My first 23years I have not achieved any of the goals that I wanted and which was significant for me. Life changed after that and I began to understand myself better and how I could go about managing my strengths and move myself from Inertia and practice what helped me develop some powerful habits. Yes I did read many different books and confided in people who eventually became my gurus. My two year MBA program gave me insights and I began to challenge myself.
I read many book, the seven habits , the eight habit, books on Presence, Meditation etc. Got exposed to EQ and its different competencies, Workshops on how to motivate Teams and manage companies, Leadership at the Peak and many such events. I did learn from each book and every workshop and development intervention that I undertook . It was always very refreshing and energizing as I was Learning. Later I learnt from David Rock's SCARF model that learning helps raise ones Status and I was enjoying it. I did try to put in to practice all that I learnt and was eager to test the hypothesis.
Some of it stayed with me and most of it was lost in my journey forward. I often though it is true for most interventions, and took it as a way of life. Often I wondered, if in life is there something close to a value dear to me. "Keep It simple". In the past we had a calculator , a telephone a calendar, a typewriter, a note book / pad, a dictionary, etc., and today it is all in one Operating system. There are different OS you could choose from and it made Life simple.(at least we think so). Is there an OS which is simple and can be used in many different and almost all situations in Life? I wish I had a Coach.
Good conceptualisation. Crisply puts forward a thought that most climbing the corporate ladder would have at some juncture.
