Live Zoom Session
Maybe this feels familiar...
The deal that would move faster if you bent a little
The pressure to grow in ways that do not quite sit right with what you believe
The quiet worry that staying true to your values might be the thing keeping you smaller than you could be
The weight of building something real while trying not to lose yourself in the process
You have built with niyyah. The question is how to keep building without setting it aside.
What You Will Walk Away With
Language for the tension you have carried but never quite named
A clearer view of why growth and values were never really opposites
A first sense of what it takes to scale without losing the parts of yourself that matter most
A first look at what is actually driving the tension: the beliefs, the patterns, and the pressure responses you have never been taught to see
A CONVERSATION WITH SALMAN SUBAKAT
Salman Subakat is the co-founder of ParagonCorp, the company behind the biggest halal make up and personal care brand in Indonesia. A business built to real scale, without treating its values as something to set aside on the way up.
In this intimate live session, Cassandra sits down with him for an honest conversation on growth, leadership, and the inner steadiness beneath lasting success. Kept deliberately small, so the room stays real and every person in it can take part.
Founders and entrepreneurs will feel most at home here, though any professional carrying the same question is welcome.

Nadira Lee
Cassandra Nadira Lee is a Chinese Singaporean revert Muslim and a Human Development Expert who has coached leaders across the Asia-Pacific for over a decade.
She built LIFT because she lived the gap herself, working in rooms where her faith, values, and way of carrying herself were not always understood. Her work helps leaders grow how they show up, communicate, and decide, without separating their ambition from their amanah and niyyah. She works alongside the leaders she coaches, not just ahead of them.
