As team leaders we all want to do the best for our full team and its individual members.
We look at ways to encourage them, motivate them, and keep them focused on doing the best possible work. This is certainly the intent that each successful team leader holds for her or his team.
But most times, these are aspects of human behavior – both at an individual and at a group level – that many leaders have not understood. We essentially replicate what our leaders – especially our role models – have done for us in our own career. And, this is a great place to start!!
However, we tend to forget that the situation and context and work and life when we were in our early careers is very different from the people who report to us now. So, some of what we’re practicing may not be appropriate and may not be effective.
What will be very helpful for you as a team leader is to have some foundational understanding of human performance from the lens of psychology.
With this deeper understanding, it will be easier for you to then look at specific do’s and don’ts that work for your team and individual team members.
So, how can we help our team members achieve consistently high levels of performance and quality in what they do? And, to do this with psychological and physical efficiency…

Welcome to the last conversation (episode 3) we’re having in this series on strengthening the relationship between couples or partners.
In the two previous episodes, we’ve spoken about establishing or re-establishing the foundation for a good relationship between the two of you, and we’ve looked at ways to have some meaningful conversations.
Let’s talk today about talking about some difficult things for the couple/partners.
Our goal is not to have a perfect solution, or to establish a process that must be followed irrespective of what’s happening.. because by definition, during difficult times, the established patterns are shaken.
However, if you’ve done some talking and thinking around how you both will deal with these issues, then it will be so much easier to support the other, or even recover if one has blown it completely.

Let’s continue our conversation on strengthening the relationship between couples or partners. This is the second part of a 3 part series on (Re) Igniting your relationship.
Our focus today is on setting a strong foundation for the relationship between couples and partners. So, if you’ve not listened to part 1 of this series, I encourage you to listen to part 1 also.
Now, most couples start a relationship – either by active choice or by passive acceptance – without too much thought of some basic processes in managing the relationship.
More often than not, cultural norms shape what the roles of the partners are; or the couple figures it out by trial and error.
But what if, the couple had a conversation about some foundational processes of living together? Would that not minimize a lot of confusion and heartburn?
So, here are some areas that both of you should have a conversation on.
It doesn’t matter if you’re just getting together or if you have been together for some time. It’s always wise to re-look at how roles and expectations change along with life phase.

Till you meet that special person, life seems a bit less grounded or unstable. And, then you finally meet that special person and it’s rainbows and roses… at least in the movies, and perhaps in real life as well.
Now, time goes on and the relationship which was wild and passionate and adventurous tends to mature into a peace-filled pace that we enjoy. There is a maturity in the relationship that moves from being a fizzy soda to the deeper roundedness of a single malt. Well, at least for some of us!! Or certainly, if you’re reading the right romantic novel or watching a happy romcom.
Now, just hold on.. till now I’ve painted a very cynical picture of relationships. What if I told you that there was a way in which the rainbow and roses can actually be part of your relationship.. not in a fictional way, but in a very real way that works for you and your partner.
So, let’s talk about these practices today.. And, if you’re just starting out with that special person in your life or if you’ve been in a relationship for some, here are some easy to do practices that can IGNITE or RE-IGNITE the love, respect and affection that is integral to mature and successful relationships.

There is certainly one place that nearly all of us have been at.. and that is at the crossroads!!
The Crossroad (s) is the place and or time in our life when we’re not sure of how to proceed, in which direction to go, or what to do next…
The pathways are conflicting, there is no certainty, there’s lots of confusion, and not enough data. And, if this point in time and space occurs when one is also dealing with emotional turbulence then, it’s that much harder and scarier…
This is the time we wish we had someone who could tell us what the best choice is.. which is the road to take… or could provide us with some assurance of success. Unfortunately, by definition, this peace of mind does not exist at the crossroads.
So for those of us who are at a crossroad in our life.. let’s talk about a way to think about the choices that are before us, in a holistic way.

As a talented and ambitious professional, you’re committed to your learning and development. You’re probably attending as many programs online or reading material or getting certifications as you can. And, this is a required and integral part of your development.. However, this gives you only explicit or technical knowledge.
There is another aspect of your learning and development that you need to focus on.. and this is getting tacit knowledge or wisdom… especially to manage your career, navigate organizational dynamics, learn some tricks of the trade and so on. And, this wisdom is not there in books or courses. It is in the minds and hearts of senior leaders and successful people who are ahead of you in the journey.
So, in our conversation today, let’s talk about 5 questions that you can ask your senior colleagues – from your own company or your connections from different organizations. You can use these questions to have very effective conversations with your mentors – both formal and informal. And, you can use these questions to have a deep conversation with any senior stakeholder that you have an opportunity to have a one on one with.

