RHP#170. Hugh Wahla, Ex-CEO Conran Shop and Life Purpose Coach

Hugh Wahla has certainly lived an extraordinary life.

He has experienced atrocities you would not wish on your worst enemy.

Losing his Mom in a tragic accident and being sent to Pakistan to live as a 6 years old, taught him harsh realities and early life lessons. 

It also forged a belief system that helped him navigate life’s challenges and allowed him to excel in his career.

While serving as CEO for a Globally recognised brand, he was introduced to the concept of ‘Productive Working Life’ which played a role in deciding his next steps.

Many lessons in this conversation!
