I continue chickening out of social gatherings 😁

19 days, 7 cities, 6 countries, 21 years old.

This day eight years ago, I travelled solo.

Coming from a place where girls don't venture out alone, leave aside going to a different city or country, I took a leap of faith.

Of course, my socially awkward self was super nervous. I *still* have a hard time talking in social situations and meeting new people.

In this picture, I'm in front of Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany.

I arrived in Berlin and a few minutes into walking from my train station to my hostel; I had a racist encounter. Two women looked at me, passed a remark, and spat on the road. 

Then they giggled and carried on. I was so scared! I wanted to cancel everything and go back.

But this was my *only* racist experience in 19 days.

On my first day, I was starving and entered the first cafe I saw. The owner didn't know English and I didn't know German. I somehow communicated 'cheese sandwich' and later got to know cards weren't accepted.

That man waited for 45m for me to find an ATM and get back to him. Not sure how he knew I'd return.

People told me not to ask the locals to click photos, as they can be rude. They not only clicked my pictures, but a couple even walked me to my destination when I couldn't comprehend Google Maps.

Here's what I learnt:

"Look at the world with a blank slate and let experiences fill in the colour. Let go of your preconceived notions."

None of the generalisations I was told were true. More on this in the coming days. :)

____

For the next few days, I'll share my five most transformative experiences from this trip.

This is part 1/5. 

PS - cities visited are Berlin, Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg, Bratislava, Ljubljana.

#travel #lifelessons #sprinterstribe

Being a solopreneur looks ‘unproductive’ from outside. Trust me. 

On random weekdays, I
- meet mom for lunch
- head out for coffee date with the husband
- stay back with my grandma coz we can't get enough of gossip

When I do this, my total time worked is sometimes just... 2 hours!

Unproductive, right? 

I used to think so too in my beginning days and feel like I’m not doing enough and I’ll lose the race. 

Until I realised:

• this isn’t a race, and that’s why I quit one race. 

• I need to stop measuring work in hours and measure business impact. 

• the point of quitting my job at 25 was to be happy and make time for things that matter. Family is priority one. 

Gotta stop feeling guilty because I doubt at 60 I’ll think of “I wish I worked on that article”.  

It’s easy to slip into feeling you’re not doing enough. But the best thing about solopreneurship has been

• owning the finite - my time 
• an ease of just… being 
• more mental peace 
• more family time
• doing what I love 
• better health 

Happy Tuesday, and I hope you achieve all that you’re striving for. In that process, don’t forget to monitor how you speak to yourself and be kind. 

Easy to preach kindness, difficult to give it to yourself. :) It’s time you do that.

This one experience challenged me on an emotional, physical, and mental level, even though I’ve done plenty of ‘inner work’.

Pregnancy!

💪🏼Physical level:

- My body was changing drastically, and I had days when I’d cry because I couldn’t recognise it.
- Tiredness has a whole different meaning.
- My acne reappeared after years and didn’t go for months.

🧠Mental:

I felt depths of sadness I never thought an optimistic and aware person like me had the ability to feel.

💫Spiritual

- I was negative, hopeless, and upset. 
- I became pessimistic instead of my naturally optimistic self


I guess life has a way of putting you through things so you can come back stronger. 
So during my time off during my maternity leave, I hope I do too. 

With newer realisations, goals, and more.

Your content is flopping because the algorithm isn’t ‘picking it up’? Join the club 👀

I’m seeing a lot of discourse on people blaming the algo for their content not growing. 
Yet their most recent post is a platitude 🤨 

So if you’ve been posting consistently but your content still isn’t getting you reach or conversions… 

You might be missing the #1 thing that matters: 

Proof > Theory

I was on the same bandwagon when I started writing online. My content didn’t grow for months.

But then I cracked the code and well… The results are in front of you. 

Tomorrow, I’m decoding why your content might not be landing and how to fix it without posting more or reinventing yourself.

This issue of Side Hustle Saturdays includes:

 ➡️ the real reason your posts feel forgettable
 ➡️ the #1 writing mistake every creator makes
 ➡️ how to build visibility without trying to “sound smart”
 ➡️ the system that makes consistency easy

If you’re creating but not growing, this will help you see what to change.

Side Hustle Saturdays just turned 200 weeks old 🎉 And I’m celebrating:

 💫 5 years of side-hustling
 💫 4 years of solopreneurship
 💫 zero planning, just a whole lot of showing up

In case you don’t already know, it’s my weekly newsletter.

