Join your host Malay Damania in this exciting and insightful episode with guest Piyush Bhatia who is the founder of B.M English Speaking Institute.

Piyush shares his journey of how he got an innovative idea of starting his own coaching business when he checked a Wikipedia page in 2003 where he realized only 1% of the India population knows how to speak correct English.

He made teaching English his passion and started with a goal of teaching 1 crore Indians. 18 years later he has taught 7.2 crore working professionals, students and home makers and helped them elevate their lives.

Key Takeaways

• It is essential to understand that English and communication are two different things. English is merely a language but communication is how you use that language to express yourself.
• Communication includes your voice tone, eye contact, presentation skills, articulation and decoration of language.
• There are many leaders who don’t know how to speak in English but are excellent communicators. 
• Learning the right voice modulation with effective communication can help you close more business deals.

“The only differentiator between your dreams and you are your actions.” - Malay Damania

Most people just wait for the right time to begin anything. Are you also someone who waits for the right time to hit the gym, start a guitar class, learn investing or start your business?

If you answered yes to even one of those questions, then this episode is for you. In this episode, your host Malay Damania talks about why most of us cannot break the inertia and begin.

Key Takeaways

• If you wait for the right time, you will be waiting forever as there is nothing like the right time.
• Waiting is an excuse you give because of your own doubts, fear, anxiety or lack of resources. And that turns into procrastination but remember the key to break the pattern is to start.
• Don’t overwhelm yourself with a lot of things. Understand the big picture and keep your goals in mind but start small. See what you can do today.
• Remember small actions build momentum which turns into a flow and ultimately shows results in the future.
• You might not be 100% perfect but taking action will help you to understand your skill gaps and give you a scope to improve. Just planning or thinking won’t give you that luxury.
• 
  

Listen to the entire episode to understand why waiting for the “right” time isn’t a good idea.

“The best way to ensure productive results is by organizing structured meetings with your team; these are of great value both to the leader and the team members.” -Malay Damania

The question of why our team isn\'t achieving the results we expect might have puzzled you for some time. Perhaps you thought that if you had a great team and talented people around you, you would delegate work and they would deliver the results you expected.

We assume that our employees have understood the task well and will follow the instructions. But in most cases, this does not happen. In order for this to happen, you need to put in place a step-by-step system and processes. And then you need to regularly monitor the progress of the work.

In this episode, the podcast host Malay Damania discusses how structured meetings can make delegation effective and increase your team’s productivity. 

He shares golden tips on following types of structured meetings:

1. Team Review Meetings
2. Leadership Team Meetings
3. Partners Meetings or Director\'s meetings
