What's the Story You Want to Tell?

Hi Reader How are you doing? So the largest democracy in the world started voting, and I did cast my vote. To be honest, in my 20s I never really bothered. I felt my vote would not matter in the larger scheme of things. I know I was wrong. So I did exercise my vote. That's a right. And you'll be wrong if you don't exercise it. Now, what about the rights you earn as you grow in life? Whoever you have become: an educator, a teacher, a salesperson, a lawyer, a doctor, an engineer, a business...

Hi Reader Jeff Bezos once said that he often gets asked what's going to change in the next ten years. And it makes sense that people ask him as he built Amazon, one of the most successful companies on planet Earth. He also says that people don't ask the slight variant of the question which is more important. Before I reveal what Jeff said, we are all somehow fascinated or feared by change. The reality is change is the only constant. But here's the thing. We don't know what we don't know about...

Hi Reader Today I'm going to share a fun interview I had with my coaching client. I was watching it again while editing the interview video (sorry, it's not HD video because of a setting I did not do in Zoom. I'm still learning!). But the discussion we had was fascinating. I did almost no editing to what Sandeep was saying! (hope you read between lines that I was the one deviating and I had to cut those parts out!) Everything he said was pure value. Sandeep is a veteran in Learning and...

Hi Reader How are you doing today? Today, I want to talk to you about something transformative – the power of Systems. Currently, it's one of the things I've been actively focussing in all areas of my life. Systems are all around us. We all are part of it - whether we like it or not. Think about it. Every month, we pay bills on the same date. We are part of someone's system. Now, why on earth we would not use it for our life? Something to think about. Since we have started the year, I'll talk...

Hi Reader It's one of those times where we take a moment to pause and contemplate the journey we've traveled. Also the time to appreciate the lessons learned, the challenges overcome in the past year. But here's the thing. While we can do the reflecting any time of the year, the New Year is an opportunity for us to reset our lives and do things that adds deeper meaning and purpose. It's just easy to get caught up in the routine and lose sight of the profound significance that each passing...

Hi Reader Years ago, I was busy competing in speech contests. I think it was the first time I crossed three levels. Even though, I achieved that milestone, I hit a roadblock: Many people gave me critical (read that.. negative) feedback about my enunciation. No surprises. I was a non-native speaker who is competing with native speakers. Of course, I had an accent. I did not have much time. The 4th level of contests was in a few weeks. I had to get this straight. I could not turn to my mentor...

Hi Reader I'm grateful to have you in my world in 2023 and thank you for allowing me to be part of your world. If my work provided any value, I'm truly excited, and I'm cheering for you from here! You'd probably know this but it's worth saying that public speaking is not an option but a necessity. Jim Rohn (an erstwhile icon in personal development space) told beautifully that you'll get a living when you learn to speak, but you'll get to be successful, when you learn to speak well. My own...

Hi Reader How are you doing? Just a quick heads up. The enrollment for video course "The Ultimate Public Speaking Survival Guide" is still OPEN. But the current enrollment with bonuses closes on Dec 6th 2023. The more I am getting older, the more I'm realising that there is a price we have to pay to learn something. It does not matter whether you pay now, or pay later. Price has to be paid to learn. And also, opportunity plays an important role. There are certain things that we wish we had...

Hi Reader When we learn a skill, how do we make it a part of us (unconscious competence)? By incorporating all in real time? Yes.. and No. That's what we will discuss in today's lesson. For example, I'm writing an email now to some 1400+ people. I'm at a place where I'm very comfortable doing this now but it was not the case when I started initially. I used to be nervous even for sending emails! It's hard to believe right?... :). Just to share some insights on how it's done. I'm not sending...

Hi Reader How are you doing? I'll just assume that you are having a fun weekend. If you are in US, hope you had a great thanksgiving, and fun Black Friday shopping! In today's email session, I want to share video lesson #25 that's part of my brand new video course "The Ultimate Public Speaking Survival Guide" On a side note, reviews and feedback from beta users seems encouraging. Course will be open for you, by next week. More on that later.. In video lesson #25, I'll answer the question "Is...
