This episode is a continuation of the previous episode on questions raised by listeners of this podcast. However, what makes this episode very special is that the whole episode is dedicated to just one question! I felt that the question asked was of such significance that it needed an in-depth analysis of the issue. 

"What is the root cause?", "What might be your specific variation of this problem?" and "How can you break through this problem and achieve success?" are some of the things I address in this episode. 

If you have ever struggled with taking timely action, this one's for you!!

This is a very special episode - the first (of many, hopefully!) Q&A on this platform! 

I have taken up some of the questions raised by people in my connection list. I believe these questions would resonate with many of the listeners of this podcast. Whether it be retaining positivity in an increasingly challenging world or getting better at rejection handling, we all at some point in our lives need these skills to navigate life successfully, don't we?

So listen in, and hopefully, some of the tips offered in this episode help you in your own lives.

If you have any questions you'd like answered, please send them through to me (via email or through my website) and I'll be more than happy to answer them in future Q&A episodes.

FAILURE - does that word scare you? I know it used to scare me one helluva lot!! 

I hated failing as a school kid, so I chose not to try out anything that I wasn't 100% sure of succeeding in. The result? I became cocooned and stayed stuck in a tiny little comfort zone. The sad part was that I never tried to figure out why I was scared of failure. I mean, failure didn't have a physical form that looked terrifying. 

If you are nervous about failure, have you wondered why that is so? Have you looked under the covers to find the root cause so you can address it?

This episode is all about changing your mindset towards failure so that you can start to change your life. After all, it all begins with the thought process, doesn't it? #thinkbelieveachieve 

So dive in!

Featuring my friend and fellow coach Vicki McCauley from Arizona, USA as a guest. Our conversation is centered on the ways to overcome life's challenges. The past two years have been historic in terms of the challenges posed to over 7 billion people across the globe. Each individual might have had their own struggles to contend with, but the fact is that hardly anyone has got through unscathed.

1. You are not alone.

2. You are more resilient than you think.

In a life where we face untold tragedies and stresses that are often outside our control, how can we at least avoid letting small things affect us and hold us down?

What if we could develop internal fortitude that helps us tackle worries like a pro?

In this episode, I talk about the "intellectual immune system" existing within each one of us that can counter any positive change that we might try to make. 

In this episode, I talk about the hottest trend in the labor market over the past six months - people quitting their jobs.

The Great Resignation (as it is known in the U.S.) is a phenomenon that sees millions of people leaving their jobs every month. Not all of them leave because they've got better jobs lined up. A large percentage of those quitting are so sick of their jobs that, one fine day, they just QUIT! No other job to go to, and yet, they walk out the door with a sense of relief! 

What could be the reasons that are driving people to take such risks, opting for uncertainty over a lousy but certain career?

This episode is about dreams, possibilities, and success. Do you believe that you can achieve anything if you set your mind to it? Are you a person who believes in the power of dreams or are you more oriented towards reality?

Sharing some of my thoughts with you on this subject and inviting you to share yours by messaging/commenting. I believe that success cannot have a one-size-fits-all model as we're all unique in our own ways. There are however certain elements of success that are universal. 

Listen in to find out my 3P formula for success!

Enough of the F word, let's move on to the G-word! :)

The ability to be grateful for what you have has a massive impact on your happiness. 

In this episode, I talk about:

- the importance of gratitude, 

- things that each and every one of us can be grateful for right now, 

- a small gratitude meditation that I invite you to do with me, 

- scientific benefits of gratitude

- ways to build gratitude

Develop gratitude and experience a new perspective on your life!

What baggage are you lugging around in the mind from your past and your future? How is it impacting your present?

Our lives are filled with interactions involving all kinds of people. Negative people might be unwelcome guests but sometimes having them in our lives is unavoidable. How do we deal with them successfully and not let them drag us down?

In this episode, we look at some of the negative traits to watch out for, talk about the most important question to ask ourselves when we encounter negative people, and discuss tips for dealing with people that we can't just wish out of our lives.

Hope this episode gives you the dose of positivity needed to neutralize the negativity that some people might inject into your life!
