What does a blogger do? If I had a penny for every time I heard this, I’d be living in Maui and doing yoga on the beach and basking in the glory of Mother Nature’s sea turtles, humpback whales and spinner dolphins everyday, but you know what, I’d probably still be blogging!!!
Interacting Well Among Others
Here you will find all the posts about how best to interact and communicate with others in various social settings and how to have the best exchanges that are intentional and meaningful, how to influence the opinion of others and also how use your awesome skills to create the best experience when you find yourself among others.
Go ahead and enjoy a few of these articles – and when you leave a comment, true to my goal here, I shall delightfully interact with you in the replies.
You learn a thing or two in the span of a twelve-year career behind the corporate walls of a Fortune 500 company and today, while sunning in my balcony, I started thinking about all of the promising employees in Corporate America and Corporate Europe and Corporate Anywhere. Actually, that’s not entirely true. I started thinking [...]
We have been back from the funeral for a few days and we are only just now returning to normal routine. This week was disrupted by some very sad news. My husband’s grandmother departed this world in her sleep. She was slightly short of her 90th birthday. My impressions of the short time that I [...]
The most challenging part in returning home from an exhilarating event [insert your dream event here!] is what to do next? How do you take the sensory overload of information and inspiration and channel it to something useful, something original, something meaningful and valuable? How do you apply what you learned to your life? How [...]
What do you take home with you from a once in a lifetime experience? People’s faces? Smells and sounds of the place? Photographs you may have snapped? Goodies they may have given out at the event? Memories of great laughs and greater conversations yet? All of the above? Definitely all of the above plus one [...]
I went on a pilgrimage the first weekend of June 2011. A pilgrimage is generally defined as a journey in search of great moral or spiritual significance. It is often a path followed by devout and deeply religious people and I am, well, not religious but nonetheless, on a pilgrimage, I went.
For the last 3 weeks, I have focused on little else other than the upcoming speech at Blogworld. It was an honor to be accepted, after submitting this video proposal. As with all things, however, after the excitement calms down and the dust settles, you are left with real work to do and in this [...]
A labor of love has many hands and hearts at work. There may be one true leader for the effort but it is quite never without the support of at least a precious few others. My labor of love started over 4 months ago – with an idea. Ideas, I truly believe, are the beginning [...]
Collaboration does not just add up. It multiples and grows exponentially. Raam Dev asked 40 bloggers to share their Small Ways to Make a Big Difference. He created an incredible eBook in the span of 3 weeks from a café in Nepal. The words from this book have reached as far as one remote village [...]
Something new and exciting for you. Something gutsy and brave for me. Trying new things is exciting. It give you energy, motivates you all over again, helps you grow and stretch beyond your current limits and creates a sense of anticipation largely because the outcome is unknown and as a result, all the more exhilarating. [...]
How well do you handle your interactions with customer support? Yesterday, an AT&T rep of all people put me in my place. I was completely out of line when I said she was not doing anything to help me. She was. I was also wrong when I told her it’s nearly impossible to isolate an [...]
When a single word brings you to a dead stop in your tracks, when a quote resonates so deeply with your thoughts that time gently slows down around you, when a book speaks to you so strongly you want to devour it in one big bite, take it as a good sign! It means you [...]
What part of your world revolves around your relationships? For me, a significant part. Human relationships not only fascinate me, they also feed an insatiable desire for me to connect with my world. I can build relationships all day long, every day. I build relationships with anyone from any walk of life. I have built [...]
Awesome content every time. Original content with value for your readers. Perseverance and persistence. Consistency and authenticity. Those were the repeated messages from the best sessions I attended. Knowledge and information which addressed not just bloggers but writers, creators, artists, and communicators alike. If you are any one of these, this post is for you. [...]
