Have we forgotten how to disagree without shutting each other out? In this episode of What Not To Do, host Shrutika speaks with Peter G. de Krassel, author, businessman and commentator, about Palestine, cancel culture, social media echo chambers, and the growing difficulty of having uncomfortable conversations. Drawing on his experiences and his book, Custom Maid for New World Disorder, Peter challenges us to question our assumptions, look beyond familiar narratives, and listen to perspectives we may not agree with. Because listening does not mean agreeing. And disagreement should not end the conversation.

When Disagreement Becomes Dangerous:Palestine, Cancel Culture & Death of Dialogue|Peter G.de Krassel
What if the person who tells you “I’m fine” is actually struggling in silence? In this deeply personal episode of What Not To Do, Jason Reid, founder of Tell My Story and Mental Wellness Media, shares how the loss of his 14-year-old son, Ryan, changed his understanding of mental health, connection and the conversations we often fail to have. The conversation goes beyond mental health awareness. It asks a much harder question: What do we get wrong when someone we love is struggling? He also explores some of the subtle mistakes we make when trying to help: • Assuming “I am fine” means everything is fine • Trying to solve someone’s pain in one conversation • Telling people their feelings are wrong • Giving advice they did not ask for • Pushing someone to talk before they are ready • Invading the spaces where they feel safe • Trying to change their perspective instead of understanding it • Forgetting that sometimes the most important thing we can do is simply stay Watch the full conversation with Jason Reid and discover what not to do when someone is silently struggling.

Behind “I’m Fine”: The Conversations We Need to Have | Jason Reid on What Not To Do
What if the biggest thing holding your transformation back isn't the technology, the strategy, or the budget? What if it's the way you're leading the change? As your business grows, the way you lead has to evolve too. The decisions that worked when the organization was smaller may not work when you're managing more teams, stakeholders, technology, and competing priorities. In this episode of What Not To Do: A Leadership Conversation, IMPAAKT Magazine's Editor in Chief Shrutika Khedekar sits down with Solange Jacob, Vice President, Google Cloud at a Leading Google Partner and Prosci-Certified Change Practitioner, to unpack the leadership mistakes that can quietly slow transformation and business progress. From stakeholder alignment and change fatigue to organizational readiness and the role of middle management, Solange challenges leaders to look beyond the transformation plan and ask a harder question: Are you actually bringing your organization with you? It's a conversation about what not to do when you're asking an organization to change, grow, and perform differently. If you're leading a growing business, a major transformation, or your next phase of organizational change, this is one conversation you may want your leadership team to hear. About Solange Jacob Solange Jacob is Vice President, Google Cloud at a Leading Google Partner, with 15+ years of experience across cloud technology and enterprise transformation. She is also a Prosci-Certified Change Practitioner, bringing a human-centered approach to organizational change.
