Lyn R. Lee, former Global Chief DEI Officer at Shell and author of Tiny Rice Grains (Penguin Random House SEA), joins Michelle Martin to explore the future of diversity in a politically divided world.

She discusses how small acts of inclusion ripple into systemic change, and how Asian perspectives can redefine leadership courage and care.

Discover how to move beyond compliance, make psychological safety real, and build workplaces where every “tiny grain” counts.

Hosted by Michelle Martin with guest Jason Saw, Group Head of Investment Banking at CGS International, this episode explores why Southeast Asian deal activity is rebounding after a softer stretch.
