#CelebrateingtheRainbow at the workplace – share your stories of Pride!
Every year, at the end of December, we start making a list to be fulfilled in the upcoming year. This month, let’s attempt something different as compared to the previous years.
Build a new vision and construct a purpose for your precious life. Focus on that one thing and bring a revolutionary change. It is therefore important to plan for a revolution and not insubstantial resolutions !
“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” —Mark Twain.
‘Knowledge is Wealth’ is a well-known quote, isn’t it? However, there is a huge difference between knowing and applying! Information is the greatest asset one can possess. Keep learning and upgrading yourself. It is possible to make a fortune out of the knowledge you retain. Start investing in self development books, watch videos that have immense learnings about your field, listen to the podcasts of successful entrepreneurs , attend educational conferences, seminars and workshops.
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
Remember, 365 Days = 365 Learnings . This can be in the form of your experiences, failures, or even encounters with new people.
Prepare a special learning book to note down all the amazing lessons you come across each day! This will not only help you keep track of your consistency but also help improve your writing skills. If you inculcate the habit of learning one new thing everyday, it will definitely help you achieve excellence in your endeavours.
“Legends are Lifelong Learners.”
Find mentors who will train you and help you understand human behaviour in depth. It is said that any business is 80% psychology and 20% mechanics. When you raise your awareness about what drives your customers, you tend to focus more on giving your best and generating profits. If you are serious about scaling your business, make sure you devote time to learn human psychology.
“To influence another human being, you must know what already influences them” – Tony Robbins
Human birth is a miracle. We are all born to make a phenomenal significance in this world. It is absolutely possible to do something unconventional. So let’s attempt to challenge ourselves and do atleast one new thing in 2017 which will inspire millions of people around the world. It is better to be extraordinary rather than just being ordinary, isnt it?
“If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.” ― Thomas Jefferson
Wishing all of you consistent, incredible success in 2017. Be extraordinary and grow your legacy!

What lessons will we learn from the wrestlers' protest? Will the young girls have the courage to speak up against evil after they hear the deafening silence of support for the Betis?
On the 28th of May, Indian wrestlers Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat, Sangeeta Phogat, Bajrang Punia and others were forcibly evicted from their protest site at Jantar Mantar. They were arrested, and severe charges were slapped against them.
Newspapers, that a few years ago, had carried photographs of these wrestlers proudly holding their medals draped in the Indian flag, were now splashed with photographs of these wrestlers being forcibly dragged into police buses. The wrestlers were protesting against Brij Bhushan Singh, an MP and president of the Wrestling Foundation of India, accusing him of sexual misconduct.
A similar case of molestation rocked US gymnastics a few years ago, where Larry Nassar, the team doctor, was accused and finally convicted of sexual abuse. The victims included Olympic medallist Simone Biles. During the trial, several lapses by the USAG and MSU in investigating the accusations came in front.
My supervisor introduced me as a valuable member of the team, emphasizing my skills and contributions rather than focusing on my gender identity. This simple act set the tone for my experience in the workplace.
As a transwoman navigating the corporate world, I had encountered my fair share of discrimination and challenges. Transitioning without the support of my parents and having limited friendships in my personal life made the journey difficult and lonely. However, when I stepped into the office, something remarkable happened, I left behind the stress and negativity, embracing a space where I could truly be myself.
Joining the marketing team as a graphic designer, I was initially apprehensive about how my colleagues would react to my gender identity. But to my surprise, the atmosphere was welcoming and respectful from day one. My supervisor, Sarah, introduced me as a valuable member of the team, emphasizing my skills and contributions rather than focusing on my gender identity. This simple act set the tone for my experience in the workplace.
As I settled into my role, I discovered that my colleagues went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and included. They consistently used my correct name and pronouns, creating an environment where I could be authentically me. Being an introvert, making friends wasn’t always easy for me, but within this workplace, I found a supportive community that embraced me for who I truly am. The workplace became a haven where I could escape the stresses of my personal life and focus on my professional growth.
