From Self-Doubt to Self-Worth
I started writing actively on LinkedIn last year and I must admit, I was scared as hell to begin. I had been journaling for a while but it took me months to gather some courage to publish my first post.

The Courage You Didn’t Know You Had
I've had my own struggles with such difficult situations. Moments such as these would give me extreme anxiety. Self condemnation and reproach would cripple my thinking ability. I would feel exposed. As if all this time I'd been trying to maintain this façade of being much more in control that I actually am. And now the curtain's dropped and they see the real me. They must be thinking I wasn't so good after all. I'd feel under attack. My whole credibility, reputation, everything I'd worked hard for was under attack. All this time I was trying to growing in my career, raise the bar, move up the charts and yet deep inside, extremely vulnerable. I didn't have the stomach to handle situations where my neck was on the line. I was scared of such situations.

What Is Your Identity?
You are the Chief Visionary Officer of your life. It is only you who should be choosing the life you want to live. And to live a certain life, you need to become a certain person.
The question is, have you thought about who you want to become though? Do you have a vision of your future self?

What Path Will You Choose?
There’s never been a better time to chase your dreams. And yet, there’s never been a worse one to squander it all.
The scale of resources we have at our disposal today were unimaginable 50 years ago. Access to knowledge has never been easier. Yet we live in a world rife with disinformation and conspiracies.
How Has Leadership Changed Over The Years?
I remember in the early days of my career, senior leadership mixing up with subordinates like their own was a rare breed. It was considered cool to be intense, to maintain an “executive presence”, a swagger. Like a lion prowling around in his territory, employees would think twice before stepping in that corner office. This distance between the leadership and the “rest of the lot” was important. It signified the class divide. It was all part of the craft.

About Fresh Starts..
My first distinct memory of a year ending with any sort of significance attached to it was the turn of the last century. Up until that point, I never really cared to think of it as an important milestone.
Self-Awareness is Your Superpower
If you’re in the business of dealing with people, you need to understand them. And before you understand them, you need to understand yourself. Know yourself as in not who you’d like yourself to be. But who you actually are.

Scared to Fail?
Mastering Uncertainty: A Leader’s Guide to Thriving in Chaos
You will always have curveballs thrown at you. There will always be situations when you won't have a clue. Such situations not only pose a challenge but also present the opportunity for growth.
We talk, But do we listen?
I have been bothered lately about my relationship with my parents. It’s bugged me that every time I speak with them it’s always about something in relation to my life. There's just not enough effort to understand them at a deeper level, to learn about them, their life stories and perspectives.

Why Losing is the Best Lesson You’ll Ever Get
You need a clear vision to become world beaters. England were truly the deserved world champions. They've transformed their cricket from, quite frankly, dull to exciting just over the last ten years. How did they do that? They had a vision to only endorse to and play an aggressive brand of cricket in the shorter version of the game.

The One Shift That Changes Everything
In our personal lives, we often find ourselves battling alone. We create these narratives where the entire focus of the story is on our own individual entity.
“I’m not able to live life the way I want”
“I’ve failed myself”
“I’m misunderstood”
As long as our mind is consumed by such self centered thoughts, we suffer. And we cause more suffering to other in return.
What life are you living?
For the vast majority, our biggest problem isn't what we think it is. No, it is not about our career, our failures or fears. It is the inability to see our lives through the right perspective instead.
Just think about it. It could purely be a matter of luck that nature doesn't have you down on your knees right now.

How to Find Purpose and Make Your Mark at Work
For the first few years in my career, I was completely lost. I had no passion. My career didn't align with my purpose, my values. I stood for nothing. My job paid the bills. That was the only driver!
Then something changed.

Struggling with consistency
I’ve been consistently inconsistent.
I lose my sense of purpose. I stop believing that I can make a difference. That what I am doing is important.
I keep thinking I’ll get back at it.. one day. But that day never comes.

Diversity ≠ Inclusion
Leaders don’t just need to act unbiased; they need to appear unbiased as well.
No amount of jargon about diversity and inclusion will ever lead to anything good unless we’re prepared to see through our own behaviors.

You are a Gladiator!
The world has generally become a very fake place. People hide their bigoted ideas behind their politically correct narratives. They support you because they need you. It’s all a business. A business of transactional relationships. Authenticity is a rare trait. And so is compassion. You may spend a life time doing good but it takes one mistake to erase it all.

Leading Through the Unknown
It is far more important to know how to “effectively” deal with situations we don’t understand than those we do.

Strength is Built in the Dark
I remember the night my son was born.
It was around mid night when water broke. I was reviewing financial statements at the time.
Bringing work home was a regular thing for me back then.

Breaking Free from Workaholism
The reality is my ambition had become my addiction. I was being selfish. I was working late by choice; even when it wasn't required. Work was my comfort zone. I didn't want to step out of it.
