Let’s Learn from Movie Industry!




Mastering Interviews: Winging v/s Scripting
‘I like to be spontaneous and natural while answering questions. I cannot sham myself, I’ll rather like winging than faking.’ said a student of mine while discussing strategies for answering frequently asked interview questions. My take on this will be “it’s not faking .Its understanding yourself, planning, practicing and executing your thoughts in a way that they come out as credible and appropriate answers.”
The movie industry is the best example of penning, rehearsing and executing the scenes to deliver power packed performances. All the acts, situations and dialogues do not come naturally to the actors. They can’t just ‘wing it’ all the time. There is obviously a script with well written dialogues to be executed; to deliver a believable character on screen. Much practice, rehearsals and retakes are required to pull it all.
It’s strategic to script, memorize, practice and implement appropriate answers to key interview questions. But the script must be appropriate and credible. Practice, Practice and practice till the time it comes out as sincere answer.
Once you have prepared your answers, start role playing them with family and friends. When you reach to the point when your scripted answers are coming out as ‘real’ to them, you are well on the road to success. Dress for the part, practice, rehearse, retake, more practice and execute to sound believable and genuine.

What If and Why Not?

Not Yet ……is the phrase to be used when we lose. Pick yourself up to strive one more time rather than say, ‘ I failed’ . When the focus is winning and success, we lose. People who are oblivion of winning and work for excellence, with passion and love; the success knocks at their door at the time when least expected. Best talents may remain hidden or be lost at the worst as they lack the grit to stumble and get up on the roadblocks on way to success. Lack of willingness to fail and start all over again is the root cause of failure not the absence of technical or life skills. All these skills are acquirable if you have the grit. REMEMBER: To grow a carrot, the farmer must give it fertilizer, water, and soil—but must allow for the carrot to grow and spread its own roots; only this way can the carrot find its path to the most nutrients to ensure the strongest growth. Same goes for us, learn the right skills, acquire knowledge and strive but do not focus on winning all time, our...

"There are no stupid questions,but do you have smart answers?" Questions they ask and what they are really asking is differ...

Sketch Your Future

Our language creates our reality. The words we utter resonate in universe and set the intentions of Universe to give us what have we asked for! ‘I never got lucky,’…..Ok! Universe heard you. Little fortunate incidents of winning a lotto or Bingo will never come your way. But I also know people who say, ‘I always win’ and they always have stories to share that how fortune favors them. Language is a tool for sketching your future .Use language to nudge universe towards different ways of giving you what you aspire for. Whenever your rational, logical brain tries to tell you that your PRESENT state is ok and comfortable; just take these three steps: Stop……Think……… REPHRASE! If you are stuck with a mucky job and an irritating boss, or a girl you want to talk to, just say a better job with a supportive boss is looking for you instead of my salary package is fine /my boss is not that bad/ why she will look at me when she can have anyone, Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! Poke your future with positi...
