Regenerating Humanity with Chaya Mistry - Walk Talk Listen (Episode 171)

Chaya Mistry, the founder of Humanly, a leadership and communication consultancy who describes herself as a "human whisperer," reflects on her upbringing in a multicultural family in the UK, shaped by her Indian heritage, and how this foundation inspired her mission to regenerate human connections. With a background in psychology and corporate communications, Chaya shares her journey of founding Humanly, a consultancy that emphasizes emotional intelligence, leadership coaching, and creating spaces where people can connect authentically, both in work and life. She highlights the transformative power of compassion and deep listening as acts of kindness with the potential to create profound ripple effects.

 

Central to the conversation is Chaya’s framework for transformational leadership, built around the Four Cs: Compassion, Curiosity, Courage, and Creativity. She and Maurice delve into the importance of inner work in leadership, exploring how these qualities align with the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) and their complement to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Chaya emphasizes the need for leaders to cultivate self-awareness and self-care as tools for fostering deeper connections and driving meaningful change. Drawing from her work, she illustrates how authentic leadership can inspire both personal growth and social transformation, creating a foundation for collaborative action in addressing global challenges.
