 A Guest Post on Work/Life Balance by Rory Kelly Connor We hear a lot about work/life balance. Everyone seems to know what that means and has ideas about how to achieve it. Yet, we all continue to struggle with it. I'd like to take a look, for a moment, at how we have organized this as a concept, an ideal, the parts of which we want to place on two sides of a scale in an attempt to achieve an equal weight on both sides. Work on one side. Life on the other. Hmmm. Do we really want an equal amount of work on one side and life on the other?  This concept also suggests that work and life are two different, and separate, functions of our existence. Maybe this is true for you. Or maybe the work you do is core to who you are and what makes you feel alive, like breathing. Both situations have challenges attached to them and a need for healthy parameters that allow us enough time for rest, rejuvenation, and renewal. What is often misunderstood is that each person's nee...

Living Your Life On Purpose: Finding That Luster  by Rory Kelly Connor You hear it all the time. “I want to discover my life’s purpose.” Or “You were born with a purpose.” And “Your Soul has a mission.” You hear these things all the time because they are true. Whether you are a believer in a higher spiritual Universal force or not, everybody has a purpose in the interconnected network of beings on the planet. And that purpose is all in their perspective. For most of my life, I was certain I had a purpose, a reason for being born, a calling my Soul was longing to discover. It was one of those spiritual concepts I carried on a shelf in the closet of my mind, figuring that one day I would get around to figuring it out. In the meantime, life took over and carried me away. Years later, after many successful and sometimes agonizing years living by the world’s rules, I began a search for clarity and meaning, a deeper sense of myself and my truth. I uncovered a lo...

Japan and India; Personal Branding Across Two Cultures 'Japan and India' is a column on Personal Branding with two different angles from Peter Sterlacci of Japan  and Dr Amit Nagpal from India on the same topic.   November #1 Using Facebook for Professional Purposes Peter Sterlacci from Japan While Facebook was launched in Japan in 2008, it was not until the release of the movie “The Social Network” in early 2011 that the Japanese were more willing to try it out. Since then Japan has more than tripled its Facebook user base to around 5 million users, and the rate of growth continues to grow. The launch of a Japanese language "how to" site this past summer called Facebook Navi has also helped to persuade more Japanese to sign up. Yet, even with a potential of about 50 million active online users in the country, penetration in the online population is still low at around 5%. Why are Japanese more cautious about jumping...

"Blogging is like Sex. You can't fake it. You can't fake passion. You can't fake wanting to engage with public." Kevin Anderson.   In last week of December 2010, I started my Blog “The Joys of Teaching” and posted one article only in 2010. The series initially began with my experiences as a teacher. Later on I added some posts on life skills which I found lacking in few of my students. The Blog has 200 posts now, which make it an average of 20 Blogs per month (five per week including guest blogs). I became a teacher due to my passion for teaching and the blog only reflected my passion. For the first 3 months I wrote all the posts but connected extensively on Linkedin internationally. Slowly well known people from all corners of the world, started showing interest in submitting guest posts. I may have personally moved towards the joys of coaching and consulting but the blog shall always remain my first love, the joys of teaching. Then I started with a serie...
