The most significant challenges you’ve encountered in your life
The biggest challenge is self-transformation – The biggest barrier to cross is Self / Mindset. The way to overcome is Determination, Persistence & Faith in the future. It’s a struggle to compete with oneself & emerge better tomorrow than today.
lessons have you taken away from your professional career
Some are listed below:
- Deserve better to get more. Looking back every day, I need to be better than yesterday.
- Separate Issue from Person
- It is better to be Genuine than Correct – Authentic than Perfect
- Excellence happens when you become One with the Cause (non-duality)
- If you need better Fruits, you need to work at the Roots
- Invest in Understanding people – not in Transforming them
- The most precious thing to protect is your Sanity. Develop independent thinking & be true to your convictions
What do you view as the most significant challenge for brands?
Biggest challenges to Brands overall – not just in digital space:
- How to remain relevant to customer needs? This can happen when you invest in understanding & owning customers, not your products
- How to meaningfully different for the customer to pick you ahead & instead of competition? This can happen when you become custodian of customer interest
Your Services
Most of us are underleveraged, not undertalented. Hence it is not a Talent deficit, but an Application deficit.
Application deficit arises out of Perspective deficit. How we think / our outlook/worldview/ approach to work & life; decides what we do & achieve
To address the above challenge, I work at the Source – Your Mind. I work on the right mind orientation. I help people to think/think differently to find their own solutions to their problems; thus, helping them to succeed professionally & feel fulfilled, personally.
Could you share any insights for individuals aspiring to become entrepreneurs or chief officers?
- Be decisive – don’t be a Pendulum
- Avoid Haste – it is Speed that matters in the long term
- You are the Sun of your Solar system – Derive & drive your power from inside
