Image
Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam* Interview series (Global Leaders who have Enlarged, Excelled and Evolved into Global Personal Brands) “The Universe has a perfect timing for everything. I got connected with Steve Brant long back (via a great Transleader Jennifer Sertl , President & Founder, Agility 3R) but we had little interaction. One day I came across an image (comfort vs magic zone) on his profile and it caught my attention. Then one day, I shared my Social Media and Global Social Trends presentation with him and Steve and I developed mutual admiration. Now the time had come for a chat. I began researching about Steve and was surely impressed by his academic credentials and achievements. Steve is an engineering graduate of Massachusetts and has received  management education from New York University's Stern School of Business. He has been associated with UNO projects (UN Global Compact) and reputed American publications like Fast Company and Huffington Post and has als...

Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam* Interview series (Global Leaders who have Enlarged, Excelled and Evolved into Global Personal Brands) Area of Thought Leadership -Life Mastery/Self-Mastery Tell us about your journey as a coach. I think my journey as a coach started when I was 5 years old & I arrived at the school gates for my first day of school. There was another first dayer waiting there with her mum. She looked at me, then looked at her mum, said I can go in now, took hold of my hand & in we went together. I continued to coach other children with their school work all through school. This is such a great question; it has me reflecting that the main theme of my journey has been joy. The sheer joy of seeing people begin to believe in themselves & of them coming into their own. Professionally, I began coaching about 20 years ago now in London, before anyone was using the term. We realized that we could use the same techniques that one of my colleagues was using wi...

Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam*  Interview series Global Leaders who have Enlarged, Excelled and Evolved  into Global Personal Brands Area of Thought Leadership- Global and Greatness Coaching Tell us something about your unique coaching style or greatness coaching. First of all, I would really like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk about this. The greatness coaching idea came a couple of years ago when I read a “great” book by Stephen R. Covey, The 8th habit, explaining how to shift from just effectiveness to greatness, that is, finding your “voice” and helping others to find their own voices, too. And this taking advantage of our body, mind, heart and spirit intelligences. I am also influenced by the neuroscience and the work of Howard Gardner, specially his five minds for the future: disciplinary, synthesizing, creating, respectful and ethical. Reformulating Mark Twain words: Do not be parted with your dreams and illusions for when you cease to live...
