Every life is unique and a life coach needs to keep ideating and integrating approaches and interventions that make way to transformative changes. It can challenge the very best.
To thrive as a life coach and be effective it is necessary…
Approachability : To be approachable and open to feedback, which helps to foster trust and respect within the clients

As a dancer, I often use my dance education and experiences by associating concepts and find it helps me understand and evolve in the many life challenges and relate to the changing world.
In a world where almost everyone is interfacing with ChatGPT and AI and finding new and improved ways of prompting for application of technology for every day use, I find some relevant associations here with partner dancing and technology.
Dancing & Prompting has a lot in common A dance with a partner is an action and response More than a reaction. Likewise in today’s world every day is a dance with AI and our prompts are nothing but inputs towards an intelligent response than just a reaction. The better the input the better the output. Here I want to share a few thoughts for starters Dancing with a partner is about being in tandem, one leading the way and one following without anticipation Likewise prompting is about giving clear directions without ambiguity. To dance is to set and hold the frame In a good prompt setting the context and format helps to streamline the output.
In a dance the music sets the movements of the dance… And in a prompt sharing the example of what it feels like helps clearer and relevant output.
In a dance a leader can evaluate as you go which steps will work with which partner. Assessing the dance space available helps in evaluating the flow. For there are no second moves… Whatever you do decides the dance flow… And you are free to improvise your self as you go along
Likewise in prompts evaluation helps check what is working and tweaking it gives better quality output.
When a dancer is a professional Dancing a single step may feel fluid but in breaking down the steps it’s easier to understand the flow. In prompting dividing the steps well into multiple steps connected to a certain goal will give desired results.
Be it a dance with partner or with words for AI when you have a clear intention and purpose and are able to communicate what you want and where you want to reach, in easily understable and suitable way not only will you reach your destination You will enjoy the journey!
What do you think you deserve? The answer paves the way To bring it to your life As you intend You believe As you believe You intend You manifest your intentions The universe gives you, As you think and intend, Your thoughts matter Believe well. Think well intend well For it matters more than you know.
That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love. William Wordsworth
On Giving
Give the good you have Every time before the ask Consciously consistently Every time you do You create space within For more good to find its way in
In reality Giving from all of you Is much easier done than said For all you need is to be you Giving with all your heart Making it a regular practice Sensing true freedom in spirit Aligning you with the Universe A little more in every deed.
Creating anything Requires trustfulness Needs effort and focus And ability to adapt A willingness to attempt Acceptance of errors And perseverance to go on To the shifting perspectives In creative associations Adding curiousity of a child Of awe, wonder & joy.
What makes a job well done ? What makes excellence a standard? What makes one stand out a cut above the rest ? What is aesthetics after all? What differentiates the good better and the best?
All is a matter of approach in every field of life. A shift in the perspectives brings home the amazing solutions. An approach that is creatively expansive than confounding, opens a box of possibilities .
We are all equipped to reach out into our own creative potential by just empowering ourselves with techniques of approaching a situation at hand.
Every one of us is endowed with the potential to develop our artistic abilities and approach with a creative eye.
It’s a matter of putting the principles into practise and taking that giant leap of faith.
What is your attitude & approach to life today?
What are you going to create for yourself in this now?
Some times life comes to a still. That may be be Him testing will.
When we are low, When we feel let down, When we feel desperate, when we feel alone, when we feel all doors are closed, When life seems to have no meaning, Never loose hope.
The master plan of Nature, Is beyond our cognition. The way will open up, In any form, any time. All we need is hope n faith. Patience n perceverance. The effort will pay off. For He knows the right time and the right way. Cos that’s His Master plan.
Sharing this message of hope penned by my mother Anjana as a testement of faith and trust in the divinity providence.
