What helps me as a facilitator? #Preparation: Preparation is never complete yet somewhere I have to start. Monthly meetings of Mumbai – IAF are always a reference point for me, no matter which program I am preparing for! #Involvement: Well… that’s just a word! For me the action is actually in physically acting as opposed to thinking of activities, structures, processes etc. Example: I always prepare the WoWs or ILOs on handwritten charts even if WoWs may be common for most programs and ILOs can be common for most programs related to a common theme. Even the checklists I like to have hand-written. #Instructions: I always keep the instructions in written and the pages numbered; no matter how many times have I run the process. It helps de-clutter the mind for a smooth execution of the process. #Pre-formed questions: For me questions are the answers! Well-formed questions are the key to driving learning successfully. Thus, I invest hours in framing questions in advance. #Sound Boarding: Once, the process is finalized based on the ILOs, I bounce it to a senior facilitator, in most cases Mr. Arvind Murwaha. Believe me it is the single most effective activity I do during preparation phase. It has always added value.

In a refreshing twist, South Indian actress Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and Mumbai-based businessman Nicholai Sachdev have embraced a new marital convention.   After their grand wedding in Thailand on July 2, Nicholai decided to add his wife's name to his own, becoming Nicholai Varalaxmi Sarathkumar Sachdev. This modern approach, where the husband takes the wife's name, symbolizes equality and mutual respect in marriage.   Historically, in India, the practice of a wife taking her husband's name began as a reflection of patriarchal norms. This custom reinforced male dominance and the idea that women were under the guardianship of male family members.   However, it’s heartening that many couples today are increasingly viewing marriage as a partnership of equals. Nicholai's decision underscores a progressive shift towards more balanced and respectful individuality and shared identity in marriage.   As more couples like Nicholai and Varalaxmi embrace these practices, they pave the way for future generations to redefine marital norms, promoting equality & respect and hopefully a resolute commitment to share the load! #ChangingParadigms #EqualityInMarriage #ModernRelationships #VaralaxmiSarathkumar #NicholaiSachdev

#vvtakehomes The art of story telling in itself is a journey of the character into the experiences of the main character. If the story is about oneself, and then we get stuck in the dimensions of the character, the prism to look from can clear the cobwebs and showcase the core intent and the belief system that one rests upon. Curiosity as the first dimension moves you into the domain of realisation of the self from a protectionist intent. Compassion as the second dimension relieves the self as the supreme and melts away the ego to a state of calmness. Courage as the third dimension enables us to have belief in oneself and pursue the path to cross hurdles and reach the goal The core message in the story telling of the self is this realisation about the self, and gaining and sustaining the courage to move towards the goals with a sense of curiosity and compassion both reflecting on the status of the self. #curiosity #compassion #courage #ego #goal #hurdles

What is my #excuse? #selfreflection I have been reflecting internally after that inspiring meeting with Srikanth Bolla and also a timely reminder from my good friend Sayu Sekhar about the iconic 'no excuses' Nike ad (link in comments), I found myself pondering over our tendency to make excuses. In our #personal and #professional lives, it's easy to find reasons why we can't achieve certain things. Whether it's due to time constraints, resource shortages, or other external factors, excuses often stand in the way of our #potential. However, stories like Srikanth’s remind us of the incredible achievements possible when we #push beyond these self-imposed limits. Srikanth shared a profound thought during our discussion, "𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦. 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘳𝘶𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. 𝘐 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵!" This statement really hit me hard, emphasizing the power of facing challenges head-on, regardless of the circumstances. This #mindset shift from "I can't because..." to "How can I?" is powerful. It transforms #obstacles into #opportunities, fostering #innovation and driving us forward even under the most daunting circumstances. This #reflection brings me to ask: How often do we hold ourselves back by not questioning the validity of our excuses? Imagine the #possibilities if we adopted a 'no excuses' approach more frequently. Let’s #challenge ourselves to reflect on the excuses we often make. Are they genuinely insurmountable, or are they comfort zones keeping us from reaching our full potential? As we #progress in our careers and personal lives, let's strive to transform every excuse into a stepping stone towards #success. What excuses are you ready to let go of today? #leadership #motivation #noexcuses #personalgrowth #Nike #accountability #career