Ever so often managers and leaders have the opportunity to meet with their senior colleagues from the executive level. This could be a VIP visit to the site, or at the Board meeting or some launch event and so on…
Most times, YOU - the young and upcoming leader - are not able to really take advantage of the air time or personal face time with the senior leader.
In some cases, YOU essentially stay quiet and let the boss speak, or you just listen and nod and smile, or you let some other upstart steal the spotlight.
Now, even if this has happened in the past, let’s talk about what you can do to make a meeting with a senior executive – the boss ka boss – an opportunity where you can gain visibility, make an impact, and be seen as someone who can add value and thought leadership. And, the best news is that you can do this in ways that are authentic to your personality.

The last couple of years have been particularly difficult for team leaders at all levels. The way we’ve lead teams all these years in our career has been completely disrupted and we’ve had to adjust to using virtual mode as our only option.
However, there is some down side in terms of zoom fatigue, endless virtual meetings and calls, erosion or home and work boundary, and disruption of geographic time management.
There is an overwhelming sense of tiredness and fatigue that has crept in because of the lack of separation between work and personal life. Therefore, as a leader or manager - there is a challenge now for you to drive performance with your team members.
So, in our conversation today, let’s discuss some ways that you can push for performance; these ideas are drawn from behavior change science and are the foundational practices in leadership.

In our conversation today, we’re talking about specific strategies that you can use in each phase of the personal change process.
This is part 2 of our series on understanding the personal change process, so if you’ve not listened to part 1; then you’ll find it really helpful to listen to that first and then come back to this episode.
We’ve understood what each one is in our last episode, so today, my focus is to share with you some do’s and don’ts for each stage so that you can support YOURSELF or someone else effectively.

So, you’ve been wanting to start to make changes in your lifestyle for quite some time now. But, something always comes up OR the timing just doesn’t seem to be right.
And Unfortunately, when we’re unable to move towards the personal changes that we aspire to make, we start Judging ourselves: I just don’t have the discipline, I control myself.. Or, we condemnourselves … I’m such a loser… or just feel really terrible or guilty and so on.
None of these states are helpful for you to move ahead, and can keep you locked into a maladaptive pattern of behavior.
However, if you were to understand - based on a research model - what you’re experiencing about the personal change you aspire to make…. then it’s easier to find ways to find more effective ways of supporting yourself. That’s what we’re talking about today!!

Most of us have a secret!! And, this secret is that we’re trying to lose weight or get more physically active or drop a habit that is not helpful for us, or trying to pick up a habit that is good for us.
We treat this behavior change program of ours as a SOLO Journey and very soon we’re not able to sustain it and so we drop out.
The reason we drop out is that this is NOT supposed to be a SOLO journey!
You’ll succeed if you treat it as travelling with friends and family. Your social network!!
So in our conversation today, let’s learn to develop and leverage your Social Support network!!

By the time you reach mid- to senior level successfully in the organization, your skills, qualifications, talent, track record, are considered as base line requirements for the job; they are essentials to help you keep your job but are not enough if you aspire to grow further.
One of the key requirements for success in organizational growth is to develop and nurture a mentor, or preferably a panel of mentors - who will support your career..
These mentors can be formally appointed by the organization for you; OR BETTER STILL, YOU can develop your own mentor or mentors, informally!!
In our conversation today, let’s understand what a mentor is and how she or he can support your career growth; and most importantly how you can develop and leverage your own network of mentors.

Leaders reach a senior level and find themselves with knowledge and skills that can be outdated and not relevant to the requirements of the new role.
And, this can make them feel vulnerable because they see peers who have new ideas, are able to bring in different points of view, share information that is relevant and unique and always seem to be on the cutting edge of information and analysis.
So what is the secret of these leaders who are thriving and making a mark at senior leadership level?
What makes them truly leaders who bring in thought leadership and have influence?
Let’s talk about this secret today!!

As LEADERS & MANAGERS, many times we work with team members or other stakeholders who’re dealing with a difficult situation or some emotional turmoil and during this time, they’re thinking tends to go haywire.
This faulty thinking can be a passing phase or it can tend to stick around for a bit. Now, you as an outside person can clearly see that the thinking is faulty, but for the person who is thinking this way and feeling it also….it is real!
In our conversation today, let’s understand some of the commonly used thinking patterns that can cause our clients distress and then I’ll suggest some questions that you can weave into a conversation with them to help them re-look at the situation in a more expansive way that is helpful rather than pushing them in a corner.

When it comes to setting goals, all of us know about SMART goals or setting BHAG goals. Leaders are conditioned to set goals that are big, inspiring, and that are supposed to scare the self or scare others.
And, while this might give a small shot of adrenaline rush, there is an immediate crash the next day when it comes to actually implementing these inspirational, BIG Goals, that are supposed to scare.
Fact is that they are so scary that our own inner systems collapse when it comes to actually executing them.
While it’s easy to get energy from inspiration, the difficulty is maintaining the perspiration!!
So, today, let’s talk about how we can make setting and attaining goals more realistic. This is even more important if you are a LEADER or a Coach, because this is where our stakeholders will need some balance to their exuberance… so that they can move into implementation zone and not just stay stuck in inspiration!!