People marvel at the end result:

- the 3-hour workdays
- the time/location freedom 
- the “wow, you’re so lucky” comments

But I know what it actually took was:

- Being questioned, misunderstood… constantly
- Making sacrifices no one claps for
- Doing the inner work most people avoid

Side hustling isn't cute 🙄 

It teaches you who you are, what you can handle, and what you’re capable of becoming… 

In ways a job, a degree, or a networking group never could.

It’s growth in its rawest form.

This week’s issue is special to me.

I’m sharing 20 hard truths about side hustling 💪🏼

What I wish someone had told me when I was starting out. These will make your journey easier if you accept them.

🥂 Here’s to the next 100 issues… and to you building something that’s 100% yours.

When I'd tell my family that I don't enjoy my work and am not satisfied with the money, they'd say - "it's how the first few years are. You'll get there."

Call millennials and Gen-Z impatient but time's moving too damn fast, especially with technology and not all of us want to work till eternity. 

"Earn with your mind, not with your time." - Naval Ravikant

Yes, humility is important. Gratitude is even more essential; it's what makes every day a blessing.

But dissatisfaction is important too. Because when you know what you're not ok with, you work to bridge the gap between your dream and reality. 

For me, this was the following exactly in this order:
• starting a side hustle
• quitting my job
• working under 4h a day
• teaching
• creating digital products

For you, it will be different. But the first step is being aware.

I'll end with one last quote,

“There is no passion to be found playing small—in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” ― Nelson Mandela

Back in 2020, my dream was to make $1,300/month.

I was publishing a few articles a month, making $100–$300 from random gigs.

It wasn’t a lot, but enough to stay excited. 

But one day I asked myself: 

What if I actually go all in?

5 months later, my side hustle income crossed $3,000/month 🤯

That was 5x my monthly corporate salary!!!

That number changed my mindset about money and how the world + creator economy works.

- It gave me options
- It gave me confidence
- It gave me the freedom to quit my job

Many people underestimate how life-changing your first $1,000 outside your 9–5 really is.

Tomorrow, I’m sending out the 199th issue of Side Hustle Saturdays – a free newsletter where I share the cheat codes I wish I had when I started building my side hustle. 

💥 This one’s got the top 5 steps to making your first $1000 outside your full-time job. 

Sounds like something you’d love?

As a woman, being a solopreneur is the most empowering move I’ve made for myself. I’ll show you how, and I’m certain you’ll be able to resonate:

💍Being married as a financially independent woman in the South Asian society is a power move.

🤝🏼As a couple, things get a lot easier when you’re both earning well. We travelled ~15 countries in the first 2 years.

🙈I’m one of those people whose partner is their favourite human. Because I work fewer hours and WFH, I prioritise my time with him when he’s home. No meeting can come between us having chai and gossiping.

👩‍👧‍👧I hang out with my mom on weekdays over lunch most of the time. Because who wants to deal with weekend parking and rush.

🥰 I’ve realised that unlimited family time adds a lot of value to my life - nothing I can buy can make me feel the way I feel with my loved ones.

🧘🏻‍♀️Most importantly - I have time for myself. 

_

As women, we juggle multiple responsibilities. And solopreneurship makes it easier for me to do it all and stay sane.

It’s also because as a person, I prefer a life that isn’t rushed.

You could be different, and that’s okay.

The entire point of life is to discover your inner weird streak and create a life nourish it.

Your personal brand stands out by doing the easy stuff, but you're probably too busy trying way too hard!

Okay, here's what I do:

• 98% YouTube videos are made without make-up
• No professional lighting or camera for videos
• All photos are unedited

With my LinkedIn and newsletter writing,

• I don't stress about the likes
• I write about what I think adds value
• I don't shy away from my quirks/ weirdness

I've realised that it's easier to be me and say: "I'm lazy, so I can only work for 3-4 hours. I dislike networking events and social stuff."

Than to portray myself as someone who wakes up at 5am and is crazy productive.

My journey of solopreneurship is a consequence of self-awareness.

And while the internet lures you with vanity metrics to chase, I recommend you start and lead by looking within :)


PS: Here's a YT thumbnail photo from the front camera!

My grandfather always topped his studies. In fact, excellent is an understatement and he truly enjoyed learning. He wanted to join the army, but his father passed away when he was 17.

Being the eldest of six siblings, his only choice was to take care of his family and work at the farm.

