BEYOND THE TURNING POINT

business, careers, history · EN

Beyond the Turning Point is a podcast about leadership, identity, change and choice - and the human experience behind the decisions that shape our lives. We often hear about turning points that changed a life, a career, an organization or even history. But we rarely ask what happens to the person who had to make the choice - and how the decision changed the person who made it. I'm Akjemal Magtymova. I've spent much of my professional life working in global health and international leadership, often in complex environments. I, too, had to make difficult choices - choices guided by a clear compass of shared human values. In conversations with leaders and professionals who have faced consequential choices, I explore what happens behind and beyond the turning point: the uncertainty before a decision, the responsibility of making it, the price it carries and who ultimately bears that price - and how our choices reshape not only our circumstances,