Over the last year and half t we’ve all struggled with the impact of Covid in our personal and professional lives, our fears and anxiety have been amplified and concentrated given the chronic impact of this virus.

So, in our conversation today, I’d like to share some insights and techniques that have worked for my coaching and counseling clients.. and for me too. And, I trust that they will be helpful for you also.

The last couple of years between COVID and long hours in calls, have pushed so many of us to become COUCH POTATOES. Our health and fitness have taken a back seat!! Given that the situation is still difficult and uncertain, many of us do not have an idea (or perhaps energy) to get back into some form of fitness. In today's conversation we share some very simple tips to help you start taking some simple steps...

The last one year of Covid has created and put us under tremendous pressure and stress. And, the fact that the end is no where in sight.. we now have an escalation that is even more severe… means that many of us are struggling with a high level of fatigue..or despair.. and giving up…
So, let’s consider the things that are causing this covid fatigue and look for ways that we can deal with it. These are COVID FATIGUE Management Strategies!! We really don’t have a choice because we have – perhaps – another six months more of this virulent situation.

The challenge with the so called negative emotions such as anger, fear, sadness, shame, guilt, anxiety, depression and so on – is that they often cross over from a normal functional range that we all experience during the course of a day or week, to a more intense level that tends to last longer. Maybe a few weeks or a few months.
In such situations, the brain’s neural circuits get caught repeating the same unhelpful thoughts which in turn trigger these negative emotions.. this is called rumination, and because the brain’s circuit gets stuck going in the same loop, this situation tends to last weeks or months and has an impact on activities of daily living and life as a whole.
So, in our conversation today, let’s talk about some whacky strategies that can support you to get out of this funk.. And, if you’re a coach or counselor you can use these strategies to support your client in their healing journey.

Psychological safety is the what your team members experience at the workplace, because you make each member feel that they can be heard … and you welcome their input.
…in such teams, studies demonstrate increased creativity and productivity because of the higher levels of trust and confidence that each member feels.
One of the ways that a team leader creates psychological safety with the members of his team is having coaching conversations that are specifically designed to make the team member feel heard and respected.
The questions that we discuss in this episode are designed to do this. You can have one conversation which you include as many questions that you see are appropriate OR you can make a few of these questions a part of all your meetings.

When it comes to office politics, many of us shy away from it because it seems to have a negative connotation.
In our minds we think of backstabbing, playing underhand games, hypocrisy, lack of trust, gossiping and so on. No one is open to say, I love office politics and I’m good at it.. yet, there are so many who become part of it… knowingly or unknowingly.. willingly or unwillingly.
So, in our conversation let’s understand what’s behind this term and how to manage office politics.

None of us can deny that the last one year has disrupted nations, economies, industries, companies, and our individual lives. We’ve had to look at every aspect of how we live and work. Many sacred beliefs and traditions about how we do things, and how businesses need to be run have been reset because we’ve discovered that life goes one without them… in new ways!
So, in our conversation today, let’s talk about somethings that we need to think about as lessons learned; and our focus is on how we can apply these learnings into the coming 3 years or more.
These insights are drawn from research, and more importantly from the life stories of my coaching clients and my own family. Please feel free to adapt these ideas to work for you and your job, business, and family and life.

Every leader – whether it is a first-time team leader or a senior executive at the Director, VP or CXO level is interested in increasing her or his productivity and effectiveness as a leader.
One way that is often overlooked or treated without much intention is the leader’s ability and willingness to delegate important tasks to direct reports. Research shows that leaders who delegate effectively can increase their effectiveness at work by as much as 30%.
So, how can You – as a leader - increase your own effectiveness and productivity dramatically? The answer is: yes, you need to learn – or perhaps RELEARN – to delegate.
And, this is our goal in today’s conversation.. to learn to explore what might be blocks within ourselves as leaders that hinder effective delegation; and then explore strategies to overcome these blocks. Since research demonstrates the effectiveness of leaders who delegate, why not you and I start applying these strategies to gain the benefits for ourselves?

Most leaders are effective at leading their teams and all the people in their own businesses because they rely on the power that comes from their place in the organizational structure. Many of them depend on command and control model, authority structures, and chain of command to have their ideas and instructions followed. However, once these leaders reach senior levels, they need to develop another skill as part of inventory to succeed as senior executives. And, this is the skill of influence.
So, the goal of our conversation today is to give you some ideas and insights on how you can start becoming a leader who carries influence with internal and external stakeholders that matter to you.
These ideas may sound simple; however, the magic happens when you make it authentic so that they become part of who you are and you practice them consistently because they are integral to who you are as a person and leader. It’s not possible to switch influence on or use it only when you need to on certain occasions, that’s not what I mean by being a leader of influence.

