The Values Workshop

The automatic way creative  ideas come to you is mainly because you get out of the way and become a  nobody. This process of observation is liberating and leads to a lot of  magic in the process. However, it is easier said than done. What a  wonderful end to a practically deep conversation. Hope you enjoy it. Do  write in and share your thoughts.  For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

Accepting loss means learning to deal with the pain  without losing your sense of perspective. It allows you to contextualise  the situation and probably opens up new ways of dealing with what  happens. We go deeper into this 'acceptance' mindset and explore how it  works. Beautifully engaging chat, this. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

In this part we talk about business, about a sense of humility in acknowledging the views other stakeholders bring to communication. Professional stories are shared, varied thought processes of how we learn how things function out there in the world - and the learning it holds for us. An interesting second part which opens up avenues for a completely different type of chat in the ones which follow. Do have a look. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

An advertising, films and event company experience helps us have an  interesting conversation with a guest who talks about how his mindset  helped him keep his learning aptitude alive through the years. He  ponders over thoughts like 'Why are people afraid to admit they don't  know'? A fun, light, breezy start to a chat which becomes deeper in the  parts which follow. Check it out.

While all our chats on death are thought provoking, this one is quite  beautiful in the way it unravels how we relate to life (the living), our  perceptions, the impact it has on us as living beings when we miss  those who we love. Quite a wonderful conversation, this. Makes you  think. Check it out. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

How does one live life afresh every day? Delete all your notions whether  they are given by others or are your own. Let the past go, adopt what  is useful and let go. Wise words indeed by our guest in this incomplete  talk due to internet issues. We shall surely have him again some  time...let us see when that happens. For now, check out the last part.

'Even in the unknown, I do not feel fear, I feel curiosity. Almost like a  child does.' He talks about animals being extremely shy, and questions  the need to fear them. A modern-day sage-like appearance, a beautiful  smile and a chat which makes you wonder if an alternative way to exist  is actually a wonderful idea. Check it out.

We have an extremely unusual guest in this episode. One which lives in  forests by choice, and prefers that life to that of living in the city.  He says he finds the choice to living with his vulnerability makes him  sensitive and in a way, keeps him far from what he calls the 'dead' or  the 'second-hand' life. A wise guest indeed, making several points worth  pondering. Take time out for this and gift yourself some contemplation. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

'Thinking aloud' is the way we do all these podcasts. And this one exemplifies what we are trying. Our guest discusses the relevance of talking about Death, her experiences with losing loved ones, the wisdom she gained from allowing herself to experience it the way she wanted and so much more. An engaging chat, this. For the video, check www.youtube/c/thevaluesworkshop

How does one deal with failure? Work sometimes seems like an  escapism...and our guest delves into different aspects of how she learnt  from this, and also about how she opened herself to different kinds of  feedback post her meditation - and was willing to educate herself about  her plusses and shortcomings. She also talks about the importance of  laughing at one's own self and not taking life too seriously. A great  conversation comes to an end with this part. Do listen in.  For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop
