I Urge to share many tips to ensure high productivity and work-life balance by keeping health on top of everything as priority.

Tip2 : How I manage Team Collaboration and Handle Global Projects :

1. Trust the Team and self: I always trust myself and trust my team by respective each individual opinion, ideas and suggestions. This helped me redefine, reimagine the priorities on a broader perspective and provide solutions to problems, enhancing user experience and stakeholder satisfactions globally. Active Listening is one of the most critical parameters here without any pre-judgement node.
2. Be Clear on the Requirement: As a Business Project Manager it is always my prime responsibility to understand the requirement, setting right context, setting clear expectations for the stakeholders and IT team to ensure everyone is sailing on the same boat with proper alignment and objective. Detailed due diligence and fit gap analysis is the approach which helps me focus on the As-IS to To-Be process in the Journey of redefining the process, business priority, Technology landscape and Agile methodology to achieve the project success. I involve the entire team to ensure everyone understands the implications and Impact of the project overall and avoid silos work culture.
3. Recognize the efforts too not just results: I always go with this approach, we must appreciate and encourage the team or individual for their efforts, sometimes there can be a mistake or failure but that should not stop a project manager from recognizing the efforts the team has put in. Mistakes do happen but what is more important is not to repeat the same mistakes again anytime. Learning is a continuous journey, and we learn from each other - No discrimination Senior or Junior ultimately achieving common objective is the priority

On the Personal Front, I have the following two achievements which makes me feel happy that I am doing some progress step by step in my life :

• Constructed floor -1 for my independent house which I purchased 5 years back, there were lot of challenges faced by me and my wife to complete this project. It started in 2020 during the Pandemic situations and we don't want to drop it in middle. Here the credit goes to my wife who took the responsibility to ensure the completion of the house within a Years' time. she took care of raw material purchase, vendor contract, Pricing and commercials, Loan management and resource management along with her I was just supporting where needed. With this effective collaboration we were able to complete the project and stepped in end of 2021. Here main learning for us is that we can start anything but what is more critical is to not give up in the middle, challenges do come our way, but we must overcome it by collaboration and proper understanding to achieve the success collectively
• Tata Tiago Car was Purchased: I was always looking out to learn car driving, but the time has come in 2022. Successfully purchased a second hand car and also Passed the driving test recently December 2022, awaiting my License to have more travelling with family, long drives. Crucial learning for me here is never let down the passion, it may take time to fulfill your dream but have a consistent step by step approach to attain your goals in life.

Here you can see how my daughter is excited and explaining some features of the Car. Nowadays kids are very smart and quick learners.
