In this week's episode of the (Un)usual Dialogues series on the (Un)usual Stories podcast, I have the pleasure of sitting down with Shashi, a dynamic friend whom I met while in Kuwait. Shashi has had a fascinating career journey, working with prominent Big Four firms like KPMG, EY, and Deloitte, and his experiences span across India and Kuwait.

Shashi offers deep insights into the unique aspects of living and working in diverse cultural environments. He shares his firsthand experiences of the distinct work cultures in India and Kuwait, discussing how cultural differences impact business operations and professional relationships. His stories provide a window into the nuanced ways that global businesses operate and the importance of cultural adaptability in the corporate world.

Moreover, we delve into Shashi's career development within the consultancy sphere, exploring how he has navigated his path through strategic moves and continuous learning. Shashi emphasizes the power of self-education, advocating for reading books over more passive forms of learning, like watching reels or incessantly scrolling through news feeds. He shares how proactive learning and personal development have been crucial to his success.

This episode is not just about career growth; it's an enlightening discussion on the broader impacts of cultural diversity, the strategic development of a consultancy career, and the profound benefits of lifelong learning and self-education. Tune in to "Un)usual Stories" to hear Shashi's inspiring story and gather actionable insights on how to navigate your own professional journey with intention and adaptability.

Whether you’re currently working in a multinational environment, aspiring to join the consultancy world, or simply interested in the benefits of a more educated, book-based approach to personal development, this episode offers valuable lessons and motivational stories that are sure to inspire.
