On Conflict Resolutions

Building bridges of understanding 

Listen first. Give your opponents a chance to talk. Let them finish. Do not resist, defend or debate. This only raises barriers. Try to build bridges of understanding”. Dale Carnegie

Have you managed and resolved conflicts in virtual teams? If so, you will agree on how much communication matters in building bridges of understanding.

On Virtual Conflict Resolutions

Conflicts and its resolution are part of teams dynamics. An empathic approach to that is inclusive, non-judgemental, proactive  and  open to establishing safe discussion spaces creates positive outcomes in virtual scenarios.

In virtual team management  scenario, it is important to define and understand what matters to each person or team to find the path forward. Creating a mutual connection virtually  bridges over misunderstanding, encourages trust and strengthens relationships, leading to positive communication.

Being objective, mindful and  awareof unconscious biases that influence perception helps create a roadmap towards resolutions.

What are your challenges in managing virtual conflicts?

How do you resolve them? Do  share your perspectives.

Are you a workaholic?

If you let work bleed into your  night
You will find yourself racing with time
Like a hamster on a wheel
Churning in the loop of your own doing .

Share

The way you move,

The way you write

The way you dance

The way you talk

The way you live

Share much about you

Express without fear

It’s good for you.

Remember…

Sharing at times can make you vulnerable

But it can open you up to the strength within.

Self Healing

Head to toe

Toe to head

Breathe it out

Let it go..

Heal overwhelm

Heal overthinking

Heal your heart

Heal yourself

In the mixed bag of lides emotions

Some get felt a little too deeply

Embedding  itself into the psyche.

And affecting thoughts & actions

Emotions too need release

Unshackle to let go and free up

Cut the cord of emotions

Before they overwhelm you.

Find some time to breathe it out

To process and reflect & let go

To exhale the unwanted emotions.

And heal your heart .

Feeling peaceful

What makes me feel peaceful ?

Just spending time with our little furball combing his long coat  every other day makes me feel peaceful.
A little moment every now and then writing my thoughts  down feels peaceful
Spending time alone witnessing the stillness of the breath or practicing Qi Gong in the garden with green trees  for company  makes me feel peaceful.

Meditative moments  especially  at home in front a Buddha statue makes me feel peaceful.

Painting and dancing  without an agenda, on my own, whenever  I  wish to, makes me feel peaceful.

But most of all…
Living  in the now, without  too many expectations  makes me peaceful ✌️

What makes you feel peaceful?

Heart matters

The same heart that loves

Hurts some day

The same heart that hurts

Heals some day

The heart is extremely versatile

Capable of being adaptable

Beyond our fears and doubts

Capable of love and hate

And all the shades in between.

From going green with envy

To blossoming  like red roses…

Heart beats on its own tune

Take care of the heart

Feed it well

Stay happy and healthy

In good faith and trust.

For life is in the heartbeat.

Perfect imperfections

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.

What are your thoughts?

Circles of Compassion

21815k

A Painting by Savvy Raj

Titled: Transcendence http://www.savvyraj.com

Compassion is a  gentle inclusive yet so very powered by its infinite expansiveness. Surrounding the self with compassion circles is a duty to your own soul rather than a selfish act. In a world that is apparently getting overly self-obsessed, conscious compassionate thoughts within will become gradually embedded in the core structure of the being and what is powered from a strong core radiates outwards with the magnitude of faith and strength. Therein lies the success of steering towards peace & humanity through positively uplifting thoughts.

  Every compassionate thought that is then spread outwards, will have the strength of its own circles of trust in the boundless infinity of love. Our world needs this in every moment more than we can even imagine. Harness the energies of Compassion that hugs, heals and helps humanise humans.

We are equipped by nature to give and share more than what we perceive we have, just like the abundance of nature our being is infinite in its potential.And in every compassionate share,  there is greater regeneration and replenishment. With a deeper integration of compassionate reflections there occurs a transcendence towards universal empathy.

Connect yourself in this chain of compassionate circles and care to reach out from your core outward. .Trust enough to let go care to remember that we are all dancing beings in an exquisite circle of love and light beyond matter. All is well in the lightness of being. Let the connectedness in compassion dance from and through you !

Shine on …

Spirit of Sports

Winning at the Paralympics is no mean feat.  I wonder why it gets second hand treatment and less attention in media compared to Olympics. Came across this news  about a gold in mens badminton, it’s a proud moment for India no doubt.

And am in appreciation for the perseverance of these spirited warriors  of sportsmanship.  A testement to what the body achieves  when the mind believes.  May the spirit of sports shine through

Hope there is more support for every sport and sportsmen and here’s to celebrating them and  their unwavering dedication to touch the pinnacle of success no matter the odds.

With much hope on the anvil this year India has sent its largest contingent to compared to Tokyo 2020  where India found much success

And today I read…

India Shatters Its All-Time Paralympics Record, Medal Tally Swells To 20 https://sports.ndtv.com/paralympic-games-2024/india-shatters-its-all-time-paralympics-record-medal-tally-swells-to-20-6484764

Isn’t it high time to celebrate sports without discrimination across the world. What say?

Wisdom of Stars

Every night sky

Infinite stars twinkle

There is wisdom in their light

‘To shine from wherever you are’

Each star emits their own starlight

Without trying to outshine others

Together they fill up the night sky

With the wonders of a starry night.

Find Yourself

Be so engaged with your life that you take all of you in whatever you do!

Find yourself!

How involved are you in life?

In your passion?

In your engagement?

In your purpose?

In your life’s moments?

What is it that makes you go on

Taking all of you

Into whatever you do?

Perhaps…

You have an answer within

You are already on your path!

Creating anything worth having

Can take all of you

To be involved to be engaged

With a purpose that drives you…

Beyond yourself!

And you find yourself!

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.
