Choices & Chances with Tesa Arcilla
Life is a series of choices, and I believe the quality of the life we live is only as good as the choices we make — big and small. My name is Tesa Arcilla, a former foreign correspondent and news presenter. In 'Choices & Chances', my goal is to explore life's choices, dig into how others have gone about making their decisions, and turn nuggets of wisdom from others' stories, as well as lessons from my own experiences, into ideas you can use.

The Missing Leadership Skill That Changes Everything—And Why He Quit a Secure Job for the Unknown - Ep18
What’s the one leadership skill that impacts trust, decision-making, and influence—yet no one talks about it?
In this episode of Choices & Chances, I sit down with Mark Panayiotis Notaras, a global leader in international development, social entrepreneurship, and leadership strategy, to unpack the concept of Trust Intelligence (TQ)—the missing key to impactful leadership.
We also talk about navigating and understanding high-context cultures, leading with empathy, making bold career moves, as well as deep listening and curiosity in shaping impactful leadership and decision-making.
We discuss:
🔹 How TQ (Trust Intelligence) can transform leadership, business, and relationships.
🔹 The power of deep listening—and why most leaders get it wrong.
🔹 How to break out of echo chambers and truly connect with opposing viewpoints.
🔹 The hard truth about quitting a stable job for an uncertain path—and what it really takes.
🔹 Why Entrepreneurs Should Think Like Community Builders—and how to lead with trust.
If you're on the cusp of deciding between job security or leaping into the unknown... or if you want to be a better leader, communicator, or decision-maker, this episode is a must-listen.