So what did he do in the coming decades? 

Devoured himself in books. Today, he has sacks filled with books. Ask him about any war and empire with names and dates, and he knows it all.

I wasn’t a history buff, but my dad had the gene, thanks to his father.

19 days, 7 cities, 6 countries, 21 years old - I did this solo trip eight years ago at this time.

One day, I casually called my father while walking by the Berlin Wall (picture below) and told him I’m taking a stroll.

“Do you understand that there’s so much history beneath your feet? People have died crossing where you’re standing and fearlessly walking right now.”

That sent chills down my spine.

Standing at a place where the ground has experienced so much darkness, and now light.

For the coming days, I made sure to research deeper about everywhere I go so I can take a moment to visualise the past and compare it to the present.

This experience to date has put me in a habit of zooming out and living a holistic life instead of a tunnel vision of 'my' life, 'my' stuff, and 'my' world.

Don't forget to appreciate how easy your life is as compared to your ancestors instead of cribbing about things.

Don't forget that you're a part of something bigger than yourself, and everything is connected.

Don't forget to send your prayers to the world instead of asking for what you want.

For the next few days, I'll share my five most transformative experiences from this trip.

This is part 2/5.

#travel #experience

Were you always average growing up? Were you low on confidence? Did you always feel like you weren't good enough? ME TOO :)

- Average marks
- No sports
- Overweight until 18 
- Lots of acne till 2023
- Too tall that makes me stand out
- Got laid-off from my first job (low self-worth got lower)

I see a huge opportunity in this.

I've also noticed that the high performers in school and university don't always end up achieving life outside of it.

Maybe it's the pressure because they're only used to winning?

I don't know.

But people like you and me have a huge advantage because:

- Nobody expects from us. Including us, lol.

This is AWESOME because we don't function with results attached to things. We focus on the process and enjoy the process because we're not used to 'winning' at everything growing up.

When you focus on the process, outcomes follow.

But when you focus on outcomes, you'll always be unhappy.

I love this line from the Bollywood movie, 3 idiots:

"Chase excellence and success will chase you."

Noy being used to success helps us with that.

So don't let your past define your future. I dropped 25kgs 10 years ago and I still need to work hard every single day with my exercise and eating habits because of my genes. I still workout 6x a week and eat healthy everyday.

But this journey has taught me the importance of patience, hard work, and delayed gratification. 

Traits that I'm using across areas of life.

All the best!

One of my friends is 26 and is working hard to climb up the ladders in one of the best firms in the world. 
 
If you know about the top consulting firms that pay a bomb and make you slog for it, you know the place I'm talking about. 
 
He sleeps 5-6 hours a day so he can squeeze in a workout. 
 
He says most of his leaders look older than they are because of receding hairlines and a belly. They don't have the time to work out and the long hours screw up healthy eating habits too. 
 
So he sleeps less, squeezes in a workout, has quit alcohol and eats healthily because he doesn't want to be unfit. 
 
My conversation with him reminded me of my ex-boss. 
 
She worked 14 hours a day and all weekends. She also had kids. And her boss worked 12-16 hours + weekends. 
 
Motivation for me to get a promotion? Looking at them, zero. 
 
"It's also our collective delusion that overwork and burnout are the prices we must pay in order to succeed." — Arianna Huffington

We have more people playing the victim mindset. They lose out on all opportunities, and might never know it.

There’s too much of:
- The world is unfair
- One is meant to struggle
- Blaming environment and circumstances
- Money is evil (while they secretly desire money)

A mind like this will…

Stay where it is.

What makes it worse is social media. It’s constantly making you feel ‘less’.

It’s so hard to feel good about anything when it ultimately isn’t ‘good enough’ because what someone else has is better.

The good thing about your beautiful mind? 
You can require it just as well.

So more of:
- There’s enough for everyone to succeed
- Money is GOOD, you deserve it
- Action towards ideas
- Taking responsibility

Rewire your mind to change your inner universe, and you’ll see your other universe flourish.

This costs and $0 makes you better than others:

• reading
• kindness
• no drama
• working out
• self-awareness
• accepting you're wrong
• choosing relationships > ego

You don’t need more exposure, money, or connections. Back in 2020, I had none of those going for me.

No mentor. No plan. No audience.

And honestly… no idea what I was doing.

But, while everyone else waited for the ‘right time’, I posted my first Medium article and prayed someone would read it. 

(8 people did, and I was thrilled!)