Gaslighting is psychological manipulation in which a person or a specific group secretly sows seeds of doubts in a targeted person, or undermines their credibility, or erodes the targeted person’s confidence in himself/herself. This way of interacting with the targeted person makes the targeted person question their own judgment, or memory, or understanding.
Gaslighters can be a manager or a senior co-worker, or even an angry customer or colleague. And, the gaslighter can target a particular individual or a specific group. What makes this so dangerous and damaging is that it can be done camouflaged in humor or with a patronizing attitude, or with a false façade of being concerned for the targeted person.
It can be done in sweetness, but the sweetness contains poison.
In our conversation today, let’s understand some aspects that can help us understand gaslighting in the workplace! As you listen to these factors, please check that you are not subjecting someone to gaslighting. And, be alert that you are not a victim of it. Also, check if you are not part of a coterie that is gaslighting someone.

All of us have to deal with setbacks in our life. Some of these setbacks are minor e.g. deadlines that can’t be met, plans cancelled, finances not coming through and so on.
For sure, there is an impact because of these setbacks, but they are not life threatening nor do they destroy you at a deep emotional level.
And, then there are setbacks which are more serious or intense. This could be loss of a loved one or a breadwinner in the family, a chronic disease such as cancer, or the loss of property or business, a job and so on. These setbacks have a much larger and deeper impact; they are harder to bounce back from; and they leave a deep emotional scar.
Our goal in today’s conversation is to share wisdom that that will encourage you to strengthen yourself to deal with setbacks before they come so that you can cope with them effectively; and if you’re currently struggling through a setback, then my prayer is that you will be encouraged by our talk to get back on track at earliest possible time.

When it comes to setting goals, all of us know about SMART goals or setting BHAGs. We are conditioned to set goals that are big, inspiring, and that are supposed to scare yourself or scare others.
Most of these beliefs have a feel good factor about them especially if you share them on social media or talk about them within your friends circle. Even as coaches we encourage our clients to set goals that fuel their ego or ours..
While it’s easy to get energy from inspiration, the difficulty is maintaining the perspiration!!
So, today, let’s talk about how we can make setting and attaining goals more realistic. This is even more important if you are a leader or a Coach, because this is where our stakeholders will need some balance to their exuberance… so that they can move into implementation zone and not just stay stuck in inspiration!!

Today, I’d like to focus briefly on a topic that nearly every team leader or group coach wants answers to.. and that is how do I motivate my team.
This could be your project team, if you’re a team leader, or a fitness group if you’re a group fitness coach.
A short answer is that there is NO magic answer or one size fits all formula…however, research points to some very helpful strategies that you can do and these go beyond giving a pep talk once a year or doing team building interventions..

When we talk about making a change.. whether it is getting fitter, or learning a new skill, or dropping a habit or developing a new one, we all struggle with trying to understand how we can motivate ourselves to start the change and then to stick with the change.
Making a change…especially a personal change is a complex issue. We wish there was one answer, one formula or one theory that could explain all the nuances or give us the secret to make and stick with the change.
We also wish we had an answer to the question how can I motivate myself? One of the reasons that there is soooooo much material on this subject is that there is NO easy answer or one solution that applies to each and every situation or to every person.
So, our goal in this series on motivation is to gain insights and some practical tips that will help us stay on track with our own inner motivation with our personal change process.

When it comes to exercise, most of us feel that there’s just no time for it!! It can also be scary to lift weights or use those fancy machines… and it seems embarrassing to ask someone for help.
And, in the last year even the movement that we had to do during our commute or walking around the office, walks to the canteen and back… have all become distant memories!
The latest research on wellness points to physical inactivity as the most critical health crisis of the 21stcentury.Step 1 is to understand it’s importance to your fitness and wellness!
Here is an EASY way you can weave in some physical activity and movement WITHIN your crazy schedule…

One of the questions that we all grapple with when looking at losing weight is which is more effective: exercise or diet? Well, in theory both approaches can support your weight loss journey. The answer between which is more effective.. exercise or nutrition management is: the one that you can stick to!!
The essential formula to lose weight is that over a sustained period of time of a few months, the calorie intake must be less than your calorie expenditure.
That is you must expend more than you put in, so that there is a net calorie deficit.
Rather than tell you what to eat and what not to, or prescribe a specific diet, it’s more effective to incorporate some principles of healthy nutrition. Incorporate these principles in the way you manage your nutrition, and you’re on the MAGIC Diet!!

Nearly each one of us would have made a new year resolution or set a goal to get physically fit this year. Well it’s coming close to the middle of the first month, so how’re you doing?
If you’re like me.. and so many of us.. .then we all make a great start and within a few weeks, the schedule and life catches up and things go back to the same old way.
In our conversation today, my goal is to encourage you and I – together – to do some very realistic thinking on our wellness so that we can make deeper lifestyle changes than just hit the gym for a few weeks or stick to the diet for 15 days. And, to succeed in the long term, we need to start with answering 4 QUESTIONS...

