Thank you very much for MC, for

14
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:59,000
So if you can just start, you
know, telling the audience a
15
00:00:59,008 --> 00:01:03,500
little bit about yourself.
Your background and your areas
16
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:07,100
of expertise, absolutely my
mother, that's probably a great
17
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:11,100
to be here on your show and I
thank you for the invite little
18
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:13,700
background about me originally
born in India.
19
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:16,800
Been living in u.s. for almost
20 years now.
20
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:21,700
And if you want any time like an
India, there are only like a
21
00:01:21,708 --> 00:01:24,000
three things that you can do.
Whether you could be an
22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,800
engineer, you could be a doctor
or could be a failure, so
23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,600
definitely don't want to be a
failure and I don't Have passion
24
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,900
for becoming a doctor's became
an engineer.
25
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:40,800
And I spent like first 20 years
of my time on technology started
26
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,600
as a programmer back in India.
Those mid 90s late 90s and about
27
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,500
to Singapore.
Will you there for some time
28
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:51,200
that can do you ask?
And yeah, that does my
29
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,400
background about.
I started enjoying this
30
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,800
computers and like a programming
journey in this process.
31
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,700
I realized that a lot of times I
was working on writing programs
32
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:05,800
for computers, but what about
the programming for us?
33
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,200
What are the things that we are
help us to do better to become a
34
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,700
better human being.
So I started researching, I
35
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:17,600
started spending so much time on
studying how human beings works.
36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,900
Why?
Some people are getting so many
37
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:22,700
good results.
Other people are settling for
38
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,800
average life.
So that is where my curiosity
39
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,800
started.
And I started going to events
40
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,800
like Tony Robbins Brennan
butcher.
41
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:30,900
Dropping sure.
Irma.
42
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,800
All the powerful leaders in the
world and I started seeing the
43
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,900
pattern and the same pattern
that I do it.
44
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:40,500
In the programming side, how
about I apply the same pattern
45
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:44,200
to myself and all the people
around me and I started my
46
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,900
leadership coaching DNA there.
So, that's, that's a very
47
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,300
high-level background of where I
started from and where I'm
48
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:52,700
heading to wants.
And it's been about like a five
49
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:56,200
years Muhammad.
I mean, this year, me and the
50
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,000
past best five years of my life.
Wow, that's impressive.
51
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:05,800
And we stood, you know, like at
some stage and everyone, you
52
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,900
know, they they would stop to
think little bit about, you
53
00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:12,100
know, what day, where they are
in their careers to the, you
54
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:15,400
know what, they want to achieve
for you.
55
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:17,900
And I'm asking this because
majority of the audience are
56
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:20,800
people, whether in technology or
business, right?
57
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:26,300
From your experience, because
you've been on this journey,
58
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,700
When was that moment that you
said you know what I need to to
59
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:35,900
do this leap, right.
And I need to shift to the next
60
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:38,500
level.
Well like how really you felt
61
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:41,600
that you need to do this.
Absolutely.
62
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
So everyone gets this kind of
like a pivotal moments in their
63
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
life.
I got it like a multiple pivots
64
00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:52,900
throughout my journey.
So when I moved into management
65
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:56,200
side from technology like a
programmer, to the architect to
66
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,700
the manager.
ER, so one day I had an
67
00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:03,100
opportunity to present my vision
to entire audience, like about
68
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:06,800
entire organization that point.
Like I was, I was like really
69
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,300
bad at my communication and I
bombed on the stage and I
70
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:14,300
realized, oh my God, like I'm
really bad at this.
71
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,500
I really wanted to start
improving.
72
00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:18,300
I started putting like a lot of
effort.
73
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:19,800
A lot of like a time.
When you go with my
74
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,100
communication at the same time,
I was growing my personal
75
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:28,000
development investment every
time I Maybe hundred dollars on
76
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,500
my personal growth.
It's giving me back thousand
77
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:33,400
dollars every time I spend more,
I'm getting more.
78
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,600
So that's that's the starting
point of my Pivot and your name.
79
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:42,400
And in this process I became
really, really good with my
80
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:45,600
leadership and I started leading
people at one point.
