For years, I lived with self doubt. I was unsure of everything.

My ability to excel.

My aptitude.

Myself.

And then, I remembered this story that I had heard in school. While I'm not sure if I remember the whole story correctly, I do know that I have a more profound understanding of it now, that I did, at school.

In this podcast, I will share this story which will certainly make you feel better about yourself and more confident, no matter who you are and what you do.

Please watch it till the end, as I share my 6 takeaways from this wonderful story.

Today, when I look back, I realise that maybe this accident was the eye-opener that I needed? few important lessons, with regard to Leadership and Life.

When my mother saw the pictures of the damaged car, she was shocked and she thanked God that we were all safe.

I was scared and pained for a while, but later, I realied that this accident had taught me a few important lessons, with regard to Leadership and Life.

Today, when I look back, I realise that maybe this accident was the eye opener that I needed?

A year on, have we learnt anything?

Exactly a year has passed since the dreaded virus intruded into our lives.

So much has happened, so much has changed.

Yet, so much remains the same.

Winston Churchill once said, ‘You must never let a good crisis go to waste.’

My question is, “have we learnt?”

If not, is this virus enough to make us learn?

I'm taking this occasion to share my first post from my YouTube channel, that I wrote a year ago, entitled, 'Is this Virus Enough?', where I seek to question where we, as a species are leading, and if this virus could be our potential catalyst to change.

Is this virus enough?

Love.

The simplest, most basic human emotion.

Yet, isn't it strange how so many of us sometimes get it all wrong?

In this video, I share my opinion on a particular type of Love; my most favourite type. I made the video because most people I know, need to be reminded of this. Do watch, and do share if you can think of people who need to be reminded as well.

We are generally taught that goals should be S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable. Achievable, Realistic and Time Bound).

While I can't stress enough on the fact that we MUST set goals if we want to experience success, I do NOT agree with 2 of the words above.

What are they?

And why are they important?

And how can they change the way we perceive the whole process of working towards our goals?

What does ‘Being a Woman’ mean to you?

Is it about a fight you’ve had to have, each day, for your identity?

A fight to be what you want?

A fight to love who you want?

A fight to fulfill your big and small dreams?

If so,

This is your story.

This is my story.

While this video seems to be about these 12 women, in reality, it is about each one of us, in some way or the other.

In my quest to work towards a more gender just world, I wrote this poem, to start dialogues about certain issues, irrespective of how uncomfortable they may be. If you relate to any of the words in the poem, just comment ‘#justletmebe’ and I will know that we are in this together. Express your solidarity, so we know we aren’t alone.

Also, this poem is my note of gratitude to all those women before me, who did things differently, challenged norms, and fought relentlessly to make this world a better place. Please tag one woman who has inspired you, to let her know that you appreciate her!

Most people want to be successful. However, few have an actual, vivid idea of what success means to them.

Saying you want to be 'Successful' is like going to a restaurant and ordering 'Whatever.' You won't get what you really want and you may even dislike what has been presented in front of you. In this case, it becomes extremely important to understand exactly how we can set ourselves up for success, from the word go, and build on a foundation that puts us on the right path.

Words can Hurt.

Words can Sting.

Words can Crush our Souls.

Words can Wound.

Sometimes, we carry old, old pain in our hearts. Words said years ago continue to haunt and pinch. Yet, we must be able to overcome the sting from those words and move on.

However, this is easier said than done. I was one of those who used to get extremely bothered about others' words. However, a few years ago I heard a story that made it so much easier for me to deal with unkind words.

In this video, I share not just that story, but also my 3 takeaways from it, and the strategy I use, to deal with hurtful words.

Listening is one of the most fundamental parts of Communication. Yet, as a Communication Skills trainer, I am shocked by how little people think of this skill. I have never come across someone who genuinely wants to work on their listening skills!

However, in this video, I share some basic tips that can make you a better listener, and help you greatly with your overall communication.

So, here it is, Communication Series, a series of videos that are meant to give tips on enhancing communication skills.

In this first edition, I talk about 'Appreciate to Motivate'. While most people I know are aware of the importance of appreciation, very few actually know how to implement them.

The tips shared here are as relevant in a board room, as they are in your dining room!
