In Good Faith

I’ve known Rehan Khan for over 30 years and he was one of my very earliest teachers and mentors. He is now a thought-leader, professor, novelist and an advocate for virtue-based storytelling and leadership.
His work has spanned consulting for major global corporations, teaching post-graduate courses at one of the world’s leading business schools about AI, the future of work and leadership, as well as delivering training courses on focus and productivity, drawing on his business book, Distracting Ourselves to Death.
Uniquely, Rehan is also a multi-series novelist. His books include the Carnegie nominated A Tudor Turk series set in the 16th century, as well as the standalone A Tomb of Empires set in 90BC, and more recently the fantasy sci-fi epic series Tales of Khayaal.

I sat down with Naz Shah, Member of Parliament for Bradford West, on 5th March 2026 - the day her shocking and powerful autobiography was released.
Entitled “Honoured: Survival, Strength and My Path to Politics”, it’s a truly remarkable story that focuses on Naz’s immensely difficult childhood - one marred by poverty, violence, forced marriage and a lack of formal education - and her subsequent journey as a campaigner and politician, which all began with an arduous journey to pursue justice for her imprisoned mother who had experienced extreme levels of abuse over many years.
We can all learn lessons from Naz’s resilience, her inspiring faith and love for God, as well as her unflinching commitment to public service.