81
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,100
I had like more than 150 direct
reports working for me.
82
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:52,100
So I'm like, pretty much like
multiple parts of the world and
83
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:55,500
I was going good in the
corporate career, but I'm
84
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:58,900
noticing at the point.
Like so not the path.
85
00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:03,000
I really wanted to go lot of
people wearing masks in the
86
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,300
corporate and they are not
really authentic to themselves.
87
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:09,000
They're just like a doing it
because they are boss asked them
88
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,400
to do it and I realized like
this is not the path I wanted to
89
00:05:12,408 --> 00:05:16,700
do really wanted to just like a
true to myself really wanted to
90
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,400
spend time on what I really like
about and I started like a
91
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,100
helping people who are around me
that gave me so much
92
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:28,400
satisfaction.
This is like The reminder that
93
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:33,500
we all need to keep in our mind.
Success, without fulfillment is
94
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,300
Ultimate failure.
I want to repeat that again.
95
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:40,700
Success, without fulfillment is
Ultimate cellular, if you are
96
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:43,700
security a wedding, like all the
success from your corporate
97
00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:46,700
career, but you are not sold
inside.
98
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:49,100
Guess what?
Maybe there is something more
99
00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:51,000
that you can do.
It doesn't have to be on the
100
00:05:51,008 --> 00:05:52,800
corporate side.
It doesn't have to be on the
101
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,200
technology side.
There is something like that, we
102
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,700
can go and help kids You can go
and do some volunteer work so
103
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:03,100
you can go and start like maybe
a different path that you always
104
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:05,400
wanted to do.
So there are many possibilities
105
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,100
once you step into that.
So that was a pivotal moment,
106
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:10,600
like the moment I started having
people.
107
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,300
I was getting so much
satisfaction and my coaching
108
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:16,300
Journey started there.
Wow, that's really, really
109
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:20,100
impressive vamsee and this
brings to me the question, the
110
00:06:20,108 --> 00:06:24,700
next question, a lot of people
in business and I gained a
111
00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:26,500
focusing a little bit on Tech
here.
112
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,400
Maybe they have this bad idea
about what is leadership and
113
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,000
they think like leadership is
just managing people, you know
114
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,100
what, like I wanted to share
from your experience because
115
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:42,300
you've passed it.
All right.
116
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:45,300
So are you share that you
started with the like a
117
00:06:45,308 --> 00:06:49,400
developer and then architect,
then to the managerial position.
118
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:55,600
So, how our let me say, what do
you tell, you know, fellow
119
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,400
people who works today?
And Technology specifically and
120
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,800
in general as well about what
Israeli leadership?
121
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,000
Absolutely.
So leadership is lot of people
122
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,500
think that because it comes from
Authority, which comes from the
123
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:12,600
title, which comes in a big
office space policy, that is not
124
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,800
leadership.
Leadership is all about like,
125
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,500
who you are, who you are be in
this, current moment, we are
126
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:21,700
being when you're talking to the
security guard of your company
127
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,800
that is exactly what you should
be.
128
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,300
Is it doesn't have to be, don't
have to be a vice president of
129
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:29,300
Technology.
You are a big manager with the
130
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,800
lot of Select titles on your
background?
131
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:34,600
No, it's about like a hub.
You're treating the problem.
132
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,000
What kind of energy that you are
taking it to?
133
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,800
The problem?
Are you doing?
134
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:43,600
What you are saying it to other
people?
135
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,400
Are you walking the talk blog
people?
136
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,400
They they just say all these
things when it comes to them,
137
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:51,200
they are not implementing those
things.
138
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:53,000
They're pushing the team
members.
139
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
You need to go for extra mile.
You need to do extra work, but
140
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000
are you really Really Jack.
So it is commits comes back to
141
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,700
one single word.
Muhammad.
142
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:04,500
Its Integrity.
What you are doing.
143
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:09,100
When nobody's watching, there is
exactly what leadership.
144
00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:12,600
And if you start observing that,
if you start stepping either,
145
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,200
you don't need to have a title
right now.
