“I realised that there is a power in sharing which helps form this ability to build connections with others.”
Through National Young Leaders Fellowship (NYLF), Arshul’s journey shows how leadership is shaped through lived experiences, reflections and growth.
Starting out in a student-run volunteering group, Hope Givers, where he worked with Mummy Yummy, Arshul was deeply affected by the realities faced by isolated elderly residents. As he stepped into leadership, he initially struggled with being overly rigid, which created a distance between him and his team. Over time, he chose to lead with greater openness and vulnerability - rebuilding trust, strengthening connection and inspiring others to do the same.
