S4 Episode 3: Building Leadership with Sat Parhar

Joining us today is Sat Parhar, Calgary’s former Deputy Chief of Police, here to discuss all things leadership, diversity, and the future of modern youth. Sat describes how leaders are often put on a pedestal, and as a result, can be struck down when sharing their ideas. From growing up in a Sikh immigrant household and how impactful his Mother’s steady leadership was to Sat's growth, to why he whispers “I love you” into his newborn grandson’s ear every day, Sat shares personal experiences that have modeled him into a resilient leader and father. He shares an account early on in his decades-long career with CPS, and how it taught him an invaluable lesson to call something out in the room, rather than leaving it for an office discussion later on. Through open conversations about what is happening in modern policing, Sat helps us understand how we are all change agents, and why that makes each of us important in our ever-changing pluralistic society.
