Sucheta’s Leadership Learning Journey
Posted on 3rd March 2026
Good morning,
My name is Sucheta Jindal, and I have been working as a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at ULTH since 2017. Completing the Level 7 Leadership course this year with Corndel and CMI has been a genuinely transformative experience for me.
I still clearly remember the day I enrolled in November 2024. It truly felt like a light-bulb moment — as if something shifted instantly within me. A new perspective opened up, not only about leadership, but about myself. From that day on, that spark continued to grow brighter and stronger.
Balancing the course alongside a demanding clinical and personal responsibilities was not easy. There were long days, late evenings, and moments of self-doubt. But interestingly, the learning never felt like a burden. It was stimulating. It was refreshing. It gave me energy. It gave me space to think differently. In many ways, it rejuvenated me.
As doctors, we never stop learning. Growth is part of who we are. But this programme gave structure to that growth. It gave me practical leadership tools, greater self-awareness, and most importantly, confidence. Completing this course has been one of the best decisions I have made, not just professionally, but personally.
I want to acknowledge the people who made this possible.
Clare Frank’s mentoring came at a time when I needed encouragement the most. Her positivity, guidance and genuine dedication have had a profound impact on my development. Her belief in me helped me push through challenges and ultimately achieve a distinction.
Thank you to Chris Chantry for supporting my enrolment into the programme, and to Claire Low for creating and championing this opportunity at ULTH, particularly for women aspiring to leadership. Initiatives like this truly make a difference.
Steady support of my coach at Corndel and her constructive feedback strengthened my work.
When I was preparing for my final assessment, I went back to read my assignments. It reminded me why I started this journey, not just to gain a qualification, but to grow into a leader who can contribute meaningfully and make a positive difference.
Those assignments were not just academic submissions; they were reflections of my authentic self. My values. My beliefs. My aspirations. It was a proud and affirming moment.
This journey has given me more than a qualification. It has given me clarity. It has given me confidence. And it has reminded me that leadership is not about position, it is about growth, impact, and staying true to who you are.
Thank you.
