And I could see the smiles all around

People want positive energy (or love) and are getting tired of everything else.

Interestingly when I spoke on “Spirituality & Personal Branding” at Ananda Spa in the Himalayas, CIOs took more interest in spirituality and less in reputation management. Surprisingly the three things which they liked most about my presentation were:-

 a) How meditation helps us in getting inspiration and how it can bring out inner greatness and passion?
b) The power of storytelling as a self-expression tool.
c) The humour (with a serious touch) in my presentation got a warm response. I said in the very beginning,

“Some inspiration comes from my friends,
some of it comes from divine.
Some inspiration comes from the inspiration (muse),
There is nothing I can claim to be mine.
Hence no copyright deserved.”
 And I could see the smiles all around. To add to the beautiful experience of Ananda, a CIO stood up and gave a standing ovation.

And words cannot express beyond a point. May the Universe bless us all!

An Uncomfortable Soul- A Short Story

Image
Once again she has started talking to herself. It’s her‘alone-time’ when thousands of thoughts are crossing her mind. All those questions that include ‘Why me?’and every situation that made her feel bad is flashing from the past.She has a bunch of people around her. Those people who have different mindsets, different goals, and different approach towards life.  May be she builds stronger bonds with lesser people. She is questioning herself, “Is it worth being here?”May be she doubts because,in this temporary world, she still believes in profound talks and eternal relationships. Not just her life revolves around building connections rather she believes in living them. People often perceive her as one with detached persona.But she is a human with reserved emotions who takes a while to truly open up.She hardly discusses her emotions except when she feels she has built a strong enough connection with a person. No doubt, socializing is a difficult task for her. An

How Introverts like Guy Kawasaki & Pete Cashmore are changing the rules of the game with Online Branding?

18th January, 2013 And how a book changed my life forever? Caution-Nobody is a complete extrovert or introvert. These are tendencies and we all are on different points of the scale. We have lived in a world which worships the ‘Extrovert’ and pushes the ‘Introvert’ to become an extrovert, to get success. As 'The New York Times' bestselling author Susan Cain says, “Introversion along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness and shyness is now a second class personality trait.” But many of us have not even realised the world has changed. The credit for this goes to Social Media (aka Facebook, Linkedin Twitter and others), which arrived around 2006. Social Media gives an opportunity to introverts to express themselves from the computer (later they can come out in the open to express their passions.) Sometime back, Raja Choudhury, well known Digital Filmmaker-Director & Founder, Universal Quest & C3CUBE Multimedia, recommended me to read The New York Time
