A great session for us executive coaches and leadership/business coaches on coaching, leadership, mindfulness & LIFE! Great to hear Jan stress on #LifePurpose. And Viktor Frankl (‘ one of the best books’ , Man’s Search for Meaning), came up more than once (a personal favorite). ‘W e can’t influence stimuli. But we can influence the reaction . Between the stimuli and the reaction is the freedom of choice‘ -Dr. Frankl Every ‘no’ is the beginning of a ‘YES’ ! Steve Jobs always

Back from a very refreshing trip to Dubai. Was a delegate at #ICFME2014, Dubai. Met up with my mentor-coach, Janet Harvey. Got to re-connect with Coach-Guru, Dr. Marshall Goldsmith. Caught up with many old friends, made a few new friends. The trip was totally hassle-free. Travel, stay, conference, et al. Feeling grateful! Walked around Jabel Ali resort, with peacocks! Went around the city, with friends’ Lexus, Audi, Volvo, etc. (love those machines, on Dubai roads!) More impo

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.
