life is more about detours.....

You will be there..... I mean it!
Life may not follow the map you draw to reach your destination but you will be there,All in Time.
The worst things in life turns out to be best!

Bracing the detours....Misses are important than hits,all that matters is staying true to yourself.
No matter what the crowd does or say....just keep playing. It took me 13 years to realize what I meant to be or to do. If telling my story can help others I am here to share. Getting married and having a child immediately after I graduated derailed me from my path of ambition and career. I never was keen on a job.A born entrepreneur failed and gave up too soon on my business.When I joined the workforce I was 6 years behind my contemporaries,but I was happy to be working.I slogged with a smile, kept on learning and picking new skills on my way.

In college I was never sure of what I wanted to do, I just wanted to be successful. In which domain?which industry?..It was not known. On my journey people told me what I am good at. They showed me my strengths. Pitfalls taught me about my weaknesses, but I kept walking.Lightening struck after thirteen years while doing an activity in my class that this is what I love and This is what I meant to be...A Teacher,a coach ,a mentor and trainer.

Things you need to be on track:
Keep the love lamp glowing in your heart.Passion is what will keep you pushing no matter how much you want to quit.

Being scared is okay,still go for the ride.Its like a roller coaster,after first few minutes,you will start enjoying your ride.

Keep learning.True happiness comes from accepting the life as it is; not the way you want it to be.
Live every moment. Learning to love ,learning to lose, learning to live, learning to be happy with yourself,learning to be.

My best lessons which I share today proudly in my training sessions have come from my detours and roadblocks.So cut the chase ,trust the grace.

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
