  #Holi - a festival and celebration of #COLORS .  A day around which friends, families and colleagues come together and play with colours.  "Paint the Town Red" is taken quite literally around Holi and all the colours are included.  A festival of pure love and fun.  And like all things human, we end up messing it up. Some mischievous individuals will have a very different definition of this fun.  Fun for them but pain for others.  Forcing people to play. Grabbing and Groping strangers.  Harming animals with the colours and pranking them.   Using bad quality colours which harm the skin/eyes. These few individuals turn a fun festival into a scare.  Some bad experiences will scar individuals for life.  And they will never indulge in Holi again. Especially Women.  They might even develop permanent psychological disorders.  So much for the temporary entertainment of a few bad people.  Now let's change the setting. T...

  It's the Man inside and not the Suit. The suit does not make You Iron Man. You do. - The kid to Tony Stark in Iron Man 3 And then, in the marvel Spiderman movie, you have Iron Man telling something similar to Spiderman ... "If You are nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it" The SUIT is your Position, your Designation, your Seat at the Table. While that adds your influence; that's not what makes You. That's not where your Power lies. If you are nothing without your Designation, then you shouldn't have it. As a Leader, you create your own influence and impact. Its YOU who does that and you should not be dependant on your position to do it for you. Or as Anupam Kher said to Akshay Kumar, "Asli Power Dil main hoti hain" (The real power resides in your heart) #CoachHemant #FridayMusings #LeadershipDevelopment

  TODAY, March 20 was established as the annual International Day of #Happiness by the United Nations General Assembly back in 2012 and all 193 United Nations member states have adopted a resolution calling for happiness to be given greater priority. So what exactly is the International Day of Happiness?  It's a day to be happy, of course! duh! Happiness is a fundamental human goal.  The UN General Assembly recognizes this  goal and calls for “a more inclusive, equitable  and balanced approach to economic growth that  promotes the happiness and well-being of all peoples” It aims to make people around the world realize the  importance of happiness within their lives;  while focussed on global economics. In my experience, contrary to popular belief and perception, Happiness is being taken pretty seriously.  I worked at Landmark Group from 2016 to 2020 (best time of my career). Landmark had the 'Happiness Movement' led by Nisha Jagtiani and a de...
