• From "dumb student" to global leader, overcoming labels, office politics & communication mastery with Amit Khanna

  "When we are born, we look like our parents. When we die, we look like our choices."That quote framed one of the most powerful conversations we’ve had on Baskets of Knowledge, with our guest, Amit Khanna.Amit’s life hasn’t been a straight line. It’s a story of resilience, loss, and rebirth.Once labeled the “dumb student”, Amit carried that identity through his childhood and early teens. He believed it. because the world around him reinforced it. Comparison crushed his confidence.But one defining moment changed everything. After being publicly dismissed by a professor, Amit made a choice, not to fight with fists, but to fight with effort. He studied with intensity, passed an exam most failed, and realised: “I’m not dumb. I’ve just never directed my effort in the right way.”That single moment sparked a lifetime of growth.Since then, Amit has:- Lived and worked across seven countries.- Transitioned from physics and IT into leadership and communication.- Built a career helping corporate leaders navigate office politics, manage upwards and downwards, and communicate with impact.But behind the achievements is a man who faced profound loss. Losing his father at 15, his mother later to illness, and carrying financial struggles that forced him into work as a teenager, Amit learned that at every crossroad, you only have two choices:1. Give up.2. Continue.He chose to continue. And more importantly, he chose to live fully, to not just exist, but to create impact. Key Learnings from Amit’s journey:Labels don’t define you, your choices do. Comparison can be dangerous. but it can also drive you. Communication is the ultimate career advantage. Authenticity creates trust. The middle matters. This too shall pass. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt underestimated, labelled, or stuck in the middle.It’s for anyone who wants to rise above office politics, sharpen their communication, and lead with authenticity.It’s for you. if you’re ready to remember that your current situation is never your final situation.Social Media Links & Thank You gift from Amit Khanna:CCC SKOOL Free CommunityYouTube ChannelLinkedInMediumInstagramWebsiteAmit Khanna’s TED TalkCorporate Circus BookAs a gift to all out listeners you get a Free download of Amits Best selling book - Corporate Circus for all the listenersCorporate Circus Free E-BookEnjoy Prajesh and Tane

• Front of the Pack Leadership with Vicki Tyler

  On the latest episode of Baskets of Knowledge, we sat down with Vicki Tyler, a powerhouse in leadership, coaching, and human development , to unpack her incredible journey of resilience, self-discovery, and growth.Vicki’s story is deeply human. She spoke about her early years, the challenges of navigating identity and belonging, and how those experiences shaped her drive to create spaces where people feel seen and valued. What stood out most was her belief that leadership is not about authority, but about the ability to listen, and become a catalyst to empower and guide others to step into their full potential.One of the most powerful insights Vicki shared was about the "edge" where growth opportunities lie. She named her company The Grow Zone which represents that uncomfortable space where "what" happens meets "our response"  to it, as that is where growth occurs. While most of us shy away from the edge because it feels risky, Vicki reminds us that it’s exactly where transformation begins.Beyond her personal journey, Vicki is a strong advocate for women in leadership,  helping women step into their voices, back themselves, and break through barriers in environments where confidence can so often be tested. Her work highlights that when women rise, entire communities benefit. Her current "195 Campaign" asks the same question to a woman in leadership, in every country in the world. With perspectives learned, she will use the findings to benefit young women in leadership around the globe.In our conversation, she opened up about:Why authenticity is the foundation of leadership – when you show up as yourself, you give others permission to do the same.The importance of resilience – not as bouncing back, but as adapting and moving forward with new strength.Her passion for stepping intentionally into "grow zones" – the very places that challenge us most.The ongoing work of balancing ambition with self-compassion.This episode is packed with wisdom, inspiration, and practical insights for anyone on a journey of growth, whether you’re leading a team, a business, or yourself.Tune in to the full conversation with Vicki Tyler on Baskets of Knowledge, now live on Spotify and YouTube.EnjoyPrajesh and Tane
