How One YES to Leadership Transformed 7,000 Students in India | Prabraharan’s ’s Story

Every once in a while, a single moment reshapes the way we see leadership. For Prabraharan’s , CEO of Keren Group of Schools in Madurai, South India, that moment came when he reluctantly attended a Global Leadership Summit (GLS)session — and walked away changed forever.

Today, his story is a reminder of something every leader eventually learns: true transformation begins with one person who decides to grow

Leadership Begins with Openness

Prabraharan’s  didn’t set out to attend GLS expecting change. In fact, he almost didn’t go. But like many leaders who step into unfamiliar spaces, he discovered that leadership growth rarely happens in our comfort zone.

That first Summit experience introduced him to ideas that reshaped not only how he led his institution but how he lived his life.

It’s a challenge for all of us — to ask:

• When was the last time we allowed ourselves to be stretched?
• Have we stopped learning because we’re too familiar with what we already know?

GLS exists for precisely this reason — to awaken the leader within every person, in every sector, and at every stage of influence.

From Personal Growth to Organizational Impact

The beauty of leadership development is its ripple effect. When a leader grows, others follow.

After experiencing the Summit, Prabraharan’s  brought the content back to his 350 teachers — integrating the lessons into the culture of Keren Group of Schools, which educates more than 7,000 students.

The result? Not just inspired educators, but tangible improvement in teaching, performance, and teamwork. It wasn’t just another professional training; it became a movement within the school — a shift toward excellence rooted in purpose.

This story highlights an important truth: leadership development is not an expense — it’s an investment with exponential return.

Leadership That Multiplies

From one leader’s willingness to try something new, an entire community began to grow. That’s the power of the Global Leadership Summit — it multiplies influence.

For Prabraharan’s , the lessons extended beyond the classroom. His family, too, experienced the ripple effect of leadership done God’s way — leadership that uplifts, empowers, and strengthens others.

When leadership becomes personal, it transforms not only organizations, but lives. 

Reflect: Your Leadership Ripple

As you watch this story, take a moment to reflect:

• How has the Global Leadership Summit impacted your thinking and leadership?
• What could happen if you shared what you learned with your team or community?
• Where might God be calling you to multiply the growth He’s begun in you?

Because leadership growth is never meant to stop with you — it’s meant to flow through you.
