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.

He is currently Director & Professor, IIPS-Indore. He is a wonderful human...

He then shares his personal mission through a video. So, what's your Story?  Just recently I was at a networking event and someone approached me and asked, "So, what's your story?" I was expecting the standard, "So where you you work?" or "So what do you do?". But I now had the opportunity to communicate my story, my character, my why! How exciting!

I have been running a Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam (The World is a Family in Sanskrit ) Interview series on my Blog for past 2 years and have interviewed more than 50 people in the series from all parts of the world. It has given me a wonderful opportunity to interact with thought leaders, pioneers and other great professionals from across the world. These people have either emerged (or fast emerging) as Global Leaders and have Enlarged, Excelled and Evolved into Global Personal Brands too.