146
00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:18,900
You can be okay developer, you
can be a technician, you can be
147
00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:23,000
an engineer right now, but you
can start behaving like a CEO of
148
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,900
your company.
You need to start like maybe
149
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:28,900
different angle different.
Your mind and start asking like
150
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,600
what would my see would do in
this situation and you step into
151
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,600
that role unconsciously and you
do the word?
152
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,500
And you guess what?
You become the good leader
153
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:41,400
people will start looking up to
you.
154
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,000
People will start seeing like
who you are and this is this is
155
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,900
one beautiful quote from Steve
Jobs, everyone, no Discord.
156
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:54,500
This is this is the phenomenon.
Every interaction that you are
157
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:56,500
going to have with other human
being.
158
00:08:56,700 --> 00:09:00,300
Either you are depositing
something or withdrawing
159
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:04,600
something every interaction that
you're having with other human
160
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,300
beings either you are
depositing.
161
00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:10,200
Something into your leadership
account, your brand account or
162
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,100
you're withdrawing something
that interaction could be with
163
00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:15,900
your security guard with your
manager.
164
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,100
With your CEO, may be with your
wife, husband, may be with your
165
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:23,500
kids, if the interaction you
ship is not just in the
166
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:25,500
corporate side, it's in your
home.
167
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,800
Are you being really good?
Leader are you walking the talk?
168
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:33,200
Are you really showing them?
What is possible through your
169
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,700
actions?
Or you're just like, maybe only
170
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:40,000
the top guy is, your video is
matching your audio.
171
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,300
If your video is not matching
your audio, there is a great
172
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:46,500
opportunity for you to just and
just that.
173
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:48,900
So that's that's, that's the
leadership.
174
00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:50,800
That's like lot of people don't
talk about it.
175
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,500
That is where all the magic
happens.
176
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:57,200
If you look at like a successful
people, they all have this thing
177
00:09:57,300 --> 00:10:01,800
is foundation completely
integrated into every part of
178
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,800
their body.
The capelet, he does like Steve
179
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,000
Jobs like look at like Nelson
Mandela or Mahatma Gandhi which
180
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:14,600
these people we have this
installed and you can do that.
181
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,900
Success is all about modeling
other successful people.
182
00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:21,700
Yeah.
And this brings you know to to
183
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:25,300
my mind the next question, there
must be a place to stay.
184
00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:27,800
I know the answer but I want to
hear it from you.
185
00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:31,200
Well, does this journey start
like?
186
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,200
I mean when is really If someone
decides okay, like I want to
187
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,300
embark on this journey and I
want to be doing, you know, or
188
00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:45,000
fulfilling, as you said what I'm
supposed to do in in in in my
189
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,300
job, in my career, in my life,
where does this journey starts?
190
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:52,500
It starts, it all starts with
who you are.
191
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,300
You can start where you are
right now, completely taking
192
00:10:56,300 --> 00:10:59,500
100% responsibility of your
life.
193
00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:02,100
Eight hundred percent
responsibility.
194
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:04,400
Don't be the person who blame
other person.
195
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,200
Blame wife, blame husband, plane
parents live here.
196
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,100
It's no take 100% responsibility
right now.
197
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:15,600
In this moment I'm going to be
taking ownership of my life and
198
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,500
start stepping into the role of
see work.
199
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,100
I always tell all of my clients
were made.
200
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:24,900
You are the CEO of your life.
Nobody else.
201
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:27,500
Lot of times people think like
somebody's going to come and
202
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:29,700
save me, nobody's going to save
you.
203
00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:33,400
You're the only person you have
to save yourself, so start where
204
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,500
you are.
It start with your help.
205
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,700
Think about the leadership is
not just on the technology on
206
00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:41,100
the management side.
Are you showing leadership on
207
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:43,500
your help?
Ask yourself like a, what are
208
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:46,300
the things?
The best leader would do in my
209
00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:48,900
current situation?
You may be a little overweight,
210
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:51,400
maybe a little underweight,
maybe you're going through some
211
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,400
long term things.
What would this best leader do
212
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:57,500
and show that?
There is the best thing.
