Article: Can we ban Normal, Please

An article that has been needed always, but now in current times, more than ever.

From the article -"When we want someone to accept something new we know they are going resist, we tell them it’s normal. 2020 is a great example of this."

We must have the courage to stay true to our strengths, and use them to benefit ourselves and others.

How to be a better Leader

Here is how the traditional choose one #leadershipstyle stacks up against the Four Domains of Leadership from Gallup's #cliftonstrengths assessment.

Makes a whole of sense to me, especially since I am able to blend it with the #situationalleadership model that I'm certified in.

A Thankful 2021

 Here are some of the things (in no particular order) that I am thankful and grateful for in 2021:

• A chance to go on a short vacation with my family.
• An overall healthy life through the year for me, my family and friends.
• The opportunity to go on a residential Facilitation Skills Training Program.
• The many career coaching and resume /interview coaching clients who signed up with me.
• The chance to sing in my choir for Christmas (I probably missed this the most since Apr 2020).
• My IAF colleague Varsha Chitnis for the opportunity to work on a long term senior leadership  intervention, that helped me use another assessment tool from the PRISM Brainmapping Inventory toolkit.
• The time to read 54 books this calendar year - a mix of fiction and non-fiction.
• My IAF fraternity, who gave me the chance to give of my time to Facilitation week by designing and delivering facilitated sessions on topics like Resilient Leadership and Difficult Conversations..
• The opportunity to be a part of the marketing team at the online IAF Facilitation Summit.
• The time to write 4 articles this year on topics like Resilience, Emotions, Job Descriptions and Goals. 
• My social media followers who have read and shared my articles, posts and other responses on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
• My friends who helped me record and release a few videos for my business.
• My mentor Sekhar Chandrasekhar, who generously gave me some of his favourite books.

FINALLY - 

• To all the errors I made, and the things that didn't go my way - thank you for the opportunity to reflect, learn and do better.  I hope I meet some new friends of yours in 2022, and I hope they will as kind (if not kinder) as you.
