What Motivates Me
Friends ask what motivates me. Well, in the beginning, both my parents. From each of them I’ve learned important life’s values.

What makes me walk away from a coaching engagement as a coach?

Blood is thicker than Water
I had a coffee session with one of my ex-colleague recently, catching up on office matters. Although I left office about a year ago to go into full time coaching but it is always nice to be in the loop of what’s hot and what’s not in the office!

The Laws of Goal Setting
If there is one thing that I loved and obsessed since the beginning of my career, it was to organise, plan and set goals for myself. I read every possible book, article published, heard over and over what influencers were talking about how they set their goals and achieve them one after the other.

Trust
Trust is a big word. Bigger than anything ever existed in this world. It makes us strive, succeed or fail in any relationships; be it personal or professional.

Mum, I’m the one asking the questions…..!
Recently, I saw an opportunity to engage my developing coaching skills in a conversation with my eight year old son. We had been learning about the use of metaphors in our training sessions and I got really excited when my son asked ‘Mum, what would you rather be? A tree or a house?’. Instantly, I … Continue reading "Mum, I’m the one asking the questions…..!"

Alvin Toffler, an American writer and futurist known for his works discussing the digital, communications, corporate revolutions and technological singularity, said…. “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” Wondering, how does this quote relates to the title of the … Continue reading "Want to be Successful? – Question your Questioning!"