213
00:11:57,500 --> 00:12:01,100
The moment you start that
tackling that have problems, lot
214
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:04,300
of other problems automatically
will be clear for you.
215
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:07,200
Once you complete the help,
going to the relationship side,
216
00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:11,200
what is the best leader do in my
relationship relationship with
217
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,200
your partner relationship, with
your team, members relationship
218
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,700
with your friends.
What would that person do?
219
00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:20,000
Am I showing that leadership?
What kind of words that I'm
220
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,400
using one?
I'm talking to that.
221
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:24,600
What kind of language I'm using?
So, what kind of communication
222
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,500
that I'm sharing this?
Am I sharing this?
223
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:29,000
Positive things.
I'm assuring the - thanks.
224
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,700
Am I doing all the gossips or
I'm an inspiring people?
225
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,600
That is the second step.
Number 3, go into your career
226
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,700
and start asking, what would my
longer-term vision looks like,
227
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,000
do you have a vision for the
next 10 years?
228
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,300
It's 15 years.
Next, 20 years, spend some time
229
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,700
ride on.
If you go to a company, all the
230
00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:55,200
companies, big, big Corporation,
they have their Vision, that's
231
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,300
reason, they're able to To go at
attack those Visions for you.
232
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:01,100
Do you have the vision for
yourself?
233
00:13:01,900 --> 00:13:05,900
If you don't guess what?
If there is no target, how do
234
00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:08,200
you know where to hit that
rocket?
235
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,600
Right, so if you don't see
something, you can't hit it.
236
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,600
So obvious, like a have that
Vision in front of you for your
237
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,400
career and the final final
component, materials about your
238
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,800
contribution and acting back to
the spiritual, connecting back
239
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,200
to the superpower.
Why you are here.
240
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:30,200
What are you contributing?
Am I just like taking my Life
241
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,900
For Me?
Maybe?
242
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:36,500
Or am I using this life to
donate something back to the
243
00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:38,300
world?
It's may not be in the money.
244
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:40,700
Maybe.
Knowledge, maybe you're tired,
245
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:43,700
maybe resources that you have
with the people on the other
246
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:45,800
side of the world, they don't
have those resources.
247
00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:49,600
So all these areas not just like
all the technology not just on
248
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,300
the management side, there are
like multiple areas of
249
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:55,400
leadership that you can start
implementing and you can start
250
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,800
seeing that.
And this is, this is, this is
251
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,900
how you need to balance your
dealership.
252
00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:04,300
You need to balance your life
and you need to do do more fun
253
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:09,000
things.
Yeah, that's great Insight out.
254
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:14,900
I'd say the next question.
I want to ask you like, of
255
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:19,300
course, we put the foundation.
We know, well the start point is
256
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,800
but like anything else we need
to be empowered with some tools.
257
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:31,900
We need to be empowered with
some, you know, ways to achieve
258
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:34,300
this.
So you, you came to something
259
00:14:34,300 --> 00:14:39,000
very important is actually and I
like to, it's from Simon.
260
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:40,900
Cynic, like Define your why,
right?
261
00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:44,300
So we need to have your why?
So you define your why, and now
262
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:48,300
you're going there, what you
would need down the road to
263
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:51,400
reach this way.
Jump ship.
264
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,400
Always remember.
These are light, is almost like
265
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,700
a buffet when you go to a
buffet.
266
00:14:57,500 --> 00:15:00,900
If you just go and pick only one
item from the bucket, Buffet,
267
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:03,900
every single time, when you go
there, you're not doing Justice
268
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:08,000
to the ba ba.
So Buffet means you have so many
269
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,100
things available to you, so you
need to start experimenting
270
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:16,400
things if you are thinking this
is the only part that I have.
271
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,500
How do you know what are the
things that are available?
272
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,400
Just take an example of a
mountain bike Mountain Bike.
273
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,700
Got ten gears 90% of the people
they're using the default gear.
274
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,000
They don't even know.
There are more dies Available to
275
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:33,800
You On That Mountain by.
So start exploring the themes
276
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:36,400
ask yourself like what are the
things that It really, really
277
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,900
brings you happiness and start
spending some time.
278
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,200
How can I just make this my
bigger purpose in this life?