It’s almost end of the year, and it’s time to think about our RESOLUTIONS for the new year.. 2021!!
Some of us would probably prefer to do some goal setting for 2021 because setting resolutions has a bad rap!!
Given that 2020 has changed the way the entire world operates, and has impacted the way we live and work, this is an appropriate time for us to re-start and re-boot for 2021.
Perhaps this year that is coming to an end will give us the humility and perspective that we may have lost; it will certainly help us look at what’s possible and what’s not with fresh eyes and a mindset that’s more flexible and open.
So based on my research in positive psychology, and my own fumbling experiments, here’s the No. 1 resolution / goal that I’m setting for myself and want to encourage you to do so too…

Do you struggle with procrastinating on tasks that need to get done? Especially, things that are important but don’t really give you a dopamine rush? Examples include getting started on a report or project, doing documentation, wading through study material and so on…
And, if you’re like me, in addition to struggling with starting difficulties, I have a hard time staying focused and attentive on the task at hand. Being a digital addict, it’s only a few seconds – not even minutes – before my hand and eye wanders longingly to social media feeds or checking messages, hoping for a homeopathic dose of dopamine.
So, let’s talk about the Pomodoro technique and see how we can adapt it to make it work for you!

You are so overwhelmed and pressured between work and home, so stressed and possibly feeling so stuck, that it’s hard for you to even wait for a couple of minutes to listen to this important idea that I have to share.
And, the idea is that one way to find more time and balance, and energy, and feel less stuck, is to consciously and actively develop and pursue a hobby or hobbies.
Summarizing and distilling research data, the benefits of pursuing a hobby include: reduction of stress; developing a feeling of being in control of work life balance, and fostering creativity and innovation at work. In addition, at a physical level, hobbies are shown to reduce blood pressure, increase satisfaction with life and work, and create a sense of belonging.
So, it makes sense to create time for a hobby.. Let’s talk about how you can do it!!

A key differentiator between a really successful leader or individual contributor is the way she or he is able to deliver what they’re supposed to.
This is what I mean by EXECUTION; the ability to get things done, to put the strategy in action successfully, and achieve the goals that were set.
In our conversation today, let’s look at what are the success elements of those who are able to execute successfully; so we’re not talking about how to design a strategy but tips and tactics on what makes for successful execution of it.
And, our focus is at an individual level.. so you may be the leader of a large project or an individual developer or a sales contributor - today we’ll talk about what makes you awesome at execution.

Here are two questions that most professionals stumble to give a convincing answer either in an appraisal interview or a job interview or just about any time; the questions are: What value do you bring to the table? What value have you added in the last 12 months?
The reason that so many of us stumble is that we do not actively think about the significant value that we bring or have brought because we’re not really thinking about adding value!!
Meeting results, deadlines, performance targets, working hard are not value innovation; that’s the expected norm!
In our conversation today, let’s understand this concept of what it means for you and I - as professionals - to create value ; and how we can look at ways to create value in our role, or job, or business or even life.
And, I’d like to provide some very practical and powerful ideas to help you think about how you can add value.

Most of us envy those who’ve had success.. and this is in any field, sports, arts, technology, music, profession and so on. We admire them as exceptionally talented or having all the lucky breaks or rich parents.. and we wish that we too had so much talent or parents or luck.
And, certainly there are a few who get the breaks but the vast majority of those who are successful over the long term do something that most of those who are not successful or those who get stuck well below their potential – do not do!!.
So, what is this secret .. this one thing that successful people do – across all fields, whether it is sports or technical skills or leadership or anything else. Angela Duckworth in her book of the same name, calls this quality GRIT!! And, grit is the name she uses for EFFORT!!
So, in our conversation today, let’s understand a bit more about what this intense consistent long-term EFFORT looks like. My goal is that our conversation today will motivate you to get back on track… and put in the effort you need to put in to get to what you want for yourself!!

As coaches we have a duty of care for the wellness of the clients that we work with - and as leaders, we have a duty of care for the wellness of the teams that we manage.
But before we support our direct reports or clients –in terms of their wellness - it’s really critical for you and I as care-providers to look after our own wellness first.
And, when I use the word wellness, I mean physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual wellness.
But, how can we support others if we do not focus on our own self-care first?
Now, in addition to your work related responsibilities if you are managing your home, and are a care giver to children, elder parents, or a loved one who is ill, the importance of self-care is intensified.
You now have to focus on EXTREME SELF-CARE!!
Cheryl Richardson in her book, The Art of Extreme Self-Care provides this extreme self-care kit in chapter 12; and I’ve extracted some of the key elements that I believe will work for you and I.
I’ve been using this assessment as process to be followed, and also using the assessment as a way to stay on track, assess progress, and be alert to areas where I need help. It’s been really effective for my coaching clients too!

