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.

' 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...

Method Behind Magic

“Be open, be Impatient and Be Hopeful’ Listening to Sundar Pichai addressing the passing out batch of 2020 is magical, quintessential and evoke hope. No matter you are passing out this year or you graduated twenty years ago, it shows you light in despairing time. Trying to dissect the anatomy of his narrative, I faced the power of number three. Rule of 3 is a literary device used to make language come alive. Steve Job in his famous commencement speech at Stanford narrated three personal stories to evoke emotions (pathos) engage authentically (ethos) with his personal experiences and bring home the values of trust, faith and uncertainty of life as logical conclusions (logos). Mr Pichai too used personal experiences, powerful language and detailed description to give a message of hope to the youth. Information combined with emotion becomes a memory. “If you want something stuck in someone’s head, put it in a sequence of three,” Brian Clark, founder of Copyblogger said. Ru...