I wasn’t the most talented or the most confident. But I thought,

“I’ll start now, and figure it out later.”

That one sentence carried me from cheating on my 9–5 → to quitting → to growing a ~250k online audience → to launching digital products + courses to 16,000+ people across the 🌍

Resourcefulness built my entire career.

Tomorrow, I share why this is the skill that makes you unstoppable in 2026… and how to:

 ➡️ build it even if you feel like you’re starting from zero
 ➡️ start before you feel ready
 ➡️ stop crumbling when things go wrong
 ➡️ make resourcefulness your advantage over everyone

If you’re done overthinking and just want to move, this one’s for you.

Make peace with this to avoid disappointment:

• Nobody cares about you
• Not everything is about you
• Your past doesn't define your future

Once you detach from being the centre of your universe, you'll come close to what truly matters.

Come closer to
• Finding why you're here
• Doing your crazy dance moves
• Defeating societal notions and following your zing

As a new mom, I can’t imagine my ex-boss’ lifestyle that involved working 14 hours a day + weekends sometimes.

When I was in a corporate, I saw my leaders working 12-14 hour shifts frequently. Their lives were hectic and stressful.

As a 24-year-old, I wanted to grow to
• get a promotion
• get a 'managing' role
• get paid super well (duh)

But I also saw that this would come with
• lots of responsibility
• increase in workload + stress
• working weekends is becoming normal

It's one reason I wanted to get away from this black hole.

As a 29yo new mum, I’m glad I side-hustled at 24 and quit my job at 25.

This quote fits in beautifully with what I witnessed:

"By working faithfully 8 hours a day, you may eventually get to be the boss and work 12 hours a day." - Robert Frost

The point isn't whether to work for 4h or 12h, it's doing what works the best for you, your health, your family, and sanity. 

One template doesn't fit all - some people thrive with 10-hour days, I personally don’t and have accepted it + created a life around my being instead of the other way round.

Never trade your nervous system for a salary.

Most people think job changes are mainly about money.

But over time, something else becomes obvious.
People move to places where work doesn’t feel like pressure.

Because a higher paycheck rarely makes up for:

↳ Sunday night anxiety
↳ fear of telling the truth
↳ a 11:40 pm “urgent” message
↳ the feeling of not being heard
↳ constant tension of “don’t mess up”

We often call it “being tired.”
But it’s actually a lack of safety.

That’s why peace of mind has become the new currency in the job market.

It looks simple, 
but it’s built every day:

• support instead of blame
• dialogue instead of silent tension
• respect for time instead of overtime
• meaning instead of endless “shoulds”
• clear expectations instead of guessing

People don’t leave because of hard tasks.

They leave the atmosphere where every task turns into stress.

So the question for every leader is simple:
Does your team feel calmer or more anxious because of you?

Because sometimes the strongest benefit isn’t a bonus.

It’s the ability to work without constant inner tension.

What creates “peace of mind” at work for you?

This leadership skill holds teams together in hard moments.

When everything goes according to plan.

Almost any leader can look confident.
The real test starts when things go bad.

And kindness is often the one thing that saves the team in those moments.

It is simple:

A mistake. 
A missed deadline. 
Numbers dropping.

And suddenly you see the real person behind the title.
Because pressure reveals leadership fast.

Some leaders react with fear.

And fear always looks the same:

↳ control instead of trust
↳ harsh words instead of clarity
↳ blame instead of responsibility
↳ public humiliation instead of private feedback

In teams like this, people learn one rule quickly:

Hide the bad news.

• So problems get buried.
• Meetings go quiet.
• Risks are raised too late.
• People stop taking initiative.

Not because the team is weak.
Because the culture is unsafe.

But there is another type of leader.
The one who stays kind when it is hard.

Keeps a human tone.
Holds standards without breaking people.

They ask:

→ What happened? 
→ What do we fix first? 
→ What support do you need from me? 
→ How do we make sure this does not happen again?

This is not softness.
This is emotional strength.

And it is rare.

So, if a leader stays kind when things go bad, 
you’ve found the right leader.

What is the strongest sign for you that a leader can be trusted under pressure?

True leadership isn’t about being #1.

It’s about treating everyone like they’re #1:

↳ your team,
↳ your clients and audience,
↳ your partners and peers.

That’s why servant leadership is the new standard.

But most leaders confuse it with being convenient.
And that almost always ends with a loss of effectiveness.

Because a team doesn’t need someone who agrees with everything.

