The P.A.T.H. of Least Regret

It's 4:47 on a Friday. The phone buzzes. "Quick decision before Monday." You make the call in ninety seconds flat — and by Sunday night, you can't stop thinking about it.
In this episode of Mindful Leadership: Transforming Lives with Singh, we sit with that quiet, undertow feeling every leader knows — the decision that wasn't wrong on the merits, but somehow still haunts you. Singh's claim is bracing: the decisions that keep you up at night are almost never the ones you got wrong. They're the ones you sprinted through when the moment called for a walk.
The fix is a framework called P.A.T.H. — and a promise that doubles as the tagline: "Stay on the P.A.T.H. to mindful, ethical decisions." Pause for clarity. Address the bias. Tie to values. Harness the insights. Four letters, four small pauses, a walking pace you can hold even when the building feels like it's on fire.
You'll meet three leaders living the exact same fork in three different worlds: Aisha, a CEO who hadn't made a single decision she got to think about in six months; Tomás, an engineer one unexamined assumption away from losing his best person; and Anika, an operations leader haunted not by a wrong choice, but by a right one she never named out loud. Their stories reveal the difference between reactive speed — the cost of being competent — and reflective speed, the source of being trusted.
This isn't a lecture on slowing down. It's a three-minute, one-notecard discipline you can run on the next real decision sitting on your desk: a hire, a budget call, a hard conversation. Singh even walks you through it live, then names the one step most leaders quietly skip — and why it's the very one that decides whether your Monday self respects your Friday self.
If you've ever owned a decision in the dark and felt the weight of it two months later, this episode hands you the light switch.
Take the Purpose Factor Assessment to get clear on what your real values are, where they show up under pressure, and where they quietly vanish when the phone rings on Friday at 4:47.
Tune in now — and learn how to make decisions you can still stand behind on Monday.
