On Mentoring

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 Accept Know

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.

Coaching Challenges

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.

Building Trust in teams

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.

Lead with empathy

Empathy  & Leadership

Empathic leaders find it easier to understand the challenges of their teams but they also need to be empathic to themselves to avoid burnout and manage their lives.

Stress Management for Leaders

If you are feeling stress beyond a level you can handle as a leader  you need to introspect.

There could be many factors that build up the stress often without your own knowing. It can happen to anyone after all we are only human. And it would be good to acknowledge the importance of work life balance and self care.

Are you biting more than you can chew? To manage work stress as a leader, while delegating work check, if you are delegating tasks with clarity to the team.

Are you approachable and exercising  patience in communication?

Are you checking if they have understood your requirements?

Are your mails, messages and your  attitude,  building people up?

Remember the way you chose to behave rubs off on people. While it’s only human to err  and there could be good & bad days, being  a leader  is a responsiblity. For you have the power to influence and impact lives. 

Likewise your actions  beliefs and behaviour can affect your own health.  Hence managing your own stressors empathically become paramount as a leader to get work done.

Every now and then tweaking your own approach, to the changing needs, being flexible and  adaptable helps you and your team towards reducing  work stress.

On guard

A barking dog seldom bites
A silent one has propensity.
Watch out for the signs
Too quiet or too willing…
Both are signs not to be ignored.

Who are very quiet and a little too willing to let you have your way should never be taken lightly.

For there is always more than what meets the eye.

Life is what you make of it!

The very fact you are reading this

May change your perspective

All of what you interact or sense

Shifts and alters meanings.

You, as a reader & observer

Have the power in you.

You, matter to the whole

What matters to you

Matters to the whole.

Create a beautiful you,

You create a beautiful whole…

Here is why…

The core of particle physics

The truths of sacred geometry

The essence of prayer

The  logics of yogic systems

The dynamics of integration

The beliefs of ancient wisdom.

The cosmic interconnects

Creation to destruction

Birth to regeneration

Order to disorder

Chaos to resurrection

Stillness & movements

Balance & harmony

Time , space & distance

All is a matter of energy.

The observer effects the observed.

All of life, the sun & the stars

The universe you are in

You are because they are

They are because you are.

Understand as an observer

You are playing a part

What you do with it

Is a choice in free will

The choice is with you.

On Respect & Inclusion

When you are in a position of influence especially as a coach, a trainer you are responsible to aid the development and building up of life. From the  life coaching perspective there are many humane standards that help reach the set goals.

As a coach, respect and inclusion  are significant  for the success of your coaching. It is important to  show  ‘Respect’ not only for individual  or team you are coaching by being unbiased and empathic of their abilities,  but also for your time and effort as well as respect for the reason and need for coaching .

As for inclusiveness, without it you cannot build rapport as a coach. Inclusion is also about being attentive and open minded of diverse perspectives and opinions.

Over the decades, coaching  individuals and groups as a Dance Educator & Trainer,and a Life Coach, I have had varied experiences of how being inclusive, empathic, open minded to listen and understand, sharing mutual respect has made a positive impact on the coaching process.

Both respect and inclusion can make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of those you coach.

What do you think? Do share.

Salute to Trees

Came across a beautiful tree in my walk  this morning…

Wondering of the lifetime experiences that trees live through

Of how many seasons it must have seen

Of how it must have survived through the storms

As well as enjoyed the beauty of springtines

Of the countless lives it could have generously sheltered

And continues to do so….

Strengthened by nature

Thriving in the surviving

Salute to the tree.
