Perfection is never the inspiration for nothing is perfect always.
Acknowledging ones imperfections & managing it with grace is true inspiration.
The need for perfection creates undue pressure. Being able to work on the journey without undue pressure can be joyful journey.

On Coaches & Coaching
At times just when a coach knows it’s progress the client wants to give up.
They may feel the changes are not enough or there may be other personal factors that may be inhibiting their success. It is important to acknowledge their emotions at the moment and celebrate small wins precisely showing how far they have come. As a coach being empathic & encouraging while being flexible and adaptable as you adjust strategies for the way forward aids and facilitates progress.
Often clients face doubt and overwhelm at some point or the other. It is important then to remind them of their why and guide them to stay on course.
Your thoughts are welcome.

Sit down with your feelings
Like a good friend
Listen to it to understand
What it conveys to you
It works out for you.
Your emotions are not your enemy
They are your vent
They are your support systems
For the body to feel at ease
Be a good friend to you
And your emotions will thank you
As you thank them.

The wisdom for a lifetime
Bloom from wherever you are.

I wrote this poem back in time after an unexpected opportunity to travel set me off across exploring unforgettable places and spaces on my own.
Yesterday as I was conversing with one of my earlier dance student and friend now, he somehow reminded me of this poem again , as he has been traveling the length and breadth of India on a bike, covering over 80% of India.
While I wait to see his photo shares and hear more from him about his experience in the journey.
Thought of sharing my verses again.
Travel On
If you are given an opportunity to take a journey
Take it, for you meet many versions of you.
Along the road.
Some you cherish, some cherish you.
Some that change you and some that you change.
Fear not the travel or the traveling…
For one thing is certain
You come away enriched and wiser in every journey.
Travel to liberate yourself
From self assumed notions
To see the light on the other side
There is much to unlearn and unbox
As you travel yield in to the insights
Travel every once in a while if opportunity arises,
Take the chance,
You are richer in your explorations much as your experiences.
Travel on …

Trustful Mentorship
The dynamics of mentor mentee relationship is one of trust and confidence.
Building trustful mentorship requires genuine love to help guide people for the better.
Besides the required skills and expertise, mentors having an inclusive, expansive and holistic approach while helping unique pathways for clients, adds to their repertoire to create trustful mentorship .
Clarity and integrity in communication & behaviour , excellent interpersonal skills and empathic attitude add value beyond the experience and expertise of the mentors.
It is important to acknowledge the influence a mentor can have on the mentees decisions be it at work or personal life.
Hence, a good understanding of ethics while handling conflicting opinions biases, & emotional triggers helps empower the mentee than exploit them.
After all, a mentor is someone who guides advice and supports along the way…

Acknowledge…
Betwixt and between
The you & I,
The us and the we,
Is a ocean of multiverses.
A tapestry of metaverses Springing into existence
Creating connection
Beyond compare
Ingenious innovation
Reaching beyond the known
Forging ahead dimensions
Unfolding technology
With palpable sensations
Creating new possibilities
Exploring potential
Understanding elements
Of space, time and distance
Challenging norms
Quantifying needs & wants
Finding solutions
In a changing world
Simplifying complexities
In the realms of life & living.
Yet as this booming bubbles
Is it a catalyst of changes?
Some sensational and brilliant
Some scary & confounding.
Simply know it’s on its way
And is here to stay
As our world will redefine
Life beyond existence…
Accept…
There is bound to be a boom
Colloidal chaos & confusion
In chasing an unreal world
And finding hope to live on
In the very illusions in making.
Know…
Every thing life appears now
Is a momentary phenomenon.
Of perceptions that deliver
The solutions for life in the soul.

Wake up from slumber
To a brand new start.
Know within you is a power
Waiting to unfold
Let the pathway manifest
To an empowering you.
Evolve as you awaken.

Your body adapts to your kind of environment
Evolving in the journey of life
Every human being changes.

Balancing power play
In a group setting as a life coach it is important to balance power dynamics.
It is important to create a space of mutual respect and understanding.
Being inclusive creates an expansion of thoughts and ideas in openness tolerance and acceptance of new possibilities.
In a group setting it is important to hold space by balancing participation through inclusive ways like encouragement appreciation and rewarding contributions. This ensures the power dynamics are kept in check by empathic approach and moderation by allowing space for all to speak up, so as to prevent lopsided conversations.
Have you had any such experience as a team member ?
Do share your experiences of power dynamics at play in group setting.

Trust & Idea sharing
Building trust creates a rapport for greater communication.
Besides listening actively, addressing any issues and finding resolutions together immediately builds trust in a team. Being authentically approachable adds to the trust. Creating a transparent process and protocols for idea sharing helps. Showing appreciation for the ideas generated brings forth confidence to share more. Most importantly, giving credit where it is due by acknowledgements fosters trustful teams. Creating a responsive, cohesive and collaborative team requires transperncy in purpose.
