Festival #Celebrations and #PersonalWellbeing 🕉️✨ Festivals bring joy, togetherness, and a sense of renewal. The Ganesh Festival, in particular, holds valuable lessons that go #beyondcelebrations, touching aspects of our well-being. Here are a few key takeaways: 🛠️ #PreparationMatters Just as we thoughtfully prepare for Ganesh’s arrival, taking small, consistent steps in our daily lives helps us stay grounded and balanced. 🌸 #EmbraceImperfections Decorations may not be perfect, but the love and effort behind them make them special. Similarly, life isn't always smooth, and that’s perfectly okay. 🏞️ #LettingGo Visarjan reminds us to release what no longer serves us—whether it's thoughts, habits, or emotions. A fresh start always awaits. 🤝 The Power of #Togetherness Coming together during festivals strengthens bonds and brings joy. Likewise, staying connected with loved ones can uplift us in ways we may not always realize. 🌱 #NewBeginnings Every festival marks a new chapter. It’s a gentle reminder that we can renew our energy and perspective any time we choose. Let’s use this festive season as a moment to reflect, rejuvenate, and nurture our well-being. 🙏✨ #GrowthHub #FestivalsAndGrowth #GaneshFestival #ReflectionAndRenewal #PersonalWellbeing

This poem ' Desiderata,' by Max Ehrmann is full of optimism, hope and courage for anyone dealing with uncertainty and doubt in life. I have a copy of it in my work space and reading it gives me strength. Desiderata... Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture the strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. by Max Ehrmann

Just wrapped up an epic session last evening with two of the sharpest HR minds I know — Ramesh Soundararajan and Somnath Baishya— where we dove into their book, Thriving on Talent. We brought the real talk on HR, leadership, and everything that’s broken (and fixable) in talent management. Here’s a sneak peek of what we unpacked during the session: ⚡ Why cookie-cutter HR strategies FAIL in the Indian context—and what actually works. ⚡ The capability framework that’ll transform how you think about growth and change. ⚡ How to ditch policy-driven HR and build #humanfirst, experience-driven cultures. ⚡ The secret to balancing #purpose, #profitability, and #people strategies. Their stories, frameworks, and practical advice will make you rethink how HR and leadership should truly function in today’s evolving workscape. Missed the live session? Don’t worry, watch it here: https://lnkd.in/gAYfDM_D Trust me, whether you're in HR, a business leader, or someone who’s passionate about shaping the future of work, this session is a must-watch.

I see many discussions on ROI of training however I feel that there is something called Return on Not Acting (RONA) & Return on Not Investing ( RONI). Pertaining to "learning" RONA & RONI might be intangible but certainly very destructive in this changed world we live in. #learning #learningofkaps

Navigating Workplace Harassment: Awareness and Carefulness for Female Employees Sexual harassment in the workplace is a troubling issue that affects countless women around the world, including in Indian corporates. While legal frameworks like the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH Act) exist to protect employees, it is crucial for female employees to be aware of their rights and to take proactive steps to protect themselves. This blog aims to raise awareness and provide guidance on how female employees can navigate and safeguard themselves in the workplace. Real-Life Scenario: A Case Study Meet Asha, a senior software developer at a leading IT firm in Pune. Asha had worked at the company for four years and was known for her dedication and professionalism. However, her situation changed drastically when the company owner, Mr. Kapoor, began making inappropriate comments and advances. The harassment escalated to physical molestation, with Mr. Kapoor touching Asha inappropriately. Asha felt trapped, fearing retaliation and doubting whether her complaint would be taken seriously without hard evidence. Awareness: Know Your Rights You can familiarize yourself with the POSH Act: The POSH Act requires that you form an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) in companies with more than 10 employees. This committee is responsible for addressing complaints of sexual harassment. Understand the provisions of the POSH Act, your rights under the law, and the procedures for reporting harassment. Know the Reporting Channels: Identify the designated points of contact for reporting harassment within your organization. This could be a member of the ICC, the HR department, or an external helpline. Carefulness: Proactive Steps for Safety Seek Support from Colleagues: Confide in trusted colleagues or friends within the workplace. Having a support system can provide emotional strength and corroborate your experiences if needed. Set Boundaries: Be clear and assertive in setting personal boundaries. If someone’s behaviour makes you uncomfortable, communicate your discomfort directly and firmly. Avoid Isolated Situations: As much as possible, avoid being alone with individuals who make you uncomfortable, especially in isolated settings like after-hours meetings or social gatherings outside of work. Educate Yourself and Others: Participate in training sessions on workplace harassment and encourage your peers to do the same. Knowledge empowers you to recognize and respond to inappropriate behaviour effectively. Together, we can build workplaces where respect and safety are paramount. If you have faced a similar situation or have insights on how to handle it, please share your experiences. #WorkplaceSafety #SexualHarassment #Empowerment #POSHAct #WorkplaceCulture #Accountability #Support Let's create safer workplaces, one step at a time. 🌟

