Wither not yourself away
Weathering the storms
Every life finds itself
In the whirlpool of chaos.
And often unfortunately so.
Pick yourself up
Dust away the doubts
Don your best attitude
And look ahead
At a not so distant time
And trust in yourself
For storms precede the calm.
Sense the strength of spirit
Moving towards your purpose
Know every storm has one
Find yourself on your way
To fulfilling your soul purpose.

A life can be lived forward
And in every moment, easier
If there is less regret
And more acceptance.
It makes living life worth it .
For if you keep looking back
Revisiting memories
A little too often
You will perhaps also sense
The number of times
You didn’t do what you wanted
Saying maybe another day.
Reality is in realizing
This moment now…
Holds all you choose
To make of it.
It’s all embedded in it
Embody it in present
Live not in fear and worry
Seek comfort in past if you wish
But don’t dwell in it too long
Let the past be ,
For even if you want
You cannot hold the hands
Of times gone by ..
Time ticks on
So move with time.
Acknowledge it & regret less.
Savvy
Allow yourself spirit to emanate joy
Allow the body to feel its contentment
Allow the self to embody peace
Allow the heart to open itself to possibilities
Allow the self to move in space and sense the freedom it offers.
Just be and allow
Bouncing ball
Think of any organization, like a bouncing ball. No two moments are alike Change is order of things. In such moments the leaders at the top need all the support they can get from their team. And for that clarity in communication be it timely updates , to them & to the team is equally paramount.
When the ball bounces are extreme, it could be many factors, like the winds of change that’s affecting it. Let’s call it external forces be it political, economic,global changes and more…
No one can predict things to the T but if risks are part of the buisness, then leadership needs both resilience from the entire team and quick decision taking to keep the company ‘ball balancing’ afloat.
In times of internal instability from unexpected forces within the company, affecting the state of buisness the leaders need more than just attention to detail to bring the dissenting fragments and solve crisis .
It’s a given that even in stable times there is always going to be that bounce in the ball think of it as the pulse in the heartbeat. Just that the force and velocity is a little more manageable . Acknowledging it as a part of risk management makes it more realistic than procrastinating from planning for it.
Whatever be the force, the torque generated decides the nature of impact it has. Being prepared and building the resilience muscle and creating a strong srategic team in easier times, helps in times of crisis management.
Embracing the changes is about understanding the experiences of highs and lows as a part of the journey. And most of all seeing the setbacks as an opportunity to bounce back stronger again.

Between & betwixt spaces
Of pause and activity
In the thinking and doing
Overcome the challenges
Of the conflicts of being.
Move on from valleys of reactions
From impulsive actions
That stems from assumptions
Reach out in responsiveness
Being positively intentional
Leading to clarity
In the deeper listening.

The silent language of leadership.
Have you ever experienced how some people exude confidence in just their efforless presence?
It isnt just about the words you speaks but how you show up .
And if you can imagine how the body posture influences the way you move when in alignment you will sense how you exude a quiet confidence flowing in every step you take. Like dancers deportment,creating the art of presence. Quite akin to the silent language of leadership.
Here are a few insights on how deportment influences leadership.
More than 55% of communication is nonverbal and hence how you carry yourself speaks volumes without a word
Maintaining a good posture enhances confidence & authority thereby influences how others perceive leadership.
Composure & Presence
Dancers composure shapes their movements And while dance movement training builds poise it also enhances emotional intelligence & resilience all valuable traits for effective leadership.
Adaptability is Power
Whether in a dance or in leadership situations with quick decision taking & bouncing back in crisis the ability to move with fluidity & grace in changes that come with the challenges in time defines success.
Energy speaks louder than words
Leaders, like dancers, must be fully engaged aware of their space, their audience, their message.
Self Check-in
How are you breathing in this now? Is your breath calm or labored.?
What is your attitude reflecting ? Composure & confidence or Confusion and nervous hesitation.
Power of Alignment
How about if the next time you step into a room you become aware of your posture the way you are carrying yourself? And then intentionally align yourself.
After all, like dancing, leadership is consistent practice, not just a single performance.

Being a happy person
I have tided over
The challenges with a smile
Grateful for the dance in my life
I draw energy from movements
As they appear to move me
I unwind and unfurl
My hearts deepest feelings
In the flow of the moves
I sense the beauty of this now.
And I smile from the heart.

Love can be light
Love can be heavy
Such is the weight of love.
In one moment
Love spreads love
Love shares hope
In another moment
Love fills us with despair
Such is the irony
Of the weight of love.
And yet love is the way
For all of us…
Live life lovingly…

Creative poetry for the above image.
Born a raw stone
I am a pebble
A force of nature
Through the tumults of life
The highs & lows
Around the bend
Smoothening the spikes
Rounding the edges
Until the spirit shines through.
Savvy
It’s not just about your intelligence
It’s about your understanding
It’s not just about your skills
It’s about your application.
What matters …
Is not just in what you have
But in what you do with it
Savvy
To dance is to move with all of you.
To dance is to have hope in the living.
To dance is to feel the spirit of life in the movement.
To dance is to know the value of time.
To dance is to feel the rhythm in the beat.
To dance is to sense the subtlety of life.
To dance is to acknowledge the life in every moment.
I share a capture of one of the International Dance Research Congress, that I was honoured to have attended in Athens.
Today is celebrated as the International Day of Dance…
Yet everyday I am thankful… and deeply grateful to the art of dance in bringing positive difference to my life.
Thankful to dance in my life, & all the wonderful people I have been priveleged to meet, connect, learn & share my passion for dance… 🙏✨

Seeds of consciousness
We are all born with them
Love, and kindness
Care & compassion
Our feelings and emotions
Our heart shows the way
In our thoughts & our actions
It’s upto us , in our lives
To find them & nurture them.
Savvy
The seed bears wisdom untold
From humble beginnings
Emerges immense possibilities
What seems a non starter
Can be a gamechanger.
And yet…
Growth has many phases
In the course of its life
Through the ups & downs
The chaos gives way to clarity
From the immature to maturity
The tree stands tall
Embracing the changes .
The seed to a tree
Teaches the wisdom of patience,
As it bears fruits in time.
Savvy
Every minute is precious
Every now matters
Every moment is new
Make the most of it
Life is what you make of it.
Choose well.
And reap well in time.
Savvy
It’s not the words
But what we think
It’s not just the deeds
But how we do it
Our thoughts make us.
Or break us.
In every now.
Thoughts matter.
What do you think?
