Think back to the career advice you got growing up. Pick a lane. Stay in it. Climb the ladder. Work your way up. Choose a profession, become really good at it, get promoted, and repeat for 40 years. For a long time, that formula worked. But today the world of work has changed so dramatically that clinging to a single linear path feels less like safety and more like a risk. Welcome to the age of the...]]></description><link>https://www.neythri.co/post/the-portfolio-career</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a6a1e1c328f65b10656ffc4</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 16:01:50 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/30c6a6_05ec4117bdbd4d6fa78898830c5d05ec~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_794,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Archana Vadya</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Art of Presence: Showing Up to Lead]]></title><description><![CDATA[Executive Presence Is Not About Looking the Part. It Is About Leading With Intention. For decades, women have been told that if they work hard enough, results will speak for themselves. Many of us believed it. For South Asian women, especially, this belief runs deep. We were raised to value humility over visibility, preparation over promotion, and excellence over recognition. We learned to keep our heads down, respect authority, avoid taking up too much space, and trust that our work would...]]></description><link>https://www.neythri.co/post/executive-presence-is-not-about-looking-the-part-it-is-about-leading-with-intention</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a56a157aa2c7341eb4bcb58</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 Jul 2026 21:16:37 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/30c6a6_371a0393a9734c889be278a6dff947e2~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_941,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Deepali Paul</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Health Leadership and Professional Presence]]></title><description><![CDATA[The pattern I keep seeing in my practice — and in conversations with peers across the South Asian community — tells me something important about how we are leading. South Asian women are some of the most capable, disciplined, and driven people I know. We are also, as a community, remarkably good at tending to everything and everyone except our own biology. In medicine, I see what that pattern costs. It’s time we talked about it honestly.

Like most apocalypse narratives, it’s powered by a mix of truth, fear, and a shocking shortage of nuance.

Either you found it, or you did not. I admired people who seemed to discover theirs early, as if clarity arrived fully formed and they simply followed it.
