Nurturing & Building Relationships!


The ongoing crisis has reshaped our personal & professional relationships in unprecedented ways, forcing us to live closer together with some people and further apart from others. Life in lockdown has necessitated close, constant contact with our families and partners, but social distancing measures have isolated us from our friends, client relationships, and wider communities. It has also changed the nature of work for everyone. For a person like me who is used to being out and about connecting with people and building relationships, almost everything about the way I work has changed. More than ever we all need to talk more, listen more and care for each other, building on what brought us together and what we want to see in the future.

The ongoing crisis is affecting our lives, so we need to adopt new ways to manage and nurture our personal & professional relationships, as they are massively important for getting us through this difficult time. Since the onset of the crisis, I realized early that it was important to build a routine for keeping in touch with my Business Partners, Clients, Friends & others as this helped in maintaining my relationship with them. Besides, I did find it helpful to talk to family, friends, and colleagues about how they were feeling as in doing so I ended up providing support to them, wherever required. Although, I still yearn for those personal meetings with friends & relatives, one to one strategic discussions with My Mentor & Partner over food, Events & Seminars.

Serving clients today and staying in touch with family & friends requires creativity and innovation. It’s about being resourceful in how and when we connect with them because we all want to feel connected right now. We at Jeevitam have been conducting weekly Webinars to build new relationships & manage existing relationships. In some ways, this sudden worldwide experiment might be a harbinger of positive change, at least when it comes to what we expect or need from our relationships. We all want to build back our lives and nurture & build our relationships in a more satisfying way,’ and I strongly believe maybe there’s an opportunity for that now.

Happy Sunday!! Keep Moving & Smiling!!🏃🏽😊

Be Authentic, Do Uncomfortable Work And Surrender To The Outcome!

This week I saw this Ted Talk about the above. I could relate to it so much to my Journey. Authenticity for me is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s all about the choice to show up and be real, to be and to let out true selves be seen. It is also about being true to who we really are. Authenticity is more than speaking; Authenticity is also about doing. Every decision we make says something about who we are. Authenticity starts in the heart. If we are our authentic selves, we will have no competition. I believe Hard times arouse an instinctive desire in us to Be Authentic. As a part of our uneasiness towards change, we tend to resist anything that feels uncomfortable, scary, different and new. We tend to play small even, to resist being seen and evaluated. To resist the unknown. Being Uncomfortable brings engagement and change. Doing Uncomfortable work means we’re doing something that others were unlikely to do because they’re hiding out in their comfort zo...

Let Our Strengths Become Our Unstoppable Advantage

Image
Activate to view larger image, Summary: True competitive advantage comes not from trying to be perfect at everything, but from doubling down on our unique strengths until they become unstoppable advantage. When we focus on maximizing what we're naturally great at rather than fixing every weakness, we create unfair advantages that can overcome any competition. Key Takeaways: - Doubling down on our core strength can be more powerful than trying to be well-rounded in all areas - Confidence in leveraging our unique abilities often matters more than having multiple average skills - Success comes from maximizing strengths rather than minimizing weaknesses This week, I came across a fascinating article about Sania Mirza's "unfair advantage" that resonated deeply with my own experiences in business and life. The article described how Sania, despite criticism about her fitness and agility compared to other players, dominated matches through one devastating strength - her powe...
