Even when you think you have no choice. And if you are unable to make a decision, you are choosing to stay in a state of indecision. The only question is - are your choices taking you where you want to go? I am Sumit Gupta, and this is \"Choosing Leadership\" - a podcast for high performers with big dreams - who know deep inside that there is more. This is a podcast for people who know they are more powerful than the level they are currently playing. I have spent a long time feeling powerless, and that is why I see where you are powerful even when you cannot. I dare to say what most people would not. I dare to speak to the \"tremendous power\" which you already have rather than what you believe are your strengths and limitations. This podcast is called \"choosing leadership\" - because that is what leadership is - a choice. The choice to step into the unknown. The choice to see fear as a friend. The choice to take courageous action rather than waiting for readiness. Join Sumit in exploring this question when it comes to your leadership.

I believe we all have a lot to learn from each other's stories - of where we started, where we are now, and our successes and struggles on the way. With this series of interviews, my attempt is to give leaders an opportunity to share their stories and for all of us to learn from their generous sharing. If you know a leader whom you would like to see celebrated on the show, please send me a message on LinkedIn with their name. In this episode, Sumit Gupta sits down with David Lapin to explore what it really takes to lead with depth, purpose, and humanity in a world that’s moving faster than ever. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to “keep up” while craving more meaning in your work, this conversation will hit home. David brings a rare blend of ancient wisdom and modern leadership insight, showing how real influence comes from presence, inner clarity, and authentic connection. Together, they unpack why so many leaders feel lonely, how to build environments where people feel safe to speak truthfully, and why slowing down might actually accelerate your growth. If you’re ready to lead with more courage, more soul, and more impact — this episode is your new compass. You can find David Lapin at the links below https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidlapin/ https://lapininternational.com/ In the interview, David shares \"Leadership is the ability to inspire people to think, act, or feel differently without ever forcing them.\" \"Technology can spread information fast, but only human connection can transmit energy and trust.\" \"Every person carries a spark of greatness — leadership is helping them uncover it.\" \"We're more digitally connected than ever, yet lonelier than we've ever been. Leaders must bridge that gap.\"…","meta_description":"This is the Leadership Journey series on the Choosing Leadership Podcast.
