The most precious thing in the life of a person is "Time". When you look back, you either have things well Done or ones you couldn't accomplish. Every day of life allows you to be a better person and do better. The better version of you is an outcome of the first step you take.  W hat is that "better version" of you would look like, and what would "He" say to today's version of you.  For many, the answer comes simple " Don't procrastinate ". As Brain Tracy mentions in his book " No Excuses ", there is nothing like "Someday I will do". The "Someday island" does not exist. Every day you have an OPTION to be SUCCESSFUL and HAPPY or DELAY and find an EXCUSE .  You can come out of this trap called Tomorrow and Someday. You can do it with an effortless habit. Build your every day " Success List " or " Progressive wins ".What you want to achieve by the end of the day write it as a...

Plan to take your manager \ team member on a date. How exciting it sounds! More often, I met people who are doing great at their work but always keep complaining about how they are not being taken care of and Judging his/her manager. The problem is not the organization or the manager.

The individuals are caught up into two situations Developing a negative opinion on the manager and not consider the work seriously - Which hurts him mo...

It could be a sales demo or a feature presentation, or a moment to inspire, Prime ministers speech everything needs it. Duration of it can be for 15 -18 mins, the impressions created can last for a lifetime. When someone delivers the talk, the audience should resonate with the passion that the speaker has and the content should raise the beats of their heart.

Do you pray? When do you pray? When was the last time you prayed? Do prayers have power? Do prayers have a magical touch? If you have said "Yes" then why don’t we pray every day? We pray on special occasions, festivals and significant days in life. Of all them, we often pray when we are in fear. Prayers induce a subconscious thought that we are being looked after by superpower who knows what you want. Prayers are associated with faith . When we have faith, we move forward with positive thoughts.  When we offer prayers with faith, it creates a flow of energy and registers a visual image of our wants.  It's not the religion or the god you offer the prayer, its ability to communicate your needs in solitude to the subconscious mind, which projects the image of your desire into the real world. Prayers detail out your problem statement. It creates an image of your fear and your desire to win over it. Subconsciously you train your mind to overcome the fear.  If you dou...

Any journey starts with hiring the right team. However, the term "Right" is not same for all. It varies from right skill sets, the right attitude, right payscale so on & so forth and undeniably everyone is "Right" in choosing their meaning for the  "Right."The "Right" may always not be required to be recruited from the market as I always believed the right ones are those who are groomed to be right within the organization. Because many times an employee has to work associated with the "Why" of the organization which is well built within the culture of the organization. But the process doesn't change.I see this choice of the right process takes three most simple and necessary steps : Have the right Job profile designed: The Choice for the right person starts with the first step you choose and the answer to the question As a recruiter do you know what you need from the person you hire ?
