Notes on Blue Energy Podcast;

The purpose of the Blue Energy Podcast is to bring several conversations around optimism in various lanes of business, thought leadership, service excellence, transformation and, in general, any topic that adds value to our community. One essential aspect of all contributors of BLUE ENERGY PODCAST is that they all have a purpose in life; as a result of this, every day, they do whatever it takes to put others interests ahead of them and serve.

Blue Energy refers to living a joyful life.

As far as I recall, I am someone who always lived with optimism., From the days when I failed in school exams to achieving Best All Round Student from Secondary Education to reaching where I am today, everything I have experienced has taught me a powerful lesson. There is nothing better than living a life of "optimism". Being positive does not mean we do not come across negative thoughts. Like every human being, I do encounter the same. It's just how I respond to such thoughts that make a huge difference. 

Several years ago, I learned the power of optimism in a different language as BLUE ENERGY. It simply means seeing the world better, being an encourager, giver, and being the change you want to see in others. BLUE ENERGY means your life will be better if you positively. We focus on what we get; at the same time, the energy we live by the message that we give to others. Life is short; We must strive to live every day with an optimistic view of the world.

As a part of this Podcast, I will be bringing thought leaders, authors, HR Professionals, Industry experts, their views on various issues and how optimism can help us solve many problems among us.
