This Podcast is created and curated by Deepak Jayaraman (an Executive Coach and a Leadership Advisor). He lives in Mumbai and works with successful Senior Executives by helping them play to their unique potential but with a sharp focus on transitions (business or career). Just like businesses need to think about "where to play" and "how to win", leaders need to be coherent about "where to go" and "how to grow" in their journeys. Deepak works with them during pivotal moments to help them with these two questions. To know more click here (https://playtopotential.com/aboutdeepak) .

EP8 Connecting the Dots: Judgment - Making sound decisions amidst complexity
This episode of Connecting the Dots deals with Judgment - Making sound decisions amidst complexity. VUCA - (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) is a term that is used to describe the state of the world. Some people use BANI - (Brittle, Anxious, Non-Linear, Incomprehensible). Whatever the terminology, it is fair to say that the world has gotten more grey, nebulous and harder to predict. Sound judgment, today, is arguably more relevant than ever. Tune in as we peel the layers on this nuanced topic.

EP7 Connecting the Dots - Staying resilient through quakes
This episode of Connecting the Dots deals with STAYING RESILIENT THROUGH QUAKES. We explore what it takes to be resilient as an individual and go on to examine what it takes to create a resilient culture in an organization. Very often, even the notion of resilience is misunderstood. We examine the nuances in what the term means. Is it “bouncing back” to something or using the quake as an opportunity to shape-shift to something else. In the fragile and brittle worlds we live in, being resilient is turning out to be a super-power. Tune into this episode to learn and grow!

EP6: Connecting the Dots - Building Habits that stick
This episode of Connecting the Dots deals with Building Habits that stick. This is that time of the year when your new year resolutions meet the rough and tumble of your life. Having a process that ensures that you work towards your outcomes is critical. As James Clear says, we don’t rise to the level of our goals. We fall to the level of our systems. We shine the light on how we can all build habits that stick.

EP5: Connecting the Dots - Breathing Life into Work
This episode of Connecting the Dots deals with BREATHING LIFE INTO WORK. A lot of us, consciously or sub-consciously end up putting work on our pedestal and relegate the other elements of life to a distant second. In this episode, I share some of my learnings (from the 102+ episodes and from my lived experiences) around how focusing on Health, Personal Relationships, Social Impact work and Guitaring have helped me get better at my work!

EP4: Connecting the Dots - Identity
This episode of Connecting the Dots deals with IDENTITY. When we look at issues around transitions, reinventing ourselves and navigating the pulls and pressures of mid-life, the key often is in reflecting on our identity. This episode, we go deep into how we think about Identity and how sometimes, we end up caging ourselves and end up being a prisoner of our own lack of imagination around our identity.

Customer Reviews
Poignant, Powerful & Prescriptive
Poignant, Powerful & Prescriptive insights that have the power to not only transform your career but also your life at large.
I was at a juncture, after a productive career of 27 years, where I had lost sight of “where to go and how to grow” as Deepak puts it. Over the last six plus months, “Play to Potential” has played an instrumental role in helping me understand myself better and position myself for the next stage of my professional journey.
I couldn’t recommend “Play To Potential” enough to anyone and everyone who is looking to become better at being themselves.
Insightful
I enjoyed the episode with venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi.
One of the best podcasts ….
Play to potential continues to provide top notch content shared by impactful speakers and leaders. The content, the nuggets and the strategies as discussed provide directional guidance to interesting leadership problems and creative solutions. Looking forward to more episodes ….
