Click here to add this blog to your feed (subscribe to Blog) And One Fine Day-The Power of Storytelling I decided to conduct a Story Blogathon in May 2013 to demonstrate the power of storytelling in general and storytelling for personal branding in particular. The stories received were highly inspiring, shared the hearts of the contributors and I felt the need to compile them into an e-book. 20 entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs from across the world, share their stories of struggles and victories, how they learnt an important lesson of life or how they used social media and personal branding for business/career growth.  The Power of Storytelling Recently I was asked to introduce myself at an event and I told, “As a child I was fond of storytelling and as a student, I was passionate about branding. And one fine day, I realised that storytelling is the most powerful branding tool, be it people, products or companies.” OMG, even while introducing myself, I was te...

And he made the right choice, which made him what he is today.   When I was in high school, I experienced a devastating accident. I was working on a lawn crew and I cut my foot severely with a lawn mower. Six days in the hospital and ten hours of surgery later, I was told by an award-winning, internationally-renowned surgeon that I would never play football again—a passion of mine at the time—and that I would be lucky to walk again without limping. I wept with grief and remorse. At age 17, what was I to do now?  The year was 1977 and in those days lawn mowers did not have many of the safety features they have today. Perhaps I co...

Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam* Interview series (Global Leaders who have Enlarged, Excelled and Evolved into Global Personal Brands) Dr Amit Nagpal-Tell us about your leadership retreats aimed at creativity, innovation, balance and transformation. John Murphy -I offer a variety of leadership workshops, ranging from 1-5 days. These experiential events teach people how to empower and free themselves from self-sabotaging mental and emotional energetic constraints. They aim to help people transcend fear-based ego thinking, scarcity mentality and victim-consciousness. As a result, participants tap into more of their true potential. Creativity and innovation are sparked when we learn to “let go” and adapt a more playful, spirited energy. Healthy balance is restored when we say goodbye to the emotional and mental baggage weighing us down. The process of enlightenment is enhanced when we learn to let go of fear, stress, anxiety, doubt, and disbelief. The techniques I teach and the exercise...

( Dr Karan Singh, Indian Parliamentarian, Statesman & renowned Thinker releasing the book at India International Centre, New Delhi. Others include-left to right; Raja Choudhury, Renowned Filmmaker, Dr Amit Nagpal, Author and Sh Satpalji Maharaj, Indian MP) Do we need a little more JOY in our lives? I think all of us are going to say a loud YES. Background Life has unbounded possibilities and jubilation comes in many sizes and guises. Happiness is all about attitude, attitude of finding joy in small things and small wonders of nature. Some of the biggest sources of happiness like watching the sea, falling in love, holding a baby in your arms and so on come absolutely free.  The book was conceptualized in a brainstorming session with a friend (Ashish Bhagwat) and  is designed to be a holistic guide to living joyfully. It is not only a life manual in some ways but also intends to create a paradigm shift in our attitude towards happi...

Patience is a form of peace, the very result we so often seek but struggle finding. When we are patient, we are still. We are at rest. We are resting in peace – a term we might want to use more often with people who are actually alive in spirit. Patience is a virtue. It is a gift we give ourselves and one another. It is abundant and infinite. There is no limit to patience. It puts us in touch with the eternal now, the endless moments of truth. How often do you hear someone say they do not have time to do certain things that are healthy and productive, like reading enlightening books, listening to inspirational music, looking at illuminating works of art, exercising, meditating, relaxing, or simply enjoying the moment? What better time to do some of these things than when we might otherwise be practicing impatience? Patience is a healthy state of mind, a wise alternative. Impatience is not. It has nothing to do with the physical body. It is purely a state of mind, a matter of perspecti...

When people face change, there is often a tendency to resist. Why is this? What is it about change that people resist? Or is it really “change” that we resist at all? Could it be something else? After all, people do not resist a pay increase? Nor do people resist changing clothes, changing menus, changing jobs or changing lifestyles. We tend to vote for change at the polls. Nearly every candidate runs a campaign focusing on change. We change our minds and we change our moods, often daily and without effort. In fact, our bodies are designed for change, effortlessly. Nature is all about change. Do you think grass has to try to grow green? So if it is not change that we resist, what is it? The answer is deceivingly simple; it is a negative “perception” of change, held in mind and driven by a fearful ego. If we see the change as negative or overly disruptive, we tend to resist. If we see it as positive, we tend to accept it. This is a powerful and significant force. Our perception influenc...

The Ring of Inner Peace How long has it been since you held a negative thought or responded in a critical way? Think carefully. Consider all situations: a traffic jam, a slow computer, an unfriendly neighbor, a demeaning boss, a loss of money, an excessive bill, an ache or pain. Do you find that you experience criticism and judgment frequently? Do certain people and situations tend to annoy you? Are you someone who gets agitated and stressed often? We all have “tests” like these to pass, sometimes daily and frequently hidden in disguise. It is one of the great wonders of life as spiritual beings in human form, fearless souls bound by fearful, negative ego thinking and doubt. As human beings, we feel anxiety and stress when we fear the future and we feel grief, guilt and remorse when we hold thoughts of doubt or regret about the past. These thoughts of fear and doubt aiming at a time other than the eternal now weigh us down and distract us, often manifesting into the very results we wis...