A team needs someone who protects what truly matters: 
growth and the ability to speak openly.

Because true service is about creating the conditions
where people can do their best work.

Servant leadership isn’t about:

• Avoiding conflict
• Pleasing everyone
• Saying “yes” to everything

Servant leadership is about:

• Lifting others up
• Supporting growth
• Empowering others
• Clearing roadblocks
• Leading from behind
• Amplifying quiet voices
• Coaching, not controlling
• Creating safety to speak up

Strong leaders don’t try to please everyone.
They transform:

→ Control → into coaching.
→ Politics → into clear agreements.
→ “I’ll decide” → into “I’ll help you decide.”
→ Fear of mistakes → into the courage to speak up.

Because when there’s space to speak openly,
people don’t hold back.

They challenge.
They contribute.
They take ownership.

And that’s how effectiveness happens.

Which habit of a convenient leader do you see most often in teams?

Here’s why most KPIs don’t work:

Many companies build their systems around numbers.
But not around people.

Because if people aren’t motivated and don’t feel safe, 
no metric will save the outcome.

The real KPIs are the small signals that keep a team moving:

→ Keep people invested in results 
when everyone knows what “winning” looks like.

→ Keep people inspired by purpose, 
so work feels meaningful, not automatic.

→ Keep people included in decisions, 
because ownership grows where voices matter.

→ Keep people in sync with priorities, 
so energy goes into the few things that actually move the business.

→ Keep people informed about change, 
because uncertainty kills focus faster than workload.

→ Keep people innovating without fear,
because fear stops initiative, and without initiative there’s no progress.

You can track revenue, retention, performance.

But if you don’t track the human system behind them, 
you’ll keep coming back to the same problems again and again.

So start measuring what keeps your team energized and engaged, 
and the numbers will follow.

Which of these KPIs has the biggest impact on your motivation to perform at your best?

The fastest way to lose a strong team...

Not pressure.
Not competition.
Not even tough deadlines.

It’s the absence of kindness.

The most underrated superpower in leadership.

People do their best work where they feel safe, respected, and seen.

Because when kindness disappears, 
people don’t become stronger.

They become guarded:

→ they stop taking risks
→ they stop fully showing up
→ they stop sharing ideas early

Here’s what KINDNESS looks like in action:

K — Kick the ego 
Lead with humility. No one trusts a know-it-all.

I — Inclusion 
Invite diverse voices into every conversation.

N — Nurture 
Check in regularly, not just during performance reviews.

D — Decency 
Keep your word, even when it’s inconvenient.

N — Notice 
Celebrate small wins as often as big milestones.

E — Empathy 
Ask “How are you?” and listen without rushing.

S — Support 
Be someone people can talk to, not tiptoe around.

S — Soft strength 
Set boundaries with clarity and respect.

If you want a team that moves fast, speaks honestly,
and grows, start here.

Kindness isn’t a nice bonus.

It’s how you hold high standards without devaluing people.

What kind act from a leader changed how you saw them?

These 7 types of leaders are remembered with gratitude.

(they change your life forever)

The leaders we remember don’t just deliver results.
They unlock your potential.

Years later, you may forget the project.

But you won’t forget who made you believe in yourself.

Made you feel like you’ll figure it out.
Made you feel seen.

Here are 7 types of leaders people remember for life:

1/ The one who challenged you to grow, even when it was uncomfortable.

2/ The one who showed up consistently, even on hard days.

3/ The one who celebrated your wins like their own.

4/ The one who believed in you before you believed in yourself.

5/ The one who never needed to be the smartest person in the room.

6/ The one who led with kindness, not fear.

7/ The one who saw potential where others saw limitations.

Leadership isn’t a title.
It’s a trace.

And one day you’ll realize:

Your leadership isn’t what you say.
It’s who people become after working with you.

It’s how they speak after working with you.

The standards they keep.
The confidence they carry into the next room.

Which type of leader shaped you the most and why?

This isn’t taught in business schools, but it should be 👇

Kindness is a KPI most leaders ignore.

Because it reduces tension, strengthens trust,
and makes teams more productive.

In most companies, tension doesn’t come from hard tasks.

It comes from small daily interactions:

↳ ego in conversations
↳ wins that go unnoticed
↳ silence instead of inclusion
↳ promises that don’t get kept
↳ feedback that feels like a fight

That’s why, to build an environment where people actually want to work,
I rely on a simple kindness framework.

