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 positive statements. Statements that exude better picture of our future should be your favorite and at tip of your tongue. Small phrases, like ‘I can do it’ than ‘it’s impossible’ can do wonders and change your reality upside down for better.

Speak ……. Write …… Sketch!

Research says that odds of changing your life are 9 on 10. Whoaaaaaaaaaaa! It’s quite a great opportunity to build on your words. Graciously ask, pen down what you are seeking on paper and Sketch it! You do not need to be an artist extraordinaire to sketch and paint your future. Just use plain stick figures with bright colors to paint your vision. Do not forget to draw the roadmap to change with your desired new reality.

Put this picture in front of you as a reminder to ACT.
Do not forget to Act. Just Act and see your efforts coming to fruition.

Adaptability for Post Pandemic Careers

The new normal post, Covid 19 is evolving. The work, business, economy; all are transformed. Social connection while maintaining social distancing became the key phrase. Remote and hybrid work, shortening of the supply chains, more local for local, regional for regional is the new usual. Structural changes in the business demand rapid transformation of the skills required to equip new job roles. VUCA discussions have been calling for new skills adaption in leadership but the new normal post covid 19 asks for changes at the graduate level for employability. This has far-reaching implications for higher education in general, and academic advising in particular, because it promises to provide the new paradigm necessary to provoke the paradigm shift of integrating career advising and academic advising called for by Hughey and Hughey in NACADA’s Handbook of Career Advising. The expectation for a lifelong career is no longer realistic because the nature and pace of change in the workplace

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

Reconstructing Herd Mentality for Careers of Future

The world is flat but air travel is not available. The economy is planetary but pandemic made it local. Indian academia was trying to avoid and ignore the debate on online education whereas it established itself as a necessity. Work from home was a luxury and needed special sanctions, today it is essential and even mandatory for some job roles. Many are walking away from their jobs as the pandemic forced people to reevaluate their relationship with the job and their employers. "The Great Resignation" indicates the confluence of many factors shaped by the pandemic. Employers are forced to rethink ways to engage the workforce to stop attrition. The migration of the workforce indicates disruption of work centrality and peripheral values. The way out can be strengthening the core which will lead to more job satisfaction. We humans should dedicate more towards building skills for the unimaginable. The way out is building the core human values. Developing a stronger Personal
