Do you ever feel confused? Pulled in so many directions at one time that you cannot figure out what you are interested in or how it all could possibly fit together?
Underneath the indifference and confusion, there is still a voice saying, “There has to be more than this!”
There is.
The great news is that it DOES all fit together, because YOU fit together. You would not be the you that you are without all the fabulous bits that come together into the delightfully human you are.
for eg :
Do you dream of being on stage?
• Writing a bestselling novel?
• Producing a life-changing film?
• Changing the way people think about their spirituality?
See, you were designed this way. You have a purpose and a plan and your soul signed you up for ALL the challenges and opportunities you are experiencing.
Your soul knows what it knows. You would not be called to it if you did not have it in you. If you are called to it, it is part of your purpose! So what are you waiting for ?
My perspectives on Following your Passion and Purpose
Leadership lessons can be learn from any sports field – especially cricket!
As an Executive Coach what I learnt from Rahul’s leadership and what are some of the successful attributes of a leader .We pick the attributes of whom we relate and connect to. There’s always something to learn or unlearn.
Rahul Dravid (Leader , Cricketer , former captain ) and myself on the right
This wisdom comes from a learning circle group run by Anil Santhapuri where we triggered some beautiful conversations around coaching and sports and there was an avalanche of pictures and memories shared by the group members !
These are some of the cherished autographs in life 😊
Did you know I used to be the vice captain of girls cricket in Godrej Hillside Staff quarters colony ? This was way back in 1980’s.When girls cricket wasn’t that popular yet.
I learnt to play cricket naturally and we used to play weekend matches and celebrate those winning . Moments as a group of teenagers back then ! We were a strong set of players!
It used to be Godrej Boyce v/s Soaps girls cricket matches and very competitive and gripping moments for audiences 🙂
We can learn a lot of lessons in life and at work from cricket !
Later in life , I bumped into several cricket players and it was a chance of opportunity and luck coming together!
Feels blessed and my heart is pouring with gratitude 💕💕 for these moments with Rahul Dravid!
If you are wondering whose autograph this is – none other than the legendary captain and leader commonly known as “The Wall “ – Rahul Dravid.
But why did I bring this up today as an executive coach ?
Because as an Executive and Life wellness coach , I look back and admire some of the traits these people have in them.
I always ask myself what is it that I can learn even without interacting with them? They have seen failures , leadership , success , fame and money , disappointments , regrets !
Does life spare them because they are celebrities ?! No way !
But their achievements and performance and results was evidence as it reflected their “true” potential .
Just having Potential won’t be sufficient. When “Potentiality” meets action that often leads to Results & outcomes for oneself and for the society,then self actualization is attained”
Ranjini Rao
The one who knows to handle it all and be humble and grounded are the ones I admire !
So thank you Rahul Dravid for “being” you !
What did you learn from your role model in sports or any other field ?
Humility
Grit
Courage
Authenticity
Silence is powerful ( while interacting with him on video shoots for IBM software group events .) I even remember prompting him to retake a video because he didn’t say “I’ll be there at Software Universe , see you there!” I made him do it again and he willingly agreed . 😁
Never display arrogance
Prove your worth in your game on the field and improve the performance of the players and team’s excellence
Focus your energies and frustration to drive excellence not tangled into Politics,Power and Authority
But I also acknowledge that I was true to my role as a digital marketing presence leader for getting the best out of what was required for audiences to relate to Dravid!
The Best version of Yourself is built this way! Being better than you were before !
