Episode 8 - The Hardest Work Is the Work You Don’t Put on Your Resume

Published on August 26, 2025

What does it really take to grow as a leader—beyond titles, goals, and performance reviews? In this episode of Leadership Unfiltered: Community Conversations, host Sarah Hempel sits down with Riti Rungta to explore the deeper, often unseen side of leadership growth.

With over 17 years of global experience in HR, coaching, and consulting, Riti brings both heart and strategy to her work with leaders and teams. She helps people grow from the inside out—building clarity, confidence, and presence from a place of deep self-awareness.

Together, Sarah and Riti unpack:

  • Why some of the most important leadership work never makes it on your resume

  • What “inside out growth” looks like in real life

  • Simple, practical ways to begin a personal mastery journey

  • The role of self-compassion for high achievers

  • How to stay open and curious, even in the face of fear

  • A small, powerful step you can take this week toward personal alignment

This conversation is honest, reflective, and full of real-life takeaways you can put into practice right away. Whether you’re leading a team or leading yourself, this episode will help you slow down and look inward—because that’s where the real work begins.
