Part 2: Resilience Across Career Stages with Rahul Chandran and Dr. Joanne Liu

Hosts Matthew and Mohini continue their engaging discussion with Rahul Chandran, Chief Strategy and Partnership Officer at Grand Challenges Canada, and Dr. Joanne Liu, former International President of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), exploring deeper insights into resilient and values-driven leadership in global humanitarian work.

Rahul shares his perspectives on mobilizing intrinsic motivation within organizations, especially during crises, highlighting the necessity of embedding core values and culture well before adversity strikes. Joanne emphasizes the crucial role of humility and vulnerability in leadership, reinforcing that being humble doesn't equate to weakness but rather indicates strength, empathy, and openness.

Joanne also introduces her new book, "Ebola, Bombs, and Migrants," which critically examines global responses driven by fear and security concerns, advocating instead for solidarity and common humanity. Rahul contributes thoughts on storytelling versus story-selling, stressing the importance of authenticity and genuine narrative in leadership and organizational culture.

Both leaders provide practical advice for emerging leaders facing career transitions, emphasizing courage in decision-making, acceptance of imperfection, pacing oneself for the "ultramarathon" of life, and finding moments of personal nourishment amidst challenging environments.

The episode concludes with powerful messages on how young Canadians can contribute meaningfully to global health and humanitarian causes, urging them to leverage their privilege to advocate for justice, equity, and solidarity.
