There is no secret ingredient

Actually, today I'm not prepared to reflect on my learning about the last lecture session of MOB. But, I'm writing this today? its because of a small event/incident that unfurled at the tail end of the day. One of my reportee was posting the weekly update in a call with the client, my intuition said to me that the client is not getting the concept that he is trying to explain, if I interrupt him, then I'm sure his flow would be broken so I passed on a message asking him to do a demo, by that means she will get the crux right. She agreed to the demo but due to lack of time, she asked for the demo after an hour or so. 

Why would I need to tell all these stories? and what is so fascinating about this story and why I wanted it to reflect on my learning now? 

  • After an hour and 30 minutes, he posted me saying the client was really happy with what he was doing.
  • A call after that message and the outcome of the call.
This guy is a talented guy but he often gets into some kind of loop for various reasons which were actually hindering his growth (in fact I have gone through a lot of questions and I have also asked a lot to myself particularly when it comes to appraisal cycle as I always wanted to make sure I don't show any favoritism to him all because of we both are part of same lunch gang, I was one among the panel who selected him, give him lots of coaching tips..........). 

Every time when I speak I get this question within me, "What's making him get into the loops?" here are the answers that would flash all time:
  • Too many worries about the future
  • Feeling bad about the past decisions
  • Trying to solve a problem that has not even hit him yet
But why?

From my perspective, I felt that he was not approaching things in a holistic manner. So how should I help him? I should set something that could change his behavior which will eventually help him realize that no one can induce Out of Box Thinking, it is a process that will evolve as we experience things. Oops all this buzz words I happen to recollect Prof. Viji was sawing the same, infact more than these which I lost as I was trying to connect some dots in the class/session related to

 That's when I realized that I should complete my reflection on Systems thinking😂😂😂😂 and I thought I'll capitalize on this incident as much as possible.


What are my key takeaways from the Systems Thinking session:

  • Helps us to approach a problem in a holistic way
  • A lateral thinking tool
  • Will help us to think beyond the ability
  • Facilitates Out of the box thinking
  • Help us evolve constantly
  • Of course It Will help us to identify the purpose
What should I do to improve myself?

Practice, Practice, Practice as much as possible so that I convert a collection into a system that realizes its purpose.  

As this is my last reflective journal I wanted to present this moment from Kung Fu Panda movie,


In fact, I was prepared to present this moment as a conclusion note in MOB everywhere (unfortunately, due to lack of flow preparation and time I could not do that) but, I have got a chance to use it in my RLJ conclusion notes. What I'm trying to reflect on at this moment? 

Sometimes in our life despite having everything that we wish to have, we don't realize the purpose or the potential. To realize them we need a pinch of salt which can never be secret ingredient. We need to belive in ourself and identify the purpose and acheive the same.

What's RLJ & Why RLJ?

What is RLJ? RLJ, is one of the acronym that I'm connected to the most when compared to other acronyms in my life span, each and every cells in my body is aware of what is RLJ and what made RLJ a unique. RLJ is a symbol of trust that's been developed/built from the scratch for about 6-7 decades, I'm sure developing trust is one of the most hard part in this world and maintaining that same trust also requires same amount of contributions. Though RLJ is very much associated to my family, when I wanted to choose my carrier I have decided not get into RLJ for a while and I'm still staying away from it. Why I'm stay away? when it has its own charisma,  because of the obsession & possessiveness that my father and grandfather holds with it and during my late teens & early 20's I was a bit skeptical to get myself associated along with them, as they had devoted their life entirely for it without any rest or entertainment thinking only to get RLJ running in full t...

Roller Coaster

  Just imagine the following scene and try to imagine the feelings that you would have for each and every step when you take a roller coaster ride: You're in an amusement park and you see a very good roller coaster, You have decided to take that ride and standing in the queue, Your turn comes and you brace yourself with the belts, The Roller coaster starts with a jerk, Slowly moving towards the peak and stops for a while in between, Then with a jerk moves to the peak and stops for free fall, Here comes a twist and turns, ups and downs,  Finally stops. Phew!!!!!! Hope you have imagined the feelings in each and every step, For me it goes like this typically,  Love to get into the ride Curious & Excited Anxious Fear Afraid Joy + Fun Entertainment  That's it???????? During my 10th session of MOB, Prof. Viji was not, as usual, she used to be in the class, all of a sudden she started to behave like a school teacher, blasted almost more than half of the class, and left ...

Follow your Heart.

  Let me start with a flashback, will rewind to 22 years back, A day before my 10th public exams results (as I promised, in my first blog I'm covering this incident here). Of course, it was the summer holiday and I have completed my class 10th public exams, what would I be doing? I was playing in the streets in the evening and I was also learning the business from my grad father during mornings and after lunch also, roam in my chariot ( TVS 50) . My day came home from the shop more than usual, I had no clues why he is stepping out of the shop when there is a customer. In by evening I noticed the same behavior he stepped in-home and on curious I followed him to see why he is at home. He rushed and I happen to notice that he had a loose motion that day. The cause for it was me😜when he saw me at the home he asked are you not worried about your results? As I was an average student in the class with very bad handwriting he concluded that I may not pass and I'll give him a bad reput...