279
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,200
How can I make?
Like maybe this like more time
280
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,800
on this?
How can I spend more energy on
281
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,700
this?
The moment you start spending
282
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:54,000
that in the moment, you start
believing that you're going to
283
00:15:54,008 --> 00:15:56,400
be finding that if you are
sitting on hands you're not
284
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,500
moving anywhere.
It is not going to come and fall
285
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:01,600
on your lap.
You need to step out of your
286
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,600
comfort zone you to start taking
those extra steps to see what
287
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:07,700
Things that are available to you
in the buffet.
288
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,600
So the moment you go there, you
will fight those days.
289
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:18,000
Yeah, that's that's also great
to hear now, one of the things
290
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,900
you do vamsee usually is like
other than coaching fellow
291
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:28,200
technology and business people
about, you know, leadership.
292
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:33,100
So one thing which we discussed
me and you before is regarding,
293
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:37,700
you know how to turn.
Their knowledge right to
294
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:43,200
something that they we can start
something when they start up.
295
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,700
Maybe they would offer it as a
service and so on.
296
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:50,900
So I'm pretty little bit curious
about, you know, this area that
297
00:16:50,900 --> 00:16:56,600
that also you work with the with
your clients on, absolutely,
298
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,000
absolutely.
First of all, I help people to
299
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,600
break that invisible glass
ceiling.
300
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,099
Lot of people, they install some
ceiling on their own I think
301
00:17:06,099 --> 00:17:09,700
like I cannot exceed more than
that more than that.
302
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,000
So for example you are a manager
or not you're making maybe fifty
303
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,800
thousand dollars a year, maybe a
hundred thousand dollars a year
304
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,500
and you think oh it's impossible
for me to go beyond hundred
305
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:23,900
fifty thousand dollars a year
who said that that is like a lot
306
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:27,599
of times we install it and we
just sit inside the Rocks.
307
00:17:28,099 --> 00:17:30,400
There are so many people who are
making seven hundred eight
308
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,500
hundred thousand dollars in
terms of the compensation for
309
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:35,300
the same work that you are
doing.
310
00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:38,200
The moment you start seeing
those possibilities.
311
00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:41,000
You are not going to be sitting
in the Box, you're going to be
312
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,700
start.
Seeing the, what can I do?
313
00:17:43,700 --> 00:17:45,600
What is my next step?
How can I reach there?
314
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:49,100
It's not just about the numbers,
it's about the possibilities.
315
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:51,300
Same with your help.
What are the things like?
316
00:17:51,300 --> 00:17:53,500
Lot of people, things, all my
dad has diabetes.
317
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,600
Madam, my mom, got this.
My grandmother got this.
318
00:17:56,900 --> 00:17:59,500
I'm going to get this now, you
can change it.
319
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:03,400
The moment you start moving on
from that zone like a default
320
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,300
Zone.
You can Define What about that?
321
00:18:06,300 --> 00:18:09,800
You want?
So good going into this house.
322
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,500
Everybody can start doing this
number one thing that I always
323
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:19,700
advise all of my clients my
method is visibility is
324
00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:24,100
profitability.
Visibility is profitability, no
325
00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:28,000
matter how good you are.
If you are not visible to the
326
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,700
world, how would somebody go
your talents?
327
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:34,600
If my Smith you are sitting in
your garage and Alexei?
328
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,800
Oh, I don't want to do.
Do this podcast?
329
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,800
How would World know about you?
The reason like, you and I are
330
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:44,200
talking even though 10,000 miles
away a reason because you are
331
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,700
visible.
And I am visible.
332
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,100
That is the number one thing.
You need to be visible, no
333
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:50,900
matter what you are doing, you
are an engineer or maybe a
334
00:18:50,900 --> 00:18:54,400
programmer.
You are a manager starts
335
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,900
showcasing your skills to the
world.
336
00:18:57,100 --> 00:19:00,200
People will notice that people
will realize, that all there is
337
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,200
somebody who's locked talented
here.
338
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,700
So start showing up.
That's that's the fact was, I
339
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:10,900
would you tell anyone, you know,
like thank you very much for
340
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:15,300
mentioning this and it's kind of
if I can contribute little bit.