In the words of Revered Swami Vivekanand ji .. “The whole secret of existence is to have no fear” Often we come across situations where we misunderstand what we are going through in context with anxiety or fear. Hence, to shed some more light on the above mentioned terms, below mentioned is the link to my latest article published across the globe by ICN National. https://lnkd.in/gfMuE4Mf Heartfelt gratitude to Dr.Vinay Bansal for his valuable inputs . It was indeed an enriching experience collaborating with him for this article. Do read the entire writeup for some deep insights and understanding. #abhinavmalhotrablogs #vishwashospital #drvinaybansal #anxiety #fear

Most of us carry our past experience, behaviour, leadership styles etc. Do we recognise and adapt to newer challenges, leadership requirements and become proactive? Do we tune ourselves to the need of short term and mid term requirements (objectives)without jeopardising long term needs? Do we know how to effectively navigate between MACRO and MICRO understanding? Do we know when to delegate and when to make our hands dirty?

What do you mean by 'Do Not Drop The Value'? In our everyday work-life, we deal with multiple dependencies involving various people. The more people involved in a task, the greater the chances of miscommunication and misalignment. How do we avoid this? In today’s video, I talk about ‘Do Not Drop The Value’ and the importance of understanding the big picture in every task and our role as part of that picture. I have also shared the same in text form in the comments as also a few Q&A’s that might come up. #values #lifeskills #learning

The viewpoint articulated by Dr. Mohan is underpinned by a significant body of empirical evidence and corroborated by the consilience of interdisciplinary research. After two decades of professional engagement in the pharmaceutical sector, I can attest to the veracity of his assertion. Multivitamins are often seen as a panacea for nutrient deficiencies; however, they are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Multivitamin supplements may not deliver sufficient quantities of specific nutrients, and indiscriminate intake, absent a clinically identified deficiency, may not confer health benefits and might, in certain instances, provoke adverse effects. Such nuanced considerations mandate a more individualized approach to supplementation, guided by specific nutrient deficits ascertained through rigorous diagnostic evaluations.

Since the choice of condoms has long been a prerogative of men, it has been a sensitive and often avoided subject among women. There is a prevalent discomfort and intimidation associated with discussing this matter, which persists to date. In our latest campaign, we aim to leave behind the era when purchasing condoms was solely a man's responsibility. With this campaign, we seek to encourage women to take an active role in making decisions regarding their sexual health, including the selection of condoms. It's important to acknowledge that women should have the freedom to make decisions about protection, considering their preferences and needs. This change in mindset is essential to ensure that women are not overlooked in matters concerning their sexual well-being. This initiative by MANKIND PHARMA LTD represents a significant stride towards promoting gender equality and empowering women to make informed decisions that affect their well-being, particularly in the realm of sexual health. Let's encourage both partners to make informed decisions together. Link to the video - https://lnkd.in/gH3-guJx #MankindPharma #SexualAwareness #sexualhealth #Manforce #EpicThinXCondoms #condoms

Buddha said, "We are shaped by our thoughts. We become what we think." The mind is so unbelievably powerful in ways we could never imagine.You and I don't need to understand exactly how it works, we just need to take care of our minds and let the magic happen. Our subconscious mind takes orders from our conscious mind. The subconscious mind doesn't ask questions, it doesn't differentiate between empowering thoughts and demoralizing thoughts. It just acts upon thethoughts that we think. All outcomes and experiences in our lives are a direct result of our dominant mental thoughts. What we think, we become because our subconscious minds translate into reality our thought impulses. When we ask ourselves a demoralizing question like "Why does this always happen to me?" our subconscious minds go to work whether we realize it or not. How do you think it responds to a demoralizing questionlike that? You are brilliant; it answers it with a bunch of demoralizing answers. It's just like the computer you are reading. A computer's output is based on its input. When a computer hacker tries tocommit a cyber crime or steal someone's identity, the computer doesn't say it can't do that because that's illegal. It just performs what its user instructed it to do whether it's legal or illegal. Our subconscious minds act the same exact way a computer does. Its output is based on its input whether it's a positive input or a negative input. Its not rocket science, if you want to change your output,you must change its input. The quality of your life is going to depend on the quality of your thoughts. The more empowering questions you ask your subconscious mind, the more empowered you will be. You mustunderstand that the dominate thoughts of your mind will eventually manifest into the real world. Use incredible thoughts to manifest an incredible life. What do you think?
