This week, Ken and Russell sit down with Pradeepa Narayanaswamy — Leadership Coach, TEDx Speaker, Author, and self-described diamond miner for leaders.

Pradeepa’s journey is anything but ordinary. From being one of only 12 women selected out of 55,000 applicants to join tech giant Infosys in India, to becoming known as a “team whisperer” who could shift energy and unlock hidden potential, she’s built a career around helping leaders discover the brilliance within themselves.

Today, as the founder of Pradeepa Leadership Coaching, she works with executives, first-time leaders, and teams around the world to uncover authentic leadership that goes far beyond frameworks. Her philosophy? The diamonds are already inside you — we just need to mine them.

In this conversation, you’ll hear about:

How Pradeepa shifted from tech to transformational leadership work
The lessons behind her latest book Practical Leadership – Simplifying Complexity
Her experiences of navigating difficult workplace conversations

If you’re ready for unapologetic honesty, deep leadership insights, and a perspective that blends intellect with soul, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
