About

I'm known as 'The Unlearn Guy.' Not because I teach new skills — but because I help people see the invisible scripts running their lives. We all inherit conditioning. Rules about who to be. What to want. How success should look. We follow the script. Build the life. Earn the respect. And then one day we realize: this doesn't feel like ours. That gap — between who we've become and who we actually are — is where I work. By day, I'm the Global Head of People Development at Atos. I design learning ecosystems for 65,000+ employees navigating the age of AI: → Leading digital transformation of our global learning framework → Driving AI-fluency programs targeting 100% coverage → Building leadership programs with 95% satisfaction rates → Honored as "Future Learning Leader" 2024 But here's what that work taught me: The biggest barrier to growth isn't skills. It's conditioning. The stories we inherited about success. The patterns we run on autopilot. The permission we're still waiting for someone else to give. That insight led me to build "Unlearn With Prasanna." I now help people see what's been running their choices — so they can finally stop performing and start choosing. Not career advice. Not motivation. Clarity. Through the S.P.A.C.E. Framework (Stories, Patterns, Agency, Choice, Expression), thousands of people have found language for what they've been feeling but couldn't name. "Prasanna helped me see I wasn't stuck because something was wrong with me. I was stuck because I was living by someone else's rules." — Senior Director, Tech Industry Whether I'm building the future of learning at Atos or helping an individual see their conditioning clearly, my mission is the same: Turn on the light. Let the snakes become ropes. What I'm focused on now: → Building a future-ready workforce at Atos → Helping successful people stop drifting and start choosing → Proving that clarity — not more advice — is what changes lives Let's connect if you're interested in: ► Unlearning the scripts that keep you stuck ► The future of corporate L&D ► What it actually takes to change Your life is full. But is there room for you in it? 👉 Find out in 3 minutes:https://conditioningscore.unlearnwithprasanna.com/
