Celebration as you move forward

It comes a time as an individual or an organization where we are pulled to grow. For an individual the time comes when they are faced with an opportunity that will make them step outside their comfort zone. For an organization, it may come when a key individual stands in their truth and makes a decision to move forward.

How do you feel when you are called to step into truth of what your next steps may be? Are you scared, frightened and worried about what others may say? Yes this happens within organizations as well. Organizations have feelings and identities. Many times clients and relationships are built with a person within the organization and not the organization themselves. If the individual decides to leave they may take a part of the organization with them.

For an individual it is important to remember that everything happens for the best. When are given the opportunity to grow, take a deep breath and remember what your strengths are.

For an organization, the management team must stay in a place of open communication, being pro-active and not reactive. The organization should have plans in place to have that key individual’s relationships be introduced to other people in the organization so that the relationship is with the organization and not the person. It is possible to build relationships with organizations, as long as the culture of the organization is collaborative and community building. What is the culture of your organization like?

Step into the next stage of your life with solid foundations based on trust within yourself.

Embrace yourself while working in a group

Group coaching allows us to look at ourselves in a different way as we listen to stories, lessons and questions from others.

Yes, it is true, people show us what we can not see in ourselves sometimes.

This will make you take responsibility for who you are and how you act.

It makes it easier to be who you really are as you see yourself from a third person point of view.

Embrace yourself is a 4-week Tele-call series where you hear about different topics, be lead through meditations and are able to ask questions. If you miss a call, it’s recorded.

Here’s the link to the program coming May 7th! Early Bird is until April 16th with a small investment of $97.

Quality content, quality learning and a better summer quality YOU!

Is it work when you are having fun?

What is it that you notice about this picture? There is lots of people and a little boy dancing as the obvious. What emotion do you see in the boy?

I am seeing alot of joy, passion and celebration. He is having fun.

As I was prepping for this Media launch of the Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration Society(VIBC) City of Bhangra festival 2012 (www.cityof bhangra.com), I realized I was having fun with my role in this organization. I have been with VIBC for the last 6 years in various roles from event coordinator to operations to festival production to grant writer to tresaurer to vice-chair. I have grown as a professional and personally from my experience with the organization. The best part is I am only with the organization because I have fun. I feel passion and joy and I meet like-minded individuals.

This is a volunteer role. I used to have a belief that I couldnt have fun and enjoy what I do because life is struggle and work. In the past year with my own business, I know there is space for fun, passion and joy while earning money.

How can you have more fun in your career? Are you having fun now or do you need a change?

Women Run the World

In celebration of International Women’s Day

Beyonce has the right vision of how Women should run the world. Women are know to be in touch with their emotions which makes them exceptional leaders. Women have been leaders in different capacities around the world. I recently came across the Guide to Women Leaders http://www.guide2womenleaders.com/, which lists all women leaders in politics over time. This site was a blessing to see.

The fact that women are running the world in different ways, makes me feel proud to be a women. Recently I have been researching and reading about how throughout history women have always helped men lead empires and religions. The women were the silent leaders. They led through “advising” the men on what actions to take. As I was researching more on the history of the Taj Mahal (which is made in honor of a women), I came to learn that Mumtaz Mahal has been said to be the power behind Emperor Shah Jahan. The thought comes to mind, how many women have been truly in power but were hidden from the public eye?

It is wonderful to see that now women are coming to the forefront and claiming their place in society. the Forbes Most Powerful Women. This list is complete with women who are current leaders in business and politics. I was slightly disappointed that in the Forbes billionaire list have inherited the wealth (Wal-Mart, Loreal are in the top twenty - www.forbes.com). I would have loved to see women entrepreneurs and leaders to have been on this list on their own accord. I know that in time that is the direction we are heading in but it has taken centuries to arrive to even this place.

What are you doing in your life to contribute to women running the world? How are you supporting your passion to contribute to this movement?
