The playlist in your mind ... β I was reading an article about Olympic athletes and came across an interesting statistic - more than 85% of athletes engage in positive self-talk (i.e. the playlist in the mind). As a past sports person, I remember my coach would do something similar when we won matches and when we lost matches, when we practiced and when we were traveling in the bus to go for a tournament - she would make us repeat after her a few 'phrases', which became our shield from all the ups and downs of the sporting journey. β The power of positive self-talk is known to have helped legendary players like Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, Cristiano Ronaldo, Saina Nehwal, Usain Bolt and many more to boost their confidence, maintain focus, minimise stress, manage mental challenges, and add longevity to their sporting careers. As leaders, wouldn't it be wonderful, if we could borrow this practice from sports psychology and build it into our daily rhythm - when we attend meetings, when we make decisions, when something fails, when something succeeds, when we are on stage, and when we are off stage.... β Today, I invite you to change the playlist in your mind. A simple mantra like "You can do this", "Stay composed, this is your moment", "It's your time" or any other phrase that resonates well with you could become your new playlist. β What possibilities can truly happen if you changed the playlist in your mind? #LeadershipLabβ β

Thought Presence is as much about being seen, as itβs about being felt. You can walk into a room without saying a word and still shift its energy. Thatβs the ability of someone whoβs inwardly anchored. The power of Presence is when we stop performing and start aligning - and our values, voice, and vibe say the same thing. What...

Thought Blaming is the illusion of action and the destruction of personal agency. As kids, we were told that when you point one finger at someone, remember that three are pointing at you. As professionals, we still continue to point a finger because we are so habituated to blaming the culture, the toxic environment, the manager,...
