World is full of opportunities – opportunities for exposure, growth, new areas of work, learning, relaxation….
When faced with so many choices, our natural tendency is to grab as many as possible!
Right from our childhood, we have learnt never to miss an opportunity, who knows, we may never get it again.
We take up more projects, sign up for more courses, join professional bodies, agree to lead one more project.… all with a deep desire to learn, grow and become better..
There is only one challenge – we have finite time and energy.
We end up doing thousand different things, progressing a wee bit in each one of them. And wonder how we ended up on this ever-moving treadmill?
Instead of spreading thin by grabbing every single opportunity, we have another option – one that is oft ignored.
To carefully chose what we pick – say YES to opportunities that are aligned to our long-term goals, our dreams, our purpose, what we enjoy and most importantly ones that are going to make an impact!
At the outset, I would like to thank you for stopping by my Blog.
I believe that there is nothing right or wrong in this world. What’s right in this moment and context may be wrong in another moment and context. This belief has inspired me to name my blog ‘Perspectives’.
Perspectives is a platform for me to share my experiences, thoughts and perspectives on various subjects. You may have a different point of view. I look forward to hearing them, these are the triggers for rich and deep conversations.
On personal front, I live in Mumbai, India. I love to read; Somerset Maugham and Nevil Shute are my favorite authors. My favorite books are The Razor’s Edge, Mrs. Craddock, Chequer Board and Gone with the Wind. I am thankful to my father who inculcated the habit of reading in me early on.
I am also passionate about traveling, I have been to most parts of India and to several countries across the globe.
On professional front, I work in Human Resources function. Over two and half decades, I have worked across multiple industries and cultures. I focus on Leadership Development, Talent Management, Visioning and Culture, Large-scale change, Employee Listening & Engagement, Employee Well-being, Inclusive work culture, HR effectiveness, Behavior and Mind-set shifts through sustained interventions
