End of Year Self Reflection!



This week I saw a post shared by one of my friends, Dr. Glenn where he shared that 'When We are too Busy to Reflect, that's exactly When We Need To.' He shares in his post that Reflection can be a course corrector, validate our current trajectory, or be the catalyst for a whole new direction. The year 2021 is coming to a close and I believe it's time for all of us to do Self Reflection. I feel personal that this Year 2021 was a Year of Transition in a Big Way. The crisis that started last year continued and forced all of us to change in many ways. It's time for us to look inwards at what we did right, where we need to improve and what will like to do both Personally & Professionally in the Year 2022. Reflecting on what we took from 2021 is the best way we can prepare to make the Year 2022 even better.

'Adopting Reflection as a core practice leads to better decision making, greater resilience in the face of change, and focused momentum to achieve the goals most important to you.'~ Dr. Glenn.

I will like to share my Perspective while I did Self Reflection on the professional front. Our Startup Jeevitam got into a high growth trajectory this year. We tried to help as many vulnerable segments and entry-level work-seekers find sustainable livelihood in collaboration with Government, Industry, & Philanthropy world. We will be striving to do Home Delivery of Livelihood for All in the Year 2022. Externally, I saw the entire Workforce across the World in Transition with Technology acting as a Big Enabler. The world is now becoming one Marketplace, Talent is now a Global Resource. I believe, Earlier We Lived Where We Worked, Now We Want To Work Where We Live.
While doing Self Reflection on the Personal front, I feel the following five key takeaways are relevant: First, Learning has been a continuous process for me, however, it became more profound this year. Second, Working From Home/Anywhere became a reality for me. I now manage most of my Life remotely, Hybrid is the New Normal. Third, I tried to Over Communicate as much with as many. It became more important because the transition was happening from Physical World to Digital World. Fourth, Collaborated with as many entities & individuals across India and Overseas. I believe we need to work together to Solve Big Problems. Fifth, Asked for Help Whenever Wherever required and Helped as many as much could possibly do. Empathy became part of my life. I believe 2021 just went as it came, we all were constantly on the Move. I will be doing more Self Reflection from time to time in the coming year as it's important for Growth. Wishing Everyone a Very Happy & Prosperous New Year 2022.
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...
