What if the doors that feel impossible to open in yourcareer or life weren’t locked at all - you just needed the right keys?
Along his journey from fresh graduate to President of a multi-billion-dollar company, Aditya Sehgal developed and discovered frameworks that helped him lead, grow, and navigate complex challenges. He calls them magic keys because they unlock insight, spark action, and help succeed in career, business, and personal life.
In recent years, Adi has been sharing those frameworks through Fast Frameworks project - helping leaders unlock their own potential and new opportunities.
In this thought-provoking episode of Get Superpowered, we dive into two of Adi’s most transformative frameworks:
The Trust Framework - a simple yet profound equation that reveals how trust is built and strengthened across relationships, cultures, and teams.
The Promotion Flywheel Framework - a system for career growth that reframes promotion from waiting your turn to creating your own momentum by helping others rise with you.
Along this conversation, Adi reminds us that everyone is special in a unique way - and that the real power lies in turning our life experiences into our own frameworks we can refine and reuse.
He encourages us to stay endlessly curious: explore our craft, test new ideas, and keep learning from what works. And above all, to focus on helping others because when we reduce self-interest and lead with service, trust and success multiply.
In the final moments of our conversation, Adi invites us to rethink success - it’s not about climbing faster, but about choosing the right ladder and building momentum through clarity, curiosity, and helping others rise.
Key Takeaways:
- Frameworks are the ‘magic keys’ to unlock insight, spark action and help you succeed in career, business, and personal life.
- You already have your own frameworks - they’re your edge. Recognise them. Refine them. Reuse them.
- Stay endlessly curious. Ideas are everywhere - keep collecting and testing them. Curiosity is how new frameworks are born.
- Trust = (Credibility + Reliability + Intimacy) ÷ Self-Interest. Trust multiplies when self-interest shrinks.
- Promotion is a flywheel, not a queue. Help others rise, and you rise too.
- Climb the right ladder. Direction matters more than speed. Pause, reflect, and ask: Will I like the view when I get to the top of this ladder?
