Redefining Change: From the Hallways to the Boardroom with Karunesh Prasad
Tue Nov 04 2025
This episode rejects “change as a project” and shows how to engineer adoption—across teams, transformations, and the boardroom. Here’s what you’ll take away:
Co-Creation Beats BroadcastMove from “tell & sell” to “involve & iterate.” Bring the doers into the room early, test a small version in the open, and launch with their fingerprints on it. Credit contributors by name to make ownership visible.
Boardroom Upgrade: From Doing to QuestioningBring three sharp questions, not thirty pages. Name the risks first, then let the executive team own the actions. Specify the next decision point and the proof you expect.
Shift Identity: From Operator to OrchestratorBoard impact is not hands-on execution; it is shaping direction without control. Stop proving you can do; frame the issue, surface the decisive question, and set the decision gate.
Finally, use AI to compress the math, not the conversations that create consent and trust. Listen in to turn motion into momentum—by design, not accident.
About the Speaker: Karunesh PrasadTransition advisor, change architect, and serial entrepreneur building ecosystems for how leaders enable change—most recently through Board Match-Up and flex executive pathways.
About the Host: Dolon MitraExecutive Coach and Transition Specialist. She helps leaders navigate high-stakes transitions with purpose and presence—and hosts Moments That Inspire, where sharp strategy meets real human stories.