Hello! Welcome to our conversation today about developing expertise. And when I say expertise I mean a level of performance and knowledge (both tacit and explicit) and skill that is significantly higher than what you had before. It is also significantly higher than that of a comparable reference group for your skill or domain is.
Now, there is a big myth around developing expertise: we think that having numbers of years of experience automatically leads to expertise or mastery of one’s subject or skill.
This is just not true - in any field.. whether it is sports or a technical area such as medicine, or technology or a professional field such as law or executive coaching. Only years or just doing hours of the same thing again and again is not really effective and does not lead to mastery or expertise.
What helps us develop expertise or mastery in our chosen field or skill is Deliberate Practice.

As coaches we often try and look for a framework that will help us understand our client - and how she or he - views others, the coach, and the coaching relationship.
We know that understanding our client in a deeper way will help us support him or her more effectively. One very helpful theoretical framework from psychology, that provides an excellent understanding of how our client views the relationship with others is ATTACHMENT THEORY.
So, our goal in today’s conversation is to draw some concepts from Attachment Theory that will be support our work as coaches; these concepts will help us understand how different clients see others within the context of an interpersonal relationship, and therefore, how they see us and the coaching relationship. We’ll understand why some clients may feel needy towards us or why some might distance themselves from us.

NOTES:
Here’s a bit more detail on how we can understand our own attachment style and that of our clients.
A client who is secure looks at self and others in a positive way and thinks about self and others as being trustworthy and open to intimacy. The secure client is happy to seek support when their emotions are turbulent or when they are in distress; and are willing to look at ways to deal with the problem. They are able to provide closeness and are sensitive without getting controlling or possessive and are able to seek support when they feel anxious. All this suggests that they are more likely to have lasting and more satisfying relationships – both at work and in their personal life.
Remember that the insecure style has 3 variants: Preoccupied, Dismissing and Fearful. Let’s understand some characteristics of these styles so that we can start with identifying our own style and then help our client understand their own style of insecure attachment.
In the Preoccupied style, a person views himself or herself in a negative or diminished way but has an idealized view of the other person. This person with a preoccupied style is always paying attention to the other and is very sensitive about what the other says and does.
Such a person is always tuned in to emotions that are negative, and feels threatened by little things; they are self-critical and resort to emotional outbursts when reacting to stress situations. In relationships, this person shifts between being a compulsive caregiver or being inconsistent and insensitive with responding to the other. They are unable to recognize distress in another because they are too afraidthat they will be overwhelmed by the other person’s negative emotion.
The Dismissing / Avoidant style person has positive beliefs about oneself but has negative expectations of the other person. Such people tend to be distant in relationships, they do not want too much connection, the place a very high stress on independence and often seem emotionally detached.
The person with the Fearful/Avoidance style sees both the self and the other person from a negative lens. This person creates distance in relationships to avoid the pain of rejection of intimacy. They seem to have limited range of emotions and are not effective in expressing them.
They have high levels of anxiety which they keep contained from others. Their interactions with others are of low emotional depth and quality; as caregivers they swing from being highly compulsive to dismissing and avoidance. Their inability to recognize emotional cues from others and their fear in getting close to another leads them to reject or minimize efforts from others to build a relationship.
It’s become very fashionable for professionals who are aspiring to be on the fast track for senior leadership to talk about building their personal brand, or increasing their professional visibility, personal gravitas, developing thought leadership and so on.
Unfortunately, most times these remain as buzz words that sound good on development plans and in development conversations, but in reality there is no understanding of an actionable way of achieving any of this.
As executive coaches, we are called to support our clients to develop these leadership qualities and we may run the risk of suggesting superficial strategies such as write a blog or network more but the first step to building personal brand or visibility or gravitas or thought leadership is to develop PERSONAL MASTERY.
Once a person develops personal mastery, these other elements such as personal brand and thought leadership follow!
In our conversation today, you will learn how to develop PERSONAL MASTERY!!

Most of us are victims of digital addiction! The last few months of being stuck at home with Covid have amplified the effects of this digital addiction in a way that most of us are now pining for going back to work.
As an executive coach, I find that most of my clients are battling the symptoms of digital addiction. It manifests itself in many areas of our client’s life and no doubt that we too are struggling with it. I know I am!!
A few days back, I read a book called Limitless by Jim Kwik, and in it he talks about the 4 D’s of digital addiction. These 4 D’s are digital deluge; digital distraction; digital dementia, and digital deduction. He also talks about a 5th D which is digital depression.
My goal today’s conversation with you is to help you understand DIGITAL ADDICTION, how dangerously insidious it has become, and what we can do to start overcoming it!

