In this powerful and heartfelt episode of The Lunchtime Series, I sit down with Gayatri Krishnamurthyโan executive coach, leadership transformer, and quiet force behind hundreds of thriving leaders. With over 2,000 coaching hours and 300+ senior transitions under her belt, Gayatri offers wisdom forged through decades of real-world leadership impact.
We dive deep into themes of authenticity, burnout, cultural intelligence, reiki healing, boundaries, the myth of the superwoman, and why trustโnot controlโis the currency of the future. This conversation is a gentle disruption for any leader wanting to rise with clarity, courage, and compassion.
