So fortunate to have such a supportive community, and such wonderful people who show up and make it real!

"For Indian readers, Blasphear is filled with such moments of déjà vu. Familiar equations (discrimination against Muslims through political and social othering, public lynchings, and ghettoization) are turned upside down, the minority switches religions, and a universal truth is proven yet again. The fundamentals of fundamentalism remain the same." My review of Sohail Ahmed's Blasphear in The Chakkar. https://lnkd.in/gGTMEshv

https://lnkd.in/d-kcaT9J Read my latest book review posted on the Purple Pencil Project website. Here I reviewed the newly released book At Home in Two Worlds by Maria Aurora Couto. Published posthumously, it is one of the most articulate pieces of literature I've read in a while. And I'm so grateful that I got this book generously sent by Speaking Tigerbooks

This but for all languages not just English. Invest in working with professionals before you expand marketing communication efforts into non-English languages. Don't use automatic tools (just yet). They miss cultural nuances completely. If you want help with languages from India, we are here!

When was the last time you sat down to read a book or listened to a story? 📖 Imagine if I told you that just six minutes of reading could reduce your stress by 68%. Reading and storytelling can also improve decision-making by up to 100%. If you're a manager or executive, this should catch your attention! At Purple Pencil Project, we know that storytelling can make a real difference in the workplace. By introducing a culture of reading and storytelling, you can help your team communicate better, empathise more, and think creatively. Our workshops and reading clubs bring teams together in meaningful ways, creating a sense of connection and shared purpose. When employees feel more connected, they bring their best selves to work. They feel more motivated, engaged, and are more likely to come up with creative solutions. Whether it's through reading clubs, storytelling sessions, or creative writing workshops, we’re here to help your team grow and thrive. Interested? Let’s chat and explore how we can help bring this to your workplace. 💜 Get in touch at [email protected] #CorporateWorkshops #PurplePencilProject #ProfessionalServices #Storytelling #BookClubs #WritingWorkshops

Success in new markets isn’t just about entering them - it’s about making real connections with the people there. Localisation is key, because it helps your brand’s message truly speak to your audience. 👉 Take Netflix as an example. By tailoring content to reflect regional tastes, either in the form of curations or by having audio and subtitles in multiple regional languages, they’ve become a favourite not just in the West but in countries like India. This local approach has been a big part of their global success. 💜 We believe localisation is more than just translation. It’s about adapting your content so it feels relevant and engaging to local cultures. We’re here to help you make that happen. ✨ Why Localisation Matters? Localisation is about understanding and respecting the culture you’re entering. 👉 Amazon’s success in Japan, for instance, came from offering local payment options and Japanese language support. This wasn’t just about meeting needs, it was about building trust. When you localise, you create stronger connections with your customers, leading to loyalty and better engagement. *** ✏ Our Localisation Services ✏ 1.
