It is OKAY to be NOT OKAY
WordPress
June 23, 2021
Oftentimes we overlook the fact that #happiness is an inside job.
In our third episode of our three part Podcast series, Vidya Banjan and I discuss just that.
Here’s where we talk about having the right people in our circle, how negativity affects the mind, how we can create a positive outlook and what lessons await us in life.
This is where we stress upon having meaningful #connections who one can fall back on in times of need.
As the saying goes – Sometimes all it takes is a cup of coffee with a good friend.
The episode touches upon topics where we encourage people to talk it out, share and know that they are loved.
I like the way Vidya told me once, “It is perfectly ok to be NOT okay”.
It made a lot of sense then. It makes a lot more sense now.
Stay tuned to know more about ways of increasing positivity in our lives!
Can’t wait to listen to us talk?

Upwards it is!
WordPress
June 23, 2021
When #life doesn’t seem to go our way, all we can do is #trust the process.
When I thought I hit the rock bottom, I sat with the feeling for a few days.
I understood that it was trying to teach me something. When I looked closely, it was about learning my lessons.
I quickly changed my #mindset and thanked what I had rather than weeping over what I could have had.
That was the magic!
That changed it all.
And the turnaround has been great!

There’s always a way
WordPress
June 23, 2021
Sometimes in life we see fog everywhere.
So thick that there’s almost zero visibility.
This could make us feel frightened, confused, anxious and uncertain to say the least.
The path may even appear as a dead-end.
More often than not, we start doubting ourselves at this point.
However, there is a way. There’s always a way.
The path does become clear.
Often, it is time that clears things up. But then, Time takes a long Time!!
Whereas, when we choose to look inside us and seek answers from within, the fog clears sooner.
Traveling that path is best when we shine our light from within.
That is when your view becomes unobstructed.
‘THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH IT.’

People & Business Transformations
WordPress
June 23, 2021
Most times it is perceived that #businesstransformations are all about #technology.
Well, I would say, #transformation is all about #people!
Technology aides in the process, the end result and also in realisation of benefits.
#Business#change and transformation of any magnitude is possible only when technology and people come together to make it happen.
Changes and #transformations are a journey that involve the much needed work on the #mindset, perceptions, #awareness, understanding and acceptance before people learn to get into the new role and grow.
Technology, mainly #digital in today’s era does play a phenomenal role in making things work.
And yet, I believe it is the people that get into new roles, use new tools, techniques and processes which the technology has enabled so that their life becomes simpler.
Yes, technology does play a very important role in making the change accessible to people globally across domains and verticals so as to take into account the benefits thus realized.
And yet, I believe it is the people – #Leadership, #employees and the end users that actually make it a success.
