Kishore Kumar Thakur believes that conversations can change everything — if we’re willing to listen long enough. A leadership coach, facilitator, and storyteller, Kishore has spent years helping leaders and teams rediscover the lost art of reflection — the pause between doing and being, the space where clarity lives. His work draws deeply from philosophy, psychology, and lived experience — weaving together stillness, awareness, and action into the language of modern leadership. Through his writings, workshops, and dialogues, he invites people to slow down, to listen not just to others, but to the quiet voice within. The Stone and the Pond is more than a book to him. It is a mirror — a reminder that every word we speak, every silence we hold, and every act of attention we offer creates ripples that touch lives we may never see.