As Coaches we’re all likely to come across a client who worries all the time. As a leader you might have a colleague who is a WORRIER…
And, I’m not talking about the normal worry that is part of our life, but this worrying is very intense, it’s chronic– that is, happening over a long term, and is disruptive – that is affecting the person’s functioning in a healthy way.
Now, we’re coaches and leaders.. we certainly don’t claim to be psychologists, but in our conversation today, I’d like to talk about this client or colleague who is an excessive Worrier. Let’s understand what’s happening with this person and within this person, and how we can respond and support him or her in the best possible way as a coach or leader.

Simply put, a working hypothesis is a way for us to understand what is happening with the client – what factors might be causing the distress – and what would be effective ways to support the client to move towards what he or she wants or what might be helpful; and the important aspect is that the working hypothesis looks at the client situation and coaching plan from a holistic and systemic perspective.
As coaches, let’s understand a bit more about how the process of developing a working hypothesis happens; and how we can use it to support our client!

The Appraisal process is difficult for both the appraisee AND the appraiser. And, for many leaders it does not get easier as one goes up the ranks!! Neither does it get easier for the appraisee who is a senior manager. So, why is there so much trauma for both parties around the Appraisal Interview?
In this conversation, Dr. Abhay Valsangkar explains why there is angst from the point of view of the organization, the human level, and from the point of the appraiser and the appraisee. He points out some things that are not done correctly and how both parties can contribute to making the experience productive and less traumatic.
Given the fact that APPRAISALS are now starting – especially during this COVID phase – it’s essential to explore the essentials of how the APPRAISAL can be made a positive and productive experience!!!

Irrespective of the organization level, we all have a BOSS!! And, as we get more senior, we often have multiple bosses. A critical factor in our career success is our ability to build relationship bridges with our senior stakeholders. Those of us who are able to do this find it easier to get the doors to open for the best opportunities.
Building the relationship bridge with your own Boss may be easier said than done!! Therefore, in this conversation we draw upon the experience and wisdom of SIX senior leaders across industries and domains, and ask them for their secrets on managing the relationship with the BOSS effectively.
The six leaders are:
- Balaji Aravamuthan – Global CIO, UPL Limited
- Dr Sujatha Narayan – MD, Faiveley Transport India
- Vijay Krishnan - Executive Vice President, Kennametal India Limited
- Abhay Valsangkar – Management Consultant
- Anand Ganesh. - Executive Coach and Management Consultant
- Rupesh Tripathi - Head of People at KPMG Global Services
The 3 questions that these senior leaders answer are: their best tips on building a strong relationship with the Boss; how to get the Boss to see your point of view, and how to calm the Boss when she or he is upset.

As executive coaches or leaders we often support our clients or colleagues change some ways of thinking or being that are toxic or damaging to their relationships and results.
It seems that every one is aware of the way this person is, except the individual!
And, as their coach or leader we need to recognise five ways (viruses) in which this individual can create their very own pandemic; and we need to support them with some antidotes that will minimise the negative impact for them. So, we discuss five antidotes to the five viruses that impact our wellbeing!!

Our focus in today’s conversation is to understand how the way we interact with our child or children - right from the day they are born - dramatically impacts the way they learn to interact in their adult relationships. Now all of us as parents have the best of intentions for our children, but the impact on them may be very different.
So, let’s take a few minutes to do a quick self-check… and no matter what we’ve done so far, we can make changes to become much more effective parents. And, I build this conversation based on the experiences I’ve had growing up and realizing how it’s impacted me in my adult life, research from psychology, my journey as a client with my own counselor, and my work as a coach and counselor working with parents.
As parents, this is a must listen for us!!

We all say that coaching works! Especially if one is a coach! AND, if you’ve experienced the power of coaching as a client, you know it works!!
However, few of us are able to explain from a conceptual or theoretical perspective, what happens in the process and why it works.
So, whether you’re a leadership coach working with a client or a leader using a coaching conversation with a direct report, here is a useful framework from Attachment Theory for us to understand what is going on.
And, with this understanding, we can deepen the impact of the process for our clients or direct reports. So, that’s the objective of our conversation in this episode.

Like the corona virus, negativity is highly contagious. There is so much hype on social media on being positive and staying positive ….and the power of the positive seems to have an overriding effect on all the negative stuff that happens.
The message of these feel good gurus on social media is that irrespective of the shit that is hitting the roof, you can make it all go away if you’re positive.
Well that may get clicks on social media, but that is NOT what real life experience says, and certainly not what research from social psychology points to. And, in my practice as an executive coach, I find that many of my clients struggle with figuring out what to do and how to manage team members or colleagues who are toxic.
So, in our conversation today, let’s talk openly about the power of the bad or the negative and the tremendous impact it has on how we operate and on our environment.

