In this inspiring episode of Connect with Confidence, Kerrie chats with Kevin Humphreys; former Black Hawk pilot, mental health advocate, and founder of Cor Infinitus.

Kevin shares his journey from combat missions to confronting shame and suicidal thoughts, and how he turned that pain into purpose by creating memorials that give dignity to families and hope to those at risk.

We explore:

• The link between pride, shame, and resilience
• Why self-compassion and understanding others is vital for leadership
• The power of connection. One question, one conversation can save a life

Note from K. Suwetha and Varsini. RA Mind-Opening Interaction with Kerrie Phipps | DR G.R. DAMODARAN SCHOOL OF COMMERCE AND INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS*We, the students of 2 MIB B, had the honour of participating in an empowering Masterclass session with the internationally acclaimed speaker, coach, and author – Ms. Kerrie Phipps. Her energy was magnetic and her words, truly eye-opening. The session sparked deep thoughts on how to talk to strangers, how to create real human connections, and how simple conversations can change lives.The following day, we had the opportunity to sit down with Kerrie ma’am for a personal interview in the SCIB Conference Hall. Every answer she gave struck a chord-filled with insight, passion, and a message that stays with us: connection begins with courage.

This interview also provided us with enriching content and ideas for our upcoming edition of Glimpse Magazine, capturing not only words but wisdom.

Highlights from the Interview

• Step-Up Moments – Saying yes to unexpected opportunities, even when self-doubt creeps in.
• Courageous Communication – Speaking up when it matters most, and why it lifts others.
• The Power of Listening – A Berlin encounter with a refugee that reshaped perspectives on empathy.
• Daily Practices for Self-Awareness – The grounding power of deep breathing and journaling.
• Kindness in Leadership – Why compassion fuels clarity, innovation, and problem-solving.
• Curiosity Over Judgment – Staying open and inquisitive, even through resistance or burnout.
• A Kindness Economy – The global shift toward valuing empathy, heritage, and human connection.

• 
  

💡 This conversation is a reminder that leadership begins with self-awareness, courageous choices, and the belief that kindness truly changes everything.
