Here are 4 reasons why you should come for my Bangalore Meet Up on 1st May. (This event is for aspiring coaches, coaches-in-training and seasoned ICF coaches) 1. You'll understand what coaching actually is There is a very common confusion between coaching, mentoring, therapy, counseling, giving advice, etc. A lot of people reach out to me and say "I want to get into coaching but I don't know if I'll make for a good coach". I'll answer this question AND do a live coaching demo for you to see what coaching really looks like. 2. You'll understand what transformational coaching actually is There is a trend where many coaches call themselves “transformational” coaches without understanding what that word really means. They do it because it sounds intriguing to people. I’ll do a live coaching demo of what transformational coaching looks like so you understand it better. 3. You'll understand how to make money as a coach Most coach training institutes will say, "Just get your coaching credentials. Clients will fall into your lap". Wrong. You’ll understand that you need to change your mindset from that of someone who’s “self employed” to that of a “business owner”. I’m inviting Balaji Pasumarthy, one of my own business mentors, to talk to coaches about how to develop a business owner mindset as a coach. 4. You'll learn how to integrate Indic Wisdom into your coaching A lot of authentic coaches seem to be interested in spirituality and learning about Indic Knowledge Systems. Krishna has met a lot of these coaches and taught these principles to a lot of the coaches. He’s spent the last few months understanding how to integrate concepts from Indic Wisdom into the ICF Core Competencies. And he’ll be teaching you how you can do that as well. In summary: → You'll learn what coaching is (and if you'll make for a good coach) → You'll understand what “transformational coaching” really is → You'll learn to make money as a coach → You'll learn how to integrate Indic Wisdom into your coaching. If any of these 4 reasons resonate with you, attend the event. The link to register is in the comments below. I'll see you on the 1st! Fill up this Form to Register: https://lnkd.in/eUR3QjJY

Paper leaks in competitive exams are becoming contentious issue. Behind it are not just a few individuals but many organised gangs who are backed by coaching institutes with support from agencies involved in conducting the tests. Why coaching institutes are required at all? Why such out of syllabus tough questions are required to be asked which are not discussed in regular school curriculum? These coaching institutes are responsible for suicide death of students by creating an atmosphere where it is next to impossible to get through any competitive exam without coaching. Questions should not be tough. It shall be easy but tricky. Get rid of coaching institutes, get rid of paper leaks, also get rid of suicide news of students. University Grants Commission (UGC)

From The Coach's Diary - Leadership Transformation Series (4) The Pace Setting Leader She was a CXO in a large organisation. She was a star performer. Her knowledge and Functional acumen were unparalleled in the organisation. She said that she was unable to slow down and reflect, there was a pressure within to keep running ahead. As a result, she had no patience to listen to her people as she felt it would slow down the pace of the team in moving towards the goals. She was always stressed out. The engagement report of her team indicated employee burn outs and unhappiness. Her Manager - the MD, advised her to slow down at times for necessary reflections, as also for her to re energise. Then one day, as we discussed on the various styles of Leadership, she suddenly looked very pensive as we went through the “Pace Setter”. These are leaders who are brilliant in their Function and shine out as individual contributors, however when they become people leaders, many times, they are unable to cope up with the new demand of leadership competencies, putting unnecessary pressures on the team. They are hesitant to delegate, even if they do, they insist things are done the way they do it and that too at a certain pace they are used to. These leaders, many times unknowingly, put too much of pressure on their people, creating an environment of mistrust and demotivation. She realised that she has a dominance of this style. As we proceeded in our conversations diving deeper on some of her core beliefs, two things emerged which had led to this style of leadership. 1. She had been brought up in a culture where there was intense competition. One had to always be on their toes to excel and become successful in their conventional terms. 2. One of her parents was an academician and hence there were a lot of expectations from her. She was made to feel valuable if she stayed ahead in the race. This had lead to her beliefs around always competing and excelling, and never to pause as it would slow her down in her endeavour. This belief was causing a lot of pain to her and to her team. She needed to reflect on them. People evolve in two phases: 1. Getting aware of oneself - our beliefs, values and attitudes. - our actions are driven by them 2. Working towards the change we seek, by making shifts in such disempowering beliefs and taking necessary action - and that's the learning curve She was now aware of the cost of her limiting beliefs. Now, she was set to bring in changes in her beliefs and her actions for achieving her true goals in life. #Leadershipstyle #Pacesetter #Selfawareness #EmotionalIntelligence #Coachingimpact

