We often step into leadership believing it’s a badge we must wear, a set of expectations we must fulfil. “Now that I’m a leader, I should be more decisive.” “I must have all the answers.” “Leaders don’t show vulnerability.” Sound familiar? Yesterday, during a coaching session, a client shared a list of “shoulds” and “musts” […]
A client once arrived at my virtual door, heavy with indecision. He’d been in the same job for over 20 years. Stable. Predictable. Secure. He knew what to expect. Promotions, salary increments, structure. And yet, inside him stirred something else; a dream. A calling. A whisper to step into uncharted territory: to become an entrepreneur. […]
Yesterday, I accompanied my parents (both in their 70s) to the Statue of Unity. What began as a typical sightseeing outing turned into something far deeper—a lesson in presence, perception, and inner awakening.

But have we ever paused to question whether our words accurately reflect reality? Let’s look at a simple workplace scenario: A woman expresses her frustration about a non-cooperative work environment. Moments […]
How do you know when you’ve cooked the perfect meal? Not from a recipe. Not from a rulebook. You just know. The taste, the texture, the reaction on someone’s face—it all comes together in a way that feels right. That’s how I learned to cook. Learning Through Experience, Not Instructions I was eight years old, […]
Your Mind is Your Biggest Enemy or Your Greatest Ally One moment, you feel confident. The next, doubt creeps in, whispering, “It’s not working.” I’ve been there. I watched others receive engagement—likes, comments, and shares—while my posts sat in silence. That silence felt like failure. I questioned everything: The doubt was loud. But then, I […]

One of the most powerful principles we explore in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the Law of Requisite Variety. This universal law states: The system or person with the most flexibility in behavior controls the system. In simpler terms, the more adaptable […]
