Consider and Act

Zig Ziglar once said, “If people like you, they will listen to you. If people trust you, they will do business with you”. Isn’t that true? TRUST IS THE CURRENCY TO DO BUSINESS You may know someone who has all the certificates in the world, but if you can’t trust him, you won’t do business with him. Trust is built on TRUTH. If you are looking to build your business, build the trust factor. 3 ways how we can build trust in our organization 1.Speak the truth 2.Make commitments y

Remember the days when you used to put Kodak film into a camera roll? You could never think of a birthday party, a corporate event, or a social gathering without the Kodak film. But then what happened? The Digital Revolution took place and Kodak failed to adapt and innovate. That’s why, today, we don’t hear of Kodak anymore. We need to stay relevant. The values of our organization shouldn’t change but perhaps our product, our service or our strategy needs to change to be rele

When someone asks us to introduce ourselves, why is it that many of us start with the word 'basically'. This word has become a crutch for us. If you face that challenge, here’s how we can introduce ourselves: If you are a Student, talk about the subjects you are pursuing and the extracurricular activities that you enjoy doing. If you are an Employee, talk about the role you have in the company, your contribution towards the organization and your hobbies. If you are a Business

“I wish I had more time”, isn’t this a statement that we all have used at some point in our lives? However, wishing for more time is pointless because we will never get more than 24hrs a day. Here’s what you can do: Identify your time wasters / your time suckers. Problem: For some people it is spending a crazy amount of time on social media.

“You could fall off the ladder you climbed on”. That's a statement by Hammering Hank, an American baseball player and it speaks about pride.

“The disease of me can lead to the defeat of us.” That's a statement by Pat Riley, a basketball coach of the LA Lakers from the book, ‘The winning way 2.0’. Every day in every project, you have a choice to work as a TEAM PLAYER or to work as a SOLO PERFORMER. As a Team Player, you need to learn how to listen more to others, understand their perspective and have an inclusive approach at all points in time. But, as a Solo Performer all that you do is think of your wants and you

Don’t ever look down on people. A pastor of a church once said, “Don’t look at people in their current position, rather look at people in their potential.” Ask yourself this question, “Does that person have an attitude to learn?”. If your answer is “yes”, then ask yourself this question, “Where do you see that person one year from now with the right amount of training and encouragement?”.

Leadership is vital for the success of an organization as it increases the productivity of the team and gives the people a common vision.

Jack: “So, are you ready?” Joan: “Umm….. ac….act….actually, uh….” Jack: “I thought you wanted this?” Joan: “Yes, I…..I do. But I think I need more time.” Haven't we all experienced this at some point in our lives? There's something we want, a role/an opportunity, but when the opportunity gets presented to us, we are not ready. We miss what we were hoping for because we were not prepared. John Wooden, a basketball coach in the USA, once said, “When opportunity comes, it's too

In my opinion, leveraging your time is the key to success. It increases your productivity and effectiveness. Here are two things you must do to leverage your time: 1. Write it Write down whatever you want to get done on PAPER, a WHITEBOARD, or on an APP. This task helps you declutter and free up your mind so that you can think creatively. 2. Prioritize it Create a priority list. A priority list is an updated version of a to-do list. A to-do list tells you what to get do ne, b

Here is a thought to encourage us in our journey of personal growth as a student, employee, entrepreneur and beyond. The blend of being competitive, enterprising and yet at the same time knowing our roots is vital.

The book 'Case for Grace' is a beautiful book of stories of transformed lives written by journalist Lee Strobel, a New York Times bestselling author. Here is a quote (a paraphrase) which speaks on the need of respecting and loving people. People are not products to be fixed. How often do we think of people more as a problem to be solved, than a person to be loved? This book speaks of changed lives and the power of the Eternal One working in them.
