Recently, I was reading an interesting case of a mobile phone manufacturing company that until a couple of years ago was the world’s leading and most preferred brand and suddenly it is struggling to keep pace with the competition. The reason? Well, the competitors have been successful in introducing better, cheaper and faster products with superior technology. It happens all the time. Nothing remains forever. Products, ideas, services, everything changes. The best-selling products loose the sheen and get outdated if they don’t keep pace with changing time and trends. People/ organizations who reach the top by being imaginative and flexible also sometimes get into a comfort zone. While they fail to explore new directions and get complacent, they provide young competitors an opportunity to race past them, leaving them with two simple choices – Innovate or Perish. Someone rightly said that ‘the best way to predict future is to invent it’. Consider any example of a succes...

Unfazed by competition, which only drives him to do much better, Rahul Kapoor, the Indian Motivational speaker  in the city is someone to look out for in motivational training. He knows that dull classrooms bite and monotonous lectures are nothing more than tuneless lullabies.

Human beings are designed to make mistakes, irrespective of age, qualifications and past achievements we are all prone to go wrong. However, it is so fascinating to learn how people respond after making mistakes. A mistake loses it’s hold as soon as feelings of failure, resentment, anger or embarrassment are released. Some people get offended when they are told ‘you have made a mistake’ they get defensive or argumentative; some cover up mistakes in order to avoid responsibility; some act in denial of making the mistake; some blame others and give themselves a clean chit. Each of the responses have their own ill effects like – the feeling of failing destroys your confidence ; anger makes you bitter and hurt more people; embarrassment takes away the courage needed to face people; covering up mistakes take the pressure off for a while but takes away your sleep; blaming others may provide temporary relief, however, eventually the mistake will be traced back to you causi...

Teamwork is about getting results with people. However, while working with others differences do develop giving rise to conflicts, arguments and misunderstandings. Office politics can also play a role in straining relationships and creating stress. The result is work and people all suffer.

It is letting go of the need to seek revenge for the past offenses. But practicing forgiveness is not easy because most people find it difficult to forget those who hurt, cheat or let them down. Some feel it is a sign of weakness to forgive someone and for some it is a matter of ego and reputation to let go and strangely some forgive but can’t forget! This feeling of revenge unsettles ...

Fear is a powerful force. It is the enemy of success. Fear of all kinds and sizes is a form of psychological infection. It is a pessimistic concern. It roots in the depths of despair and worry and stress in general. Fear is such that it breaks down and destroys your will, your spirit and your fire inside. More people suffer in life because of fear rather than a disease or an inability. The ill effects of fear are many, let’s try to understand them. Because of f ear we remain average Ever wondered why some people never make it big in spite of having great skills! They have good ideas but they don’t share it, they have a solution but don’t discuss it. They have questions in their minds but don’t ask and have answers at the tip of their  tongue but don’t talk. That’s because of the fear of rejection, the fear that someone might laugh or belittle their ideas. This attitude stops them from growing in their career and they remain average. Because of fear we chea...