Here’s what KINDNESS looks like in action:

K — Kick the ego 
Humility builds trust.

I — Inclusion 
Invite varied viewpoints.

N — Nurture 
Make check-ins routine

D — Decency 
Keep your promises.

N — Notice 
Celebrate small wins too.

E — Empathy 
Check in and truly listen.

S — Support 
Be open to conversation.

S — Soft strength 
Set respectful boundaries.

And here’s the part that changes culture the fastest:

Kindness isn’t limited to your team.
It should work 360°:

→ Kindness to yourself
Notice and log small wins. Make time to rest and recharge.

→ Kindness to your teammates
Ask: “How can I help?” Step in when they’re swamped.

→ Kindness to your manager
Always say thank you for help. Show support when it’s tough.

→ Kindness to your subordinates
Praise publicly, coach privately. Listen without interrupting.

Kindness isn’t a “nice tone.” 
It’s a productivity driver.

People don’t need perfect leaders.

They need leaders who create a safe, clear, and human environment.

If you could improve one daily interaction at work, what would it be?

The leadership formula that actually works:

IQ + EQ + SQ = A Great Leader

The strongest leaders I know don’t develop just one type of intelligence.
They grow in three dimensions at once:

→ how they think → how they feel → how they build connection with people.

Here are 3 types of intelligence every strong leader needs:

1/ IQ

• Limit multitasking
• Set learning goals weekly
• Plan your day with priorities
• Analyze data before deciding
• Write to clarify your thoughts
• Reflect on mistakes and lessons
• Read daily (especially non-fiction)
• Take online courses or certifications
• Review and improve processes monthly

IQ helps leaders think clearly.
It helps them see situations clearly, make better decisions, and keep growing.

2/ EQ

• Pause before reacting
• Give regular appreciation
• Ask open-ended questions
• Notice body language cues
• Learn to apologize sincerely
• Celebrate small wins together
• Set clear emotional boundaries
• Journal your emotional triggers
• Check in with your emotions daily

EQ helps leaders lead themselves first before leading others.
Because self-awareness creates emotional stability,
and emotional stability builds trust.

3/ SQ

• Handle conflict calmly
• Remember names and stories
• Build trust by being consistent
• Be present in every conversation
• Adjust your communication style
• Collaborate instead of competing
• Attend networking events regularly
• Genuinely care about how others are doing
• Focus on real relationships, not just contacts

SQ is what turns leadership into real human connection.
It helps people feel seen, respected, and safe around you.

And that is often the reason why people want to follow your lead.
The best leaders do not rely on just one strength.

↳ They keep learning.
↳ They build real relationships.
↳ They learn to manage their inner state.

That is what makes leadership effective.

And that is what makes it sustainable.

Which intelligence do you want to strengthen most right now: IQ, EQ, or SQ?

90% of managers ignore the power of introverts.

Translation:
They miss the best ideas and the most consistent execution.

Introverts do not need to get louder to deliver results.
They need the right environment.

Because most workplace cultures reward visibility, 
not value.

↳ The loudest voice gets remembered. 
↳ The fastest reply gets counted as contribution. 
↳ The person who talks the most looks “engaged.”

And quiet people learn one thing fast. 
To perform, they first have to fight the culture.

That is wasted talent.

A simple formula for consistent introvert performance:

1/ Basic needs: 
quiet focus time and space to recharge solo 

2/ Safety: 
clear expectations, steady routines, predictable check ins 

3/ Belonging: 
small group connection and easy ways to contribute 

4/ Esteem: 
recognition in a comfortable format and time to prepare ideas 

5/ Self-actualization: 
autonomy, meaningful work, and expertise-driven growth.

When those conditions exist, 
introverts become a team superpower:

→ they raise quality through care
→ they catch small mistakes early
→ they reliably finish what they start
→ they reduce tension without drama
→ they listen deeply and hold context
→ they show up with prepared solutions

The question is not “How do we make them talk more?”

The question is “How do we make it easier for them to contribute?”

A few leadership moves that change everything:

• Reward outcomes, not volume.
• Send the agenda before the meeting.
• Ask for input after the call, not only during it.
• Create smaller discussion spaces, not only big rooms.
• Share updates in a message and document decisions in writing.

Because motivation for introverts is not loud words.
It is autonomy, clarity, and space for deep work.

Quiet people do not need to become louder.

They need the right conditions to do their best work.

What is one change your team could make to help introverts thrive?
