building the world

I want to live in

third culture kid

I’m passionate about the third space bicultural, hybrid identities like myself ​occupy. My experiences as a second-generation Canadian born in Surrey to ​parents who were born in Panjab is what inspires my work.

the

world

At the heart of the world that I am building is ​belonging. My longing for belonging is what drives ​the world that I am building.


I am an executive leader, podcast host, writer, and ​executive coach, but more than anything, I am ​Harpo, a proud kid from Surrey who wants ​desperately to belong.


What I’ve learned so far is that if you don’t belong ​to yourself, you cannot belong to anyone or ​anything. And quite often, when we begin to ​belong to ourselves, our desire and need to belong ​to something external immediately falls away.
