11:11 Tuesdays by Vaishali Wagle

August 19, 2025

Happy 11:11 Tuesdays Reader,

Here are 1 Thought, 1 Quote, 1 Word and 1 Humour for you to reflect upon this week.

1. Thought

Busy is a badge that distracts from the emptiness beneath.

As a coach to CXOs and aspiring CXOs, I often find professionals stagnant - and not in the usual meaning of the word.

They are busy, running large P&Ls, managing hundreds of people - they are moving fast, sometimes too fast to avoid standing still. And a simple question - what's your next career peak - is met with either silence or mind clutter.

That's stagnancy - being so busy, you don't know where you are headed.

Here's a reflection -

What might you notice if you paused long enough to observe the road you are on?

#PEAK

If you are a mid-senior finance or tech leader, and want to learn how to be promotable for high-growth Executive positions, then you will love PEAK.

It's our signature 6-week niche group coaching program, where you will learn the 9 Mastery Areas and build your customised Career Growth Strategy blueprint that will accelerate your career growth to executive roles.

If this sounds like the answer you’ve been waiting for, then book your free strategy call and discover if PEAK is right for you. Next cohort starts this September.

"Beware the barrenness of a busy life."

Socrates

1. Word

Kefi

(n.) (origin: Greek) [kay-fee]

The spirit of joy, passion, and high energy that arises when we live in the moment, and often experienced in a group setting. It's more than just happiness; it's a feeling that permeates the body and soul, expressed through laughter, dancing, singing, and a general zest for life. It's a (Greek) way of life.
