Conflict and change – they are not occasional disruptions – they are constant companions of leadership. Conflict shows up in team disagreements, clashing priorities, or even quiet tensions, no one voices. Change arrives through reorganizations, market shifts, or the sudden need to adapt to new technologies. Leaders are expected to navigate all this smoothly. Yet many discover that the biggest challenge is not what is happening around them, but how they respond. Coaching doe

In today’s rapidly changing world of work, the role of a leader is transforming. Leadership is no longer about command and control. The future belongs to those who empower, listen, and enable — leaders who coach. When leaders adopt a coaching mindset, they don’t just manage people — they develop them. They cultivate a culture of trust, foster growth, and build genuine accountability. Coaching is no longer optional — it’s fundamental to leading in an age of complexity, change

As AI becomes a more familiar presence in our lives and workspaces,  the coaching community faces a unique opportunity and responsibility to engage with it consciously. To explore this shift, we reached out to a few experienced professionals, including voices from the Regal community, individuals who bring both coaching depth and digital curiosity. We’re grateful to each of them, Madhu Gade , Narayann Swaami and Mani Mohan Sitaraman for taking the time to share how they’re

‘When the student is ready, the teacher manifests.’ Whether you are a sportsperson, corporate leader, business owner, entrepreneur, or professional, the role of a mentor is critical. The mentor in coaching helps the coach maximize potential, personal and professional, to partner with their clients to maximize the clients’ potential.

“VUCA” – Vulnerability Uncertainty Complexity Ambiguity – a concept that has been around since the 1980s, and has been researched, socialized, and embraced over the last several years. The term itself can raise alarm bells and anxiety in some. And yet, understanding and navigating the VUCA world we are in is a critical life skill today. Geo-political changes, social changes, and rapid advancements in technology are but a few factors that contribute to us being in a VUCA world

Reflective, Journaling, the pandemic — Therapeutic & beyond! Infrequent journalers find themselves turning more towards their journals during the pandemic Many others are picking up this new habit of putting the pen to the paper. Some others are picking up  Do you journal?  For its therapeutic value or ‘has been jotting down observations, life hacks, life lessons, and bumper sticker quotes?’ The journey to ‘become a coach’ or to your full potential (being regal) is incomplete

I have observed (even before reading this article) how the entrepreneur is able to deliver customer service, compared to an organization-man! Whether it is property-search to banking to investments to videography, across the board, the SEP (self-employed professional) or an entrepreneur is far more customer-oriented, efficient, less bureaucratic and definitely empathetic. Orgn-man perhaps suffers the maximum in comparison, on the last element, #empathy.  An organization is an

India is celebrating… long weekends! Twice in this month! Long week-end, and a looooong post ☺ August 15th to 18th – Independence Day to Janmashtami (Sri Krishna’s birthday). Gods are smiling on us again. Yet another long weekend, though not ‘as long’. Aug 29th to 31st. Stating the obvious, most of these public holidays are ‘holy-days’, being related to festivals. I rate even Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanthi as holy-days. For our freedom fighters were not looking at liber

Inspiring post by Seth Godin, Why don’t authors compete? Reason? The universal recognition that there’s plenty of room for more authors, and that more reading is better than less reading, even if what’s getting read isn’t ours.  It’s not a zero-sum game. It’s an infinite game, one where we each seek to help ideas spread and lives change. It turns out that in most industries in the connection economy, that’s precisely what works. People happily tweet each other’s handles to th

Millennial as a group is still being looked at as mere talent, human resources, and workers! As such the way we look at their skills, aspirations, preferences. Another element that is being ignored is what many see as a different level of awareness, consciousness. Something people belonging to other groups are unable to fathom. It is not the good, old generation gap! When that perspective is also considered, the approach will be holistic and meaningful for the millennial....

@ Chennai! My new Karmabhoomi! New?! Or is it back, ‘home’? Where it all started, professionally, on 1/1/91. At #21, Patullos Road! ‘Took the road less travelled’! Drove down, enjoyed driving through torrential rains. Heavy traffic on the NH (courtesy, ‘CV’s!) do not allow to speed up. I empathise with CVs (commercial vehicles, that is) on highways, having worked with the industry for 15 yrsJ A little lane-discipline, from us all, will surely help. The tollbooths should add t
