Here are some short stories (and notes). Happy Storytelling. The Villains, the Heroes & the Human Story (A Note for my mass media friends) Humans are ruining the planet, humans are the biggest of villains and the corrupt hoarders, self-destructive villains to be precise who destroy their own habitat, blah blah blah blah.

Only humans only can discover a life purpose, only humans demonstrate overwhelming will power in spite of soul sapping challenges.....and (out of all this my friends), with sheer grit and determination, only humans emerge as the "Awe inspiring Heroes and Super heroes". Three cheers for the "human story". Read Full Post on LinkedIn

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 inspira tion 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...

I have always believed that we are all world class in some area (which I call as deepest passion) and Anastasia calls it our Global Niche.  In any case, the bigger the market we decide to target, the more focused we need to be in terms of target segment (or niche). Fundamentally I liked the idea of discovering our global niche, though I was already in the area of global personal branding for nearly two years. I had been running an interesting interview series on my Blog, “ Vasudhaiv Kutumkam ” or The World is one family. In the series I interviewed wide range of people who were contributing to globalization in real sense of the term-development of global mindset, cross cultural exposure (and respect for other cultures) and making honest attempts to become Global citizens. Nobody is foreign in the Global Village Long back I had come to know about CNN’s  policy of not using the ‘foreign’ word on its international channels. In fact Ted Turner, the founder of CNN had ...
