An author and global speaker, I am committed to breaking the silence around abuse and I am an advocate for vulnerability and authenticity in leadership.

Friends, I need your help.

When I was 6, a boy named Roy White saved my life in a fire. Nearly 60 years later, I’m still searching for him—or someone who knows his family.

This week the Chicago Sun-Times published my letter and the original photo from that day.

Worlds Apart launched in India this week. So proud of my co-author, Devi.

Available exclusively on https://t.co/Kgo6cFY394

[OmBooksInternational @ombooksdelhi]

Worlds Apart, co-authored by Ed Cohen and Devi Boddu, found a grand display at the World HRD Congress in Mumbai today.

We at Om Books International are proud to be associated with the literary success of this inspiring author duo. Rooted in themes of courage, belief, connection, and education, Worlds Apart resonated deeply at a global platform dedicated to leadership and human development.

In keeping with the spirit of the book, Ed Cohen is donating his royalties from Worlds Apart to help educate more girls across India—extending the story’s message of belief and opportunity beyond the page and into real lives. It is this rare alignment of narrative and purpose that makes the book particularly meaningful.

Worlds Apart is now available online across all major platforms.

@sayesekhar @netflix @NetflixIndia @BillClinton @ncbn Nice article. It misstates my role. I was Chief Learning Officer at Satyam, not VP of Talent Acquisition. My work was in leadership & culture, not recruiting.

Out after a long wait of five years trapped in the courts… #Satyam #RamalingaRaju #netflix Netflix @suchetadalal @kaalisudheer @HariThalapalli

A dark moment for India and for our family.

@suchetadalal Hello Sucheta, I saw the episode about Raju. I will be in India releasing my new book about reciprical mentoring called Worlds Apart in Feb (https://t.co/CsmQ73TSy3). Would be great to meet.

[The Ed Cohen @TheEdCohen]

I’m returning to India in February to deliver opening keynote at HRD World Congress in Mumbai—& to launch Worlds Apart: A True Story of Courage, Connection, & Change with Devi Boddu. A story of reciprocal mentoring, growth, and what happens when two worlds meet. #leadership

The day after the fire, I woke wrapped in gauze, smelling of smoke and medicine. My mother sat silent-father didn’t come.

At six, all I knew was that everything hurt. #Healing isn’t forgetting—it’s learning to walk without letting the burn define you.

#Resilience #Vulnerability

[The Ed Cohen @TheEdCohen]

💚 World Mental Health Day 💚

Healing begins when we let ourselves be seen, when we tell the truth about what hurts, and when we listen — really listen. 👂

We’re all carrying something. The difference comes when we carry it together. 🤲

Roy graduated from Proviso West High School in the late 1960's just outide of Chicago. When I last was in touch, in 1984, he was married and still living in the Chicago area. He is in his early to mid 70's now.
