Kul Mahay has over 3 decades experience in the leadership space. He works with organisations and leaders to develop powerful cultures of high value, and performance which is built all around their people.

In this episode, Kul Mahay challenges the traditional concept of work-life balance, arguing that it’s an outdated myth that often increases stress rather than alleviating it. Instead, he explores the idea of work-life integration—an approach that embraces flexibility, autonomy, and well-being in a way that suits individual needs. Kul shares insights on how leaders can create cultures that support sustainable success without enforcing unrealistic boundaries.

In this episode, Kul Mahay explores the "empathy dilemma"—can leaders care too much? While empathy is a leadership superpower, excessive emotional involvement can lead to burnout, decision paralysis, and even team resentment. Kul discusses the balance between compassion and boundaries, the difference between emotional and cognitive empathy, and how leaders can support their teams without sacrificing themselves.