Mahindra Group is betting big on #electric, and why not? Auto makers can meet fuel efficiency norms or CAFÉ standards by either making ICE vehicles more efficient or by introducing new technologies like battery electric and fuel cell. It's great to see Indian OEMs like Mahindra, Tata, and others betting on electric vehicles. Another important takeaway is that if #CAFÉ standards are made more stringent, we will see the scaling up of new technology much faster—and the best part is that the government won't need to provide any financial assistance. https://lnkd.in/gqSa_dBt Dr. Hanif Qureshi, IPS The International Council on Clean Transportation ICCT India @beeindiadigital #ElectricVehicles #Sustainability #Innovation #AutoIndustry #Mahindra #Tata #CAFÉStandards #GreenTech

In the hustle and bustle of our daily routines, we sometimes lose track of time. Just yesterday, I was penning down my thoughts, utterly convinced that it was Friday. Well, today is unmistakably Friday and it's time to wrap up the week's reflections. Whether or not you've noticed it, you have grown, you have evolved, you have moved closer to the person you aspire to be. In the middle of all our pursuits - personal, professional, or entrepreneurial - let's pause, let's appreciate the journey we've undertaken. It's not just a date on the calendar, it's a marker of our personal evolution. As we set the sun on this week, let's do more than simply wrap up. Let's take a moment to reflect upon the journey we've traversed, the challenges we've overcome, and the victories we've earned. These experiences, no matter how small, are stepping stones on our path to growth. So, what insights has this week brought you? What victories are you celebrating? And how have they propelled you closer to the person you aspire to be?

🌟 Let's pause and ponder for a moment. 🌟 It truly surprises me how hollow and unaware our society can sometimes be. Recently, Prachi Nigam, the 2024 UP board topper, achieved a remarkable percentage of 98.5. Instead of being celebrated for her outstanding academic accomplishment, she was subjected to trolling and criticism for her appearance—specifically, her facial hair. This incident has left me disheartened and compelled to address a broader issue that permeates our society. It's disheartening to witness how gender biases manifest even in moments of achievement. I strongly believe that if the situation were reversed, and it was a boy in Prachi's position, such hyperfocus on appearance wouldn't be a consideration. The extent of the trolling was such that Prachi expressed a wish to have scored slightly lower marks to avoid public scrutiny. This reaction speaks volumes about the toxic culture of judgment and criticism that prevails, especially towards women. What many fail to recognize are the myriad challenges women face, particularly regarding their health. The hormonal changes women undergo—monthly cycles, hormonal disorders like PCOD and PCOS—are often overlooked or misunderstood. These conditions not only affect physical health but also take a toll on mental well-being. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), for instance, affects millions of women worldwide, yet it remains vastly underdiagnosed. The symptoms—excessive hair growth, weight fluctuations, irregular menstruation—are often stigmatized, adding to the burden women already carry. Let's take a step back and acknowledge the intricate biology of the female body, which not only sustains life but also undergoes the rigors of reproduction and child-rearing. It's high time we move beyond superficial judgments and appreciate individuals for their talents, contributions, and resilience. For far too long, women have been judged solely on the basis of their appearance. Could it be that society is apprehensive of the potential women possess when granted equal opportunities and resources? My humble request to all is simple: let's shift the narrative. Let's stop judging individuals based on their looks and instead celebrate their achievements and the value they bring to society. Let's create a culture of inclusivity, respect, and appreciation. And Prachi, you go girl! 👑 #women #feminism #endappearancebias #celebratetalent #womeninSTEM

