Last week, I found myself on stage at Talent Boost 2023, delivering a spontaneous two-minute sales pitch about Finest Talent. I was asked to step up just couple of minutes before the event, no preparations or slides — pure winging it. 🕐 The result? +200 people in the audience (+online participants) now know our name and what we do! I thrive on the unexpected and love engaging with a live crowd. 🌟 What are your top tips for presenting on stage? 👇 When I say Finest, you say? #finesttalent #recruitment #talentboost

It's been two months at C4E and this is part 2/3 of my B̶o̶m̶b̶a̶y̶ V̶i̶s̶i̶t̶, C4E Visit! In a previous post, I talked about immense networking and how one can leverage the same. (𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴) This one is going to be about the 𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚 and how C4E is the village that provides you with that! The 𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚 explained by Sahil Bloom is that each of us as an individual has a surface area on which lucky events can strike. There are some factors beyond our control but the size of luck surface is in our control. The luckiest people have had larger luck surface area either by choosing alternative routes, meeting new people or networking! (𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴) During the three days, I realized the interactions at #c4e table either at the Starbucks centre table, at the Jamjar table where I met Somya Paramguru 🌐, (She is the voice behind Doreamon's title song which she sang at the age of 6) or in the event at Juhu where I met Ria Chowdhary, a consultant and a PR Professional! All these interactions were an opportunity to: - Network - To increase my luck surface area - Be in a room full of interesting people 𝐒𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐈 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧?  - if I'm getting two choices to be with people or be at a place, choose the place or people where your luck surface area is high! - It's fine if I'm the dumbest in the room or new to the people. But the first step to increase the luck surface area is to seize that opportunity and be at the centre table! 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞? - Personal branding. Next post on that. Ps: I was not going to that event but I met two other Riya's there. One was me - Riya. One was Rhea and one was Ria. Picture for the algo and the evening ritual at C4E! #learning #opportunity #networking #lucksurfacearea #culture #people

It is GCI Friday! 🌟 It should be no different to GCI Monday, Tuesday,…you get the picture. Some utilise their natural energies in different ways at the weekend. Do you have different personas or alter-egos that come to life during the weekend? 🎭 Just like gaining extra perspectives brings clarity and insights (something I love to do for others), our alter-egos offer diverse ways to express our impact in our worlds. As we say in the GCI (Game-Changing Index) world, it all comes down to context. Even with a staggering 100,000 individual profile combinations, we each have unique ways (sometimes, yes, plural) of utilizing our natural energies and tendencies.   👉🏻Do you switch between personas at home and work? Share your alter-egos and the exciting ways you project your impact! 💥 👈🏻 As for me, since discovering The GC Index, having my profile done, and saw its power and so became a GC Partner, my personas have merged to become the real me all the time. 🚀 Embracing my Game-Changing self has been a transformative, liberating and passionate journey! #GCIFriday #People #Experience #Talent #TheGCIndex
