Redefining Success: Faris Aranki on Emotional Intelligence, Focus & Leading with Impact
What does real success look like in a world full of noise, pressure, and performance-driven expectations?
In this episode, I sit down with Faris Aranki, founder of Shiageto Consulting and creator of the success equation:
Success = IQ × EQ × FQ. Drawing from his journey from classroom teacher to global strategy consultant, Faris shares how emotional intelligence, focus, and self-awareness are the true differentiators of modern leadership.
Together we explore:
- Why EQ and FQ (Focus Quotient) are just as important as IQ
- How to prioritize effectively in a noisy world
- Leadership habits that actually work — especially for young professionals
- Why redefining success is essential for personal growth and team impact
- The role of curiosity, listening, and feedback in unlocking potential
This conversation is part of our monthly theme: Courage & Clarity in Life Shifts — and it’s a must-listen if you’re an aspiring leader, early-career professional, or someone navigating your next chapter with purpose.
🌟 This episode is filled with mindset-shifting insights, practical tools, and encouragement to lead with both courage and clarity.