Plain white sneakers v/s Statement heels : What’s more professional? It was almost 2pm, but the HR NEXUS 3.0 event was supposed to start by 1pm. Scared and anxious we were waiting for people to turn up and even went on thinking what if the Delhi People actually went out party early on Saturday, But Delhi people being fashionably late, did start pouring in on the Saturday afternoon, ditching last minute plans😇 HR NEXUS 3.0 one of a kind experience was the brainchild of FriendsSquare which was held on 4th May, with our motive to form a community for people in areas of Human Resource, Diversity & Inclusion, Organizational Psychologist to have meaningful conversation rather than just deciding ki “Isse baar Fun Friday mein kya Karna hai”. We started 4 months back with lots of ideas in mind but a single goal of having a networking event which really served its purpose. From team meetings to thinking on ideas in breakout rooms we compiled everything. Google documents, spreadsheet were best friends for 4 months with a rollercoaster of emotions. Inviting people to add them in our WhatsApp community groups to thinking about interactional activities that were informative yet engaging, we had a surprise stored for everyone who joined in🤗. The journey started with the theme ' ‘Beyond the Age Gap: Paving The Way For Multigenerational Teams’ which is the need of the hour. The next hunt for a perfect venue that served the purpose of how we pictured our event and #RadissonHotel, helped us achieve it all. Meeting the bright minds from across generations and understanding and listening to their different perspectives gave us a platform to grow. While we were upset and anxious about people not turning up at the start, once they did start pouring in, it was overwhelming and surprising to have them recognising me by a single phone call with them or just being the admin of the WhatsApp group. While we might have underestimated ourselves the event was a testament to all our efforts and #hardwork. Together, we celebrate our #victories, learn from our #setbacks, and grow stronger with each passing day. Our journey is a testament to the resilience and determination of women everywhere, and I am grateful to walk this path with each of you by my side. PS: A little context to my title, I had decided to wear white sneakers initially for the comfort but then had to jump into my statement heels.

​Employer branding has emerged as a cornerstone for businesses seeking to attract and retain top talent. However, it is not merely a facet of talent acquisition; it’s an integral part of a company’s overall brand strategy. It encompasses the narrative a company builds about its work environment, the experiences it offers, and the values it upholds. A strong employer brand not only attracts talent but also plays a crucial role in employee retention and engagement. #Talentaquisition #​Employerbranding https://lnkd.in/grz4zEHc

How do we make organizations ready for change and build mechanisms that equip leaders and teams to look forward to the excitement that change brings along? The excitement of doing something new. The excitement of taking risks and thinker much bigger than where we are. The excitement of failing. And being new again at something. How do we create a psychologically safe space for this? Coaching is the answer. Some excerpts from our address at the CII Delhi HR Conclave 2024.

#LucasTVS group has launched our Leadership Institute recently. The renowned management guru and prolific author Dr Ram Charan was our chief guest. He enlightened us with the following nuggets: * For any business Growth is not optional ; it’s essential for long term sustainability. * Sustainable growth of business is possible only when capabilities of leaders and team members are increased through deliberate efforts. * Leadership is required at every level to sustain the growth momentum. * Developing mastery at personal level is very important for leaders at any level. * In addition leaders must commit to improve the capabilities of others. * Leaders must have the curiosity to know what’s new in the environment as there’s constant discontinuity keeps happening due to rapidly changing environment - technology, geo politics and more. * When they identify something new that could be useful to their business or likely to disrupt their business, they must have the commitment to learn more about it from the relevant practitioners and experts. * This requires the intent and the ability to listen - to understand and internalise what others say. This capability distinguishes an effective leader from others. * Sustainable growth is possible only when the business develops competitive advantages that differentiate them from their competitors. * Developing competitive advantage requires the participation and collaboration beyond departmental silos. * Mastering problem solving through Cross Functional Teams can be a great competitive advantage for business. * Diversity of thoughts and points of view are possible only through teamwork. * Leadership is not about individual heroism. It’s about collective achievement in an environment of mutual accountability. * Consensus for the sake of it will not be constructive. * Getting things done is the primary job of any leader. * To get things done the leader must focus on the vital few KPI, the ones that matter to achieve the objectives of the organisation. * These KPI must be monitored the right way - right frequency, right people and right approach to move forward to achieve objectives * The leader must follow through continuously to ensure the objectives are achieved. * Execution is the key element of successful strategy. It’s not the intellectual brilliance of the strategy that wins the day. It’s the cadence and rigour of getting things done that makes the difference. * The interaction of a leader with anyone requires investing in the other person. * This investment starts with understanding the unique talent of every person in the team and connecting it to achieve the objective of the team. * If things go awry, helping the team members understand what delayed or derailed the course and collaboratively developing a recovery to achieve the objectives helps improve employee satisfaction as they feel listened to and guided appropriately. #leadershiplessons #executionexcellence #DrRamCharan
