I don’t think I have ever shared a picture from work on social media and blogs but this one I needed to 😊 Last Thursday we had a team-building event. I look at these events to do three things. Connect during the event, Reset & Rewire for work when the event ends and Reflect on the experience a few days later. This post is that … Continue reading A time together at work
We don’t work for the same reasons at 25 as we do at 55, yet companies and people could mistakenly treat us in the same way. It is not anyone’s fault it is about change, about what matters, what is visible and what transpires in our professional life. What We Seek at Work Changes with Time. We all have our career journeys and every one … Continue reading Our Relationship with work
As I read posts on LinkedIn, I wonder if it is written by an AI tool. The posts are so well optimized on word density, layout and icons. Not an extra word. They hit you like bullets and arrows. Like corporate talk should be. I agree LinkedIn is not Facebook, it is a professional network, but still… Maybe I am wrong. Maybe these are truly … Continue reading My love hate with AI
Telling we don’t know how to do something is very important and it just helps us and the company we work for. It gets us the help we need to learn and do our job better. Now the question is does our company and our team and our manager give us that freedom to say so. If not we have a problem. I say this … Continue reading I don’t know how to do it
Last week I wrote an article about my journey of recovery and the process. It got a good readership and I got messages from both friends and acquaintances. There were two kind of responses I received. One was from people who wanted to genuinely help me and the other was people who felt what I said resonated with them. For those who messaged to help … Continue reading Meaningful Work: Goldfishes, Community, Contribution and Challenges
The only person on whom we can experiment is ourselves. Even when we want others to change, the closest person we can work on changing is ourselves. I have not had a lot of Monday blues in my life. I liked going to office. But last four months were different. I had so many days I did not want to go to office. I hate … Continue reading My journey of recovery and the process
Sometimes I wonder what makes me happy. What makes others happy. What makes us all do what we do. There are no straight answers. It is a mix bag. Not having straight answers does not mean we stop asking these questions. What makes me happy?There are many things that make me feel good and for me sometimes. I feel good about things both personal and … Continue reading What makes me (us) happy ?
‘The cost of not doing’ is a profound question. Yet we ask less of it. The question feels trivial. We are suppose to do things & not ask what happens if we don’t do it. But the question and the answer can make a significant impact on how we prioritize things. Both in personal and professional life. The above point does not mean I ask … Continue reading The Cost of not doing
Calling Out and Calling In. I figured out the importance of that differentiation and was able to delver deeper into the meaning and difference as I read Loretta Ross’s new book Calling In: How to Start Making Change with Those You’d Rather Cancel. We don’t agree with everyone we come across. People at work and people in life. Most of them we can get by, … Continue reading Calling In by Loretta Ross: Book Positive
Finally I watched Severance. It took me a while. And something in me is wanting me to look at work, both my past, present and future at work and life. In my career, I have worked with people who came to work just because they could not stand their personal life and relationships. I have also worked with people who worked so much that they … Continue reading Severance: What my Innie tells my Outie
