Sapna Gopalakrishnan is Legal Counsel for one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. She got her dream job in early March 2019 and then everything changed as she almost lost her life and doctors gave her a 0-5% chance of survival. Through a freak incident in 2019 in Mumbai, Sapna contracted Sepsis which is the body’s extreme response to an infection. It is a life-threatening medical emergency and happens when an infection you already have triggers a chain reaction throughout your body. In a short space of time she was in full septic shock. a coma for three weeks, 7-8 transfusions, suspected brain damage, gangrene, organ failure which all resulted in her having to have multiple amputations from both feet and both hands. What is extraordinary are the recollections Sapna has of out of body experiences with recollections of activities on other rooms that have been corroborated by her friends and family and also her incredible spiritual resilience with a hint of comedy, sci-fi and music! What is clear from this extraordinary account is the power of people and community. Friends, family and a global organisation that lived up to it's purpose of impact and being a force for good, all combining to help Sapna through the experience and back to living her life to the full.  As we haver this conversation in the foyer of the Intercontinental Hotel in Singapore, Sapna continues to be grateful very single day as she accepts that something happened to her but it will never define her.  An inspirational episode and another sample of the power of Human Centred Leadership. Insta: amputee_curly
