Tending & Nurturing

Tending & nurturing

Are deeply intertwined

Birthed in care

Having immense possibilities

In seeding compassion.

Healing the spirit & soul

Have you ever wondered

What is it in your life

That needs tending & nurturing?

Cultivating purpose

Every time you spend

In cultivating purpose

In patience and passion

With a dedicated perseverance

You are inviting an earnestness

That helps you discover yourself

You are far more

Than you choose to believe

Or give yourself credit for.

As you find your purpose

You find yourself evolving

And closer you are to contentment

In living life lovingly every day.

Grateful

Hiroyuki Sanada once said, “There are those who want a swimming pool in the house, while those who have one barely use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a deep sense of loss, while others who hold them close often complain about them. Those who do not have a partner yearn for him, but those who have, sometimes do not value him. The hungry would give anything for a plate of food, while the well-fed complains about the taste. The one who doesn’t have a car dreams, while the one who has one is always looking for a better one. The key is to be grateful, look carefully at what we have and understand that somewhere, someone would give everything for what you already have and don’t appreciate.”

Truths & facades

There is much going on behind a smile or a tear

As much as there is behind an act of aggression or care.

Truths that lie just over the bend

Masked in a show of strength

A veil may cover the apparent

But the body never lies.

It leaves imprints of expression

In every moment of now .

Truths that cannot be shared

Truths that needs to be dared

The body wisdom takes over

To make it through

To the truths over the facades.

How to manage a difficult conversation?

In the course of my career over the years handling teams of various departments, people management  became my forte while experiencing many instances which needed agility in communication.

Here are few pointers…

If you can help it thoroughly prepare yourself  with research so that you are prepared to handle any objections well.

Try to choose when and where to have a difficult conversation.

Always start with a positive mindset and speak with concern without blaming .

Make sure you are clear about what you want to communicate.  And deliver your stance  clearly  without any ambiguity.

Speak in the right tone as per the situation.

Listen actively well to acknowledge  emotions and  understand so you can respond than react.

If there is too much tension or another impasse it is alright to pause, take a  short timely break to diffuse tension and then recoup

Be focussed on what you wish to communicate and steer the conversation if it veers off topic.

Be open to alternatives and  perspectives and see if you can  find common ground to stay flexible to foster collaboration.

Resolve issues find win win solutions & clear issues.

Do you remember  any instances of  difficult  conversations you have had? How did you manage it?
