I Wish You Well

Cuss cuss cuss cuss……
You are on an Indian road, stuck in traffic, loud honks, animals in the middle of the road, local  cabbies driving as if they own the roads…All this madness is enough to overwhelm you to cough out a few cuss words which your mom always refrained you to use from. The dilemma becomes further agonizing when you are a soft skill trainer and are supposed to train others’ right conducts and to be lady like.
What you do?
Push your foot hard on the brake paddle and scream with your car………Screeeeeeeeeeechhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
NO
Talking about our troubles is our biggest habit. Break the Habit and talk about joys. You are not your thoughts. You are not your feelings. They are part of you, but not the entirety of you. Learn to be aware of them rather than become them.
Whenever you feel stressed, STOP and just breath.be grateful that you are safe and healthy. On road you can be grateful of the comforts of your car, cool air when temperature on road is 48 degrees. Observe the madness around and you will always find a clown to laugh.
Do not be harsh on yourself. Feeling negative is a vicious downward spiral which will take you to the pit of darkness and on the other hand Gratitude is a booming upward spiral which will make you feel better.

STRESS→→Pause→→Gratitude

So when I drive and face such madness I cry out loud ‘I Wish You Well’! Breaking the habit is not easy but I try. I have a note pasted on my dashboard that says I wish You well and in case a forget my car pool partner reminds me of my cuss word, ‘I wish you well’.

' To Stop' list

Everyday as I check in office ,I see lots of sticky notes pasted on boards,strewn  around wastebaskets.They were yesterday's 'TO DO' lists. Much of accomplished work ,ticked boxes or some not ticked too.A very good way to organize your work and get things accomplished. I have lot to be accomplished in my mind too. But my mind play games.It takes me to the trip of a far away land , land of apprehensions,sometime land of doubts and land of fear too. A dreamland of expectations has been visited a lot by me. Guilt trips are too often for a working mom like me who juggle PTA meets and boardroom meetings. Eureka! Seeing these sticky notes around, made me realize that what We need more is 'TO STOP' list; more than the To Do list to get us ahead with our work. Every morning lets make mental notes as well as visible reminders also of our 'To Stop' list.  What I need to tell my mind To Stop doing today is: Stop expecting and start giving Stop Telling an...

3 Wonderful Ways Storytelling Can Help You Crack A Job Interview

Interviews are conversations between two people (maybe more) with the primary objective of judging an applicant by the recruiter.  The interview is a complex process where oral communication, persuasion, negotiation and storytelling work in tandem to help recruiter judge a candidature. The job of the candidate is to persuade the recruiter to judge in his/her favour. Storytelling has a wider use in today’s world whether it’s marketing a brand or marketing self to a Recruiter, storytelling can do the magic for you. My interactions with students just out of the interview room, at UPES as an employability coach, give me a sneak peek of what works and what does not. Those who come out smiling have a story to tell and those with a frown are lost for words. The emotional connections that stories make are engaging and move the audience. Storytelling persuades listeners to be more attentive. Those who understand the power of stories do their best to widen their outlook and those who wit...