Many HR leaders do pretty well in their careers to reach up to senior leadership…GM or Dir or even VP level. But then, from there on they struggle to move up to the C-Suite or get a seat on the Board. Something changes at the edge of the C-Suite, and often HR is not able to make it!!
In our conversation today, Adil Malia, Chief Executive of The Firm, and ex-Group President HR of the Essar group, explains what happens at the Board, how it is different from the senior HR role under the CEO, and therefore, what the HR leader needs to do to get a seat at the Board!!
Adi's insightful and in-depth wisdom is too precious to just have only senior HR leaders listen, so I encourage ALL senior leaders who aspire to the Board to listen!! It will certainly be the best investment you make in your career today!! Here is your action plan and blue print to the C-Suite!!

SILOS are a part of organisation life that we ALL know exist, but few of us are willing to talk about it openly. Oftentimes, as leaders there is the ASK that we must BREAK SILOS or work across SILOS.

In this frank conversation, Anand Kartikeyan, addresses the issue head-on and offers an interesting perspective and ways to MANAGE SILOS; not BREAK them!!

As team leaders there are many situations that can drive you crazy. And, when I say team leader, one can be a young team leader of 3 or 4 people or a VP or CXO leading thousands of people.
Some issues that drive you crazy are personality driven, some are situational, some are systemic, and many are triggered because of our own belief systems or faulty thinking.
As an executive coach, I’ve often had to support my clients deal with situations that cause them frustration….. so here are a few common ones that nearly all team leaders have to deal with; and that drive them crazy. You will benefit from understanding the situation and how you could deal or respond in more helpful ways!! Why go crazy??

Many leaders who reach the VP/SVP and the CXO level learn quickly that there is a new entity that they need to learn to manage very quickly: THE BOARD!! Board members may be based in the same location or in different geographies; and there might be external members of the Board. The CXO's success depends to a large extent on how she/he manages the relationship with the Board; and this is even more critical during a crisis phase.
In this conversation, Jim McEleney, ex-COO or BNYMellon shares his wisdom and insights on how senior leaders need to manage the Board and its members. This is critical input if you're at a senior level; even if not the CXO!

Many of us who are from finance, or technology, or those of us who are shy, or just plain introverts have a hard time with the concept of networking!
I’m excited about our conversation today because I’m a strong introvert, socially very shy, and for a long time felt that networking was not for me. I tried to do it the standard ways but was miserable at it. So, what I’d like to share is how I’ve adapted it to make it work for me!!
So, in our conversation today, let’s understand what networking is and how it can benefit you and most importantly, let’s explore some ways that you can do it in ways that are authentic to you!

One of the requirements for almost any senior level promotion or recruitment is the concept of Executive Presence!
We know it when we see it, when it’s there.. and leaders aspiring to senior roles are told that they must develop it as part of the leadership development plan.
Yet, no one seems to be very sure what it is, and how it can be developed, so leaders are left at a loss…
In this insightful conversation, Ram Narayanan, VP and Managing Site Director R&D at VmWare India,explains what Executive Presence is and how to develop it from a practical lens.
With this understanding every professional – no matter at what level in their career – has a framework that can be used to make a personal development plan! This episode is a valuable investment in your career!

Most of us as leaders are happy to identify with the fact that we’re problem solvers!!
That’s what YOU and I do and our success and growth comes from the fact that we’re good at it.
However, as you grow up the ladder, there is something else that becomes as relevant – if not more important than problem-solving skills – and that is managing emotions.
Well, The focus in our conversation today is to talk about understanding emotions in inter-personal interactions, especially in our teams, and to suggest better ways to deal with different situations - so that you’re able to handle it with emotional sensitivity and emotional maturity.

There have been dramatic changes in the way teams are working over the last few months.
Social connections, office camaraderie, laughter in the cafeteria, gossip, saying hello and connecting to people from other teams, and across the organization are not possible, as is the feeling of being part of a larger community. These things are now things of the past and we’re not sure when we will experience this again in a post-Covid19 world.
In this interview with Dr. Oleg Konovalov, a thought leader, author, business educator and consultant, we explore questions of how we can re-create the sense of connection, community, and camaraderie that was part of our teams in the pre-Covid19 world. And, how we can engage at deeper levels than just spending more and more time on unending Zoom calls.

Senior level interviews can be internal – where a person at a senior level is looking for the next level role… the promotion!!
Or external, where the senior professional is looking for opportunities outside his or her own current organisation… the new job!!
In either case, it’s important for senior leaders to revisit what they need to do to prepare for the interview (before, after, and during the interview). This will enable them to present themselves in the best possible way! Especially, at SENIOR LEVELS!!
In this conversation, Dr. Uma Gautam, a career and on-boarding coach for CXO levels, shares her tips and advice so that you can feel confident and crack the interview!! It’s worth the listen even if you’re not planning an interview in the immediate future, because it will give you insights on how you can prepare for that future one today!!
