The Lives Of Professional Shapeshifters

Shapeshifters don’t just exist in folklore and fiction. They’re all around us in the world of work.

These are people who adapt with exceptional agility, excelling at multiple careers, or breaking new ground with their entrepreneurial intelligence. We find out how they do it, and why their habits are relevant for a future of work that will see big disruptions from climate change, AI, and uncertain markets.

Meet Paroma Roy Chowdhury, Chief Communications and Public Affairs Officer at Dream11—an e-sports start-up currently valued at $5 billion. Paroma has previously held leadership positions at Google, Airtel, SoftBank, Hewlett Packard and GE. Also meet Mac Prichard, Founder, Mac’s List. Mac is a career coach and a full-time podcaster who has previously worked with governors and state departments in Oregon (US). He holds a degree in public administration from the Harvard Kennedy School.

This is Season 5 of Habits Matter. We’re going behind the scenes of common work problems and asking questions like: how do you present effectively? Get that job? Or decode feedback?

This episode was hosted remotely by Harappa Founder & CEO, Shreyasi Singh.