In the journey of leadership, amidst the myriad qualities, there is one which stands out- 'the ability to ignite and nurture an inspiring vision.' 1. Most times this shapes the course of history, brings positive reforms and transforms aspirations into reality. 2. I feel- this also distinguishes extraordinary leaders from the rest. Who comes to our mind when we speak of such leaders? Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, Mother Theresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Barak Obama, Steve Jobs, Malaya Yousafzai, Martin Luther king, Abdul Kalam Azad, Kiran Bedi, Elon Musk, Oprah Winfrey... this list may be endless but the quality is one- an Inspiring vision!! 3. Leaders who go down in history are not those who use their authority/ power for personal gains or drive a biased perspective. 4. They are the ones who give us hope of a better inclusive #futuristic progressive tomorrow and encourage us to dream our biggest dreams. 5. They have the ability to transcend the present, guide positive action, and rally people towards a collective purpose. This very inspiration is what we refer to as 'finding purpose and meaning in everyday work.' 6. Finally... 'Inspiration' has the ability to transform a dull everyday to a daylight of fulfilment, joy and excitement. "None ever accomplished anything by virtue of a perspective, without the power of a collective voice." Hence, let me know your thoughts so we can build on this... #Leadership #Futuristic #Inspiration

Can Facilitation only be used in “Training”? A couple weeks ago, I was in Bangalore for a workshop, catching up with an old client over coffee. We were talking about the way forward, and some dire circumstances that demand attention. The usual stuff. Along the way, they mentioned about how the teams were struggling keeping up with too many (rather unproductive) meetings in a day. “If we keep attending meetings all day then when do we do the actual work?” “Too many meetings that could have just otherwise been an email fill our calendars up” “Everyone talks, nobody listens. After 3 hours of discussion we still have no consensus and no resolution. Then we have the next meeting for the same topic again.” “Any and every meeting has an agenda. But that’s quickly forgotten in the first 30 minutes, and the rest is just off-topic discussion” These were some statements thrown into the mix, while addressing their challenge to be more productive as a team. Don’t get me wrong, this is a very passionate team who loves their job and is attached to the greater good. “How about we try and facilitate one of your team huddles? Let’s see how that works out.” I quipped. The client was supportive enough to take the suggestion; and post-lunch we broke into a team huddle. I scribed my way through the meeting, encouraged metaphors into discussion, and each person had a designated time to speak. Questions were structured and specific, and the team was split into smaller groups that worked on 2 topics parallelly. All in all, the client was overjoyed to know that what would have otherwise blocked 4 working hours of their day; only took 1 instead. That too, with concrete CTA, next steps, and designated individuals who would lead the project. The scribing also saved them extra time and efforts to prepare a report and MOM. Have you ever tried to facilitate a meeting? Let’s get going! Ps- no pictures were taken due to obvious confidentiality reasons. #facilitation #learninganddevelopment #facilitraining #hr #humanresources #productiveoutcomes

