Transform. Uplift. Think. -A Podcast by Mannsi Agrawal

Is shameless asking for help, a bad thing?

No!

Like any living organism, a team too, needs external energies to survive.

In the case of Imagine Nepal, we were a team of 8, but needed a host of mental and physical supporters.

Any leader would need to turn to outsiders, non-core team members, at times, in order to delegate, brainstorm or even get help.

I realized that there is no shame or embarrassment in calling up family, close friends, or even sort-of-friends and asking if they can help.

And, the support I received was unbelievable.

How I balanced these various people in my life, for all those months and how their invaluable contributions meant so much to me, are all enlisted here.

Ethics, Professionalism or Skills? 

What is most important? 

I was working with a lot of unknown people for Imagine Nepal. 

As expected, it was not easy. 

It was uncomfortable. 

And, this experience taught me what I cherish the most in others. 

What do you cherish?

"I hate the people I am working with!"

Have you ever felt this way?

If so, please understand that working with the right people and managing teams is one of the most important things that leaders need to do, on a daily basis.

I wanted to experiment with leadership, so, as I embarked on the journey of Imagine Nepal, I learnt and documented many things about Leadership.

I have shared them all in this video here.

Do let me know know what you think.

Sometimes., I feel weak.   

Scared.   Alone.   

When this gets out of hand, I recommend getting professional help, but, just to ease the way I deal with these feelings, I have come up with a practical list of things to do.   

Sharing them all here, hopefully, to ease your day, in these times.   

Do try them out, and let me know how it goes.

A few months ago, in a Panel Discussion, I had the opportunity to ask a couple of very accomplished authors about what they thought was the MOST important skill for professionals in the world today.   

The unanimous answer?   

“Delayed gratification.”  

I was shocked.   

I knew painfully little about this topic, and was eager to find out more.  

Here is my understanding of something that I agree, is one of the most vital abilities to develop and grow.   

Do watch, and let me know, if you too, delay your gratification often!

Self-Discovery isn’t easy, but it’s vital.   

In fact, if you aren’t adequately aware of yourself, any kind of success becomes meaningless.   

So, people think of all sorts of different things to discover themselves; travel, meditate, paint, write.   

All of these are wonderful methods, but my favorite is talking to myself, and asking myself difficult questions.   

Yet, I realized that when I ask myself abstract questions, I come up with abstract answers.   

So, I came up with a list of very specific, unusual questions that can give one in roads into their own mind, unlike any other!

I WANT TO BE CONFIDENT!  

I WANT TO BE CONFIDENT!!   

I WANT TO BE CONFIDENT!!!   

I hear this a million times a month.   

So, I HAD to make an episode on my take on this topic.   

Do listen, to understand the secret behind this simple, yet, not completely understood word.

What 3 things are common to Malvika Subba, Anil Shah, Mahabir  Pun, Raj Khetan, Rajesh Hamal, Bandhana Rana, Anuradha Koirala, Ani Choying Drolma, Dr. Bhagwan Koirala, Himalaya SJB Rana, Dr. Asha Singh?   

1. I have interviewed them all for, ‘If I Had Not Failed.’  

2. Their words were all super inspiring.  

3. Who they are, behind the camera, is even more inspiring, than who they are in front of it.  

I learned immensely from my interactions with them.   And today, I am presenting a short episode of the things I picked up along the way.
