My Great Idea

It is n’t the mountains ahead to climb that wears you out; it is the pebble in your own shoe. – Muhammed Ali

 

Grateful for

The NOW, this very moment and to maximize this moment and the opportunity this precise moment provides. I also relate to NOW as No Opportunity Waits.

I am grateful for the shift in the perspective I have got for myself – which can put into 3 words.

KNOW – NOW – WOW (For a long time I was in domain of KNOW, which means knowledge for me was everything and I thought knowing precedes everything, The 2nd word NOW gave me the importance of applying what I know in the very moment(NOW). That I considered as my important shift, However the third shift that I have got is WOW, which means unless our own actions(not mere words) WOW the other person, the world is NOT transforming. However it can trigger a new cycle for the other person!

I am here for

Serving the society / Make a difference / Develop my NGO, Showcasing my work / talents, Developing my business, Mentoring / Sharing my knowledge / skills / experience / expertise, Learning new skills / talents / knowledge

Detailed Bio

On-going CHANGE and ensuing TRANSITION MANAGEMENT naturally excite me and I continue to support diverse people both directly as well as indirectly in their transition moments of variable difficulty. A highly committed listening without invalidation is what is required for a PERSON undergoing a transition, that was hitherto not faced before. It recently dawned upon me that it is NOT just about transitions, but also in stable/steady states people need to RE-ENGAGE better in their current roles by getting them to have a view of role demand with a SWOT perspective, and how much of support/nudge I could bring to table. My diverse experience base of 24 years as IT developer, Manager, Pre-sales Consultant, Quality evangelist, Technology Competency Manager and HRD trainer in two large organizations namely Tata Motors and Wipro holds me in good stead. I also have nearly 2000 hours of experience in supporting existential concerns of a mini cross section of society by virtue of my assisting hours at Landmark worldwide over the last 3 years. Thus, what I can potentially offer to individuals and organizations is a great will/skill(in that order) combination with very high flexibility and terms to engage me. Thus I see a great opportunity in my competency base supporting your unique need. Feel free to have an exploratory conversation with me.Check me out @ https://willandskillenablement.quora.com/