Thank you Jombay and the super host Rex Fernandes for having me as a panelist today morning. I had the honor of being alongside Chinmaya Mohanty, Shirin Salis, and Sushil Baveja, where we explored the theme of “Collaborative Mindset in the Context of Synergistic Thinking and Systems Thinking” for young HR professionals. It was an enriching conversation, and I’m thrilled to share some key takeaways that resonated with the audience: 1️⃣ Great Ideas Don’t Have to Be Yours: True collaboration starts with humility—recognizing that the best ideas can (and often do) come from others. 2️⃣ From Concept to Execution: While strategy and planning are crucial, real impact is only achieved through disciplined execution. This cannot be done alone. 3️⃣ Business Acumen is Non-Negotiable: To be an effective HR leader, understanding the business and its financials is essential. This is how HR earns a seat at the table. 4️⃣ Collaboration Can Be Simple: Sometimes, it’s as straightforward as picking up the phone, having an honest conversation, and aligning efforts. The energy, questions, and enthusiasm from the audience were a testament to the importance of cultivating collaboration in the HR profession. Thank you to my co-panelists for sharing such powerful insights and to the organizers for creating a platform for these vital discussions. Let’s continue building bridges and embracing the power of synergy to drive impactful change in our organizations. 💡 What does collaboration mean to you? I’d love to hear your thoughts!  #HRLeadership #CollaborativeMindset #SynergisticThinking #SystemsThinking #ProfessionalGrowth

Training and Facilitation !! Two absolute different terms but often used interchangeably in the Learning and Development space. While there are a few overlaps, there are certain distinctions between them too. In this video I have tried to explain what are some differences between Training & Facilitation.

Title: Unveiling the Enigma of Ambiverts: Embracing the Balance Within 🌟 Introduction: Welcome, fellow explorers of the human psyche! Today, we embark on a journey to unravel the fascinating realm of ambiverts - the enigmatic souls who dance between the realms of extroversion and introversion. Step 1: Defining Ambiverts Let's start by defining what exactly an ambivert is. Ambiverts are individuals who exhibit both extroverted and introverted traits, depending on the situation. They possess the unique ability to adapt their social behavior to the context they find themselves in. Step 2: Understanding the Spectrum Ambiversion exists on a spectrum, with some individuals leaning more towards extroversion, others towards introversion, and some perfectly balanced in the middle. This spectrum allows for a diverse range of personalities within the ambivert category. Step 3: Recognizing Ambivert Traits To identify an ambivert, one must observe their behavior across various scenarios. Ambiverts may thrive in social settings, displaying outgoing and charismatic qualities, yet also cherish moments of solitude and introspection. Step 4: Embracing Versatility One of the most remarkable qualities of ambiverts is their versatility. They possess the adaptability to navigate different social environments with ease, whether it be leading a group discussion or enjoying quiet contemplation. Step 5: The Power of Empathy Empathy is a hallmark trait of ambiverts. Their ability to empathize with others enables them to connect deeply on an emotional level, making them excellent listeners and companions. Step 6: Cultivating Self-Awareness For ambiverts, self-awareness is key. By understanding their own needs and preferences, ambiverts can effectively manage their energy levels and strike a healthy balance between social interaction and solitude. Step 7: Embracing the Journey In a world that often glorifies extroversion or introversion, ambiverts may sometimes feel misunderstood. However, embracing their unique disposition and recognizing the value they bring to diverse social dynamics is essential for personal growth and fulfillment. Conclusion: In conclusion, ambiverts are the embodiment of balance and versatility in the human experience. By embracing their innate qualities and navigating the world with authenticity and self-awareness, ambiverts enrich their lives and the lives of those around them. So here's to celebrating the beauty of ambiversion - a testament to the complexity and diversity of the human spirit! 🎉
