Enlarge. Excel. Evolve.

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.

He has been associated with UNO projects (UN Global Compact) and reputed American publications like Fast Company and Huffington Post and has also app

Living with Deepest Passion Series-2 Passionately Social J  Guest Blog by Khushbu Pandya Relationships have always been close to my heart since childhood. Whether it is ingrained in me by my family or my cultural background, the truth is I have always valued relationships over any other thing in the world.

Two Perspectives on Personal Transformation 1 Two perspectives’ is a monthly column with two different perspectives from two different continents, genders and cultures on the same topic viz. Dr Janet Smith Warfield, Florida, USA & Dr Amit Nagpal, India Dr Janet Smith Warfield's Perspective What is personal transformation, and why would we want to experience it? Personal transformation is like looking at an optical illusion. The lines, shapes, and colors on the paper don’t change. What changes is how our minds shape what is on the paper, the words we use to describe what we see, how we feel about what we see, and the actions we take as a result. The real world is the same way. Nothing out there changes. 2 What changes is the way our minds shape what is out there. Personal transformation is suddenly seeing the world through new eyes. Do we want to see a man’s face or do we want to see the word “Liar?” Which makes us feel better? Which makes

It's a way to inject pauses in your busy day to reflect a little on what you want to change & improve in your life. It's like 'On-demand Inspiration'!

Living with Deepest Passion Series-1 Guest Blog by Tom Grimshaw I saw a quote on Facebook this morning: " No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible ." I commented, " Wow! Doesn't this just lay responsibility at each of us feet for the whole of everything? We can be part of the avalanche of people who do nothing. We can be part of the small group of people who do the wrong thing. Or we can be part of the growing group of people who change the world for the better, one person at a time. Isn't that an exciting prospect? Or did I just get up on the right side of the bed and do a workout so I feel good ?" Today I want to do three things for you that will help you take a zillion percent more responsibility for your life than you have probably been taught to do. I want to clear some weeds from the garden of your mind. I want to show you how to plough and fertilise the ground and plant a crop. Then I wan
