The bouncing ball

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.

Valley of Reactivity

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.

Power of Poise

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.

Smiles from the heart

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.

As it flows

It’s no surprise

Words flow as I write

As if awaiting me to simply begin

It’s a natural way

That I express my emotions

Through verses in the flow

All at once as if in a rush

In one sitting

And I don’t rearrange it

I chose not to change it

For it is my truth

As it came to me.

As it’s meant to be.

Poetry  is personal

Raw poetry is a piece of  ones soul

Too many edits to perfect it

And you have something

That somehow loses track

Of its own purpose.

What is dancing to you?

Dancing to me

Is being in love with life

In every moment there is a dance

Of joy waiting to be found.

Weight of love

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…

A pebble of love

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.

What matters?

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

Thankful for Dance

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

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.

Seeding Wisdom

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.

Choose  well.

And reap well in time.

Thoughts matter

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?

Living in rhythm

Our body is a field of energy

Feed it well

Move with the  energy

Make a choice

Eat with joy

With a purpose

To be aligned

To your best self.

Tune in to trust your being

And you will find yourself

Living in rhythm.
