“Success is often measured by what we gain, but true impact is measured by what we give back
In the part 2 recap of The Invisibles Project podcast, I want to share how you can set yourself up for a high-impact year in 2026 . Meaningful Impact is not about doing more, but becoming more intentional about the ‘why’ behind the work you do.
In Episode 6, Dr. Ravindran Kanesvaran explores how leaders can scale their influence by shifting from individual to collective impact through empathy, humility, and purpose-driven innovation. Ravi emphasizes prioritizing others over self, leveraging technology for societal good, and focusing on consistent effort rather than obsessing over outcomes.

In Episode 8, Malvika Vyas emphasizes that genuine impact stems from forging a unique identity and prioritizing purposeful, often overlooked work over the pursuit of public recognition. Malvika suggests that true fulfillment occurs when we use our authentic skills and status as a responsibility to address unmet societal needs rather than as a personal reward.

Meaningful impact comes from shifting our mindset from seeking recognition to serving a Purpose. Whether it is through the quiet behind the scenes, ‘invisible work’ or the courage to bring our whole selves to our careers, lasting impact is built on empathy, authenticity, and the responsibility to drive positive change.
As the year draws to a close, it is the perfect time to Reflect on how we Lead and the Legacy we want to leave behind.