341
00:19:15,300 --> 00:19:19,400
I know like usually I don't talk
when I have guests, but if the
342
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,300
audience will allow me, and if
you allow me when see about
343
00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:30,100
showing up, you know, like it's
100% true fact, because you
344
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:34,700
might be the most genius.
Hello / programmer in the world,
345
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:37,800
you might be the best.
I don't know and Visionary.
346
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,500
You can you can you know, draw
strategies for for Fortune 100
347
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:44,600
companies but no one knows you,
right?
348
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,300
So if you don't show in front of
people because I'm sharing this
349
00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:53,200
from my own experience and I
used to just write it on my
350
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,600
notebook and at used to die.
They write it used to after a
351
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,400
while.
You know what?
352
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,200
I'm not doing this.
But really I like to touch on
353
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,000
this because Cuz this is one of
the things that pushed me also
354
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,500
to later on, do the podcast is
to encourage other people to do
355
00:20:11,500 --> 00:20:13,500
the same.
Like don't keep it, don't keep
356
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:16,800
it with you, right?
So that's you know, I thank you
357
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,400
for bringing this and I think
you did the same thing when I'm
358
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,800
said so because when we
discussed the other type about
359
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,100
you know, how yourself, you
know, you are in the the itu
360
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:29,600
know like and ask people to
working in technology you have
361
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,300
seen at the introverts and the
Geeks, right?
362
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:36,500
They don't and this is would
bring the second question.
363
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:39,100
How we can break this?
How we can break that.
364
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:42,200
Yeah, like this tech people,
they are introverts, they don't
365
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,200
have the communication skills.
Some people say, oh, you know
366
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,100
what?
Like I'm afraid to go and you
367
00:20:48,108 --> 00:20:51,200
mentioned something now.
So, I need your advice about
368
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:58,000
like, how we can break this.
I would say, I call it a virtual
369
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,900
wall, or like a fiction Airy
wall, how we can break this and
370
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:03,400
just go in front.
Out of people.
371
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:07,200
Sure.
So the easily to do this, like a
372
00:21:07,208 --> 00:21:11,900
start something small and start
immediately, don't wait for a
373
00:21:11,908 --> 00:21:14,400
perfect moment.
If you just like, maybe bought a
374
00:21:14,408 --> 00:21:18,500
new camera and the first 50
pictures of that camera is not
375
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:22,800
going to be that great.
After 50, you're going to get
376
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,600
beautiful picture, the be 55
even better, maybe hundreds.
377
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,300
You're going to have a beautiful
life.
378
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:30,200
Photograph, coming out from that
camera.
379
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,700
Same thing with you, your skill,
the first 50 times.
380
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:35,800
Nobody's going to be recognizing
you.
381
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,000
You're not going to be getting
any Applause.
382
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,200
You're not going to be getting
so many downloads for your
383
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,600
podcast.
Not going to get any likes for
384
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,400
your social media.
That's okay.
385
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:52,100
But after 55, maybe after 7475
entire wall is noticing who you
386
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:55,400
are.
So don't sit like until you are
387
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,200
percent start.
Now, with the what you have, a
388
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,300
lot of people other.
I noticed that they wait for
389
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:05,400
perfect moment, they wait for
perfect opportunity, guess what?
390
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:08,900
There won't be any?
Never be any perfect
391
00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:10,900
opportunity.
Today is the right time.
392
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,700
Yes, it is a time and start
something start immediately and
393
00:22:15,700 --> 00:22:19,400
start small and improve on
maintain that Cadence.
394
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:22,000
If you are doing every day.
For example, my math you are
395
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,400
doing this podcast once a week,
do that every week for the next
396
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,000
55 weeks.
And that way, you build that
397
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,700
confidence, after 55 weeks,
you're not going to be the same
398
00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:33,000
person.
You will be the number one
399
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,400
forecasters in your town.
Yeah.
400
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,000
So that's that's how I would
recommend it.
401
00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:41,000
Yeah.
And just you know, to add on
402
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,000
what you said.
Cabaye do I am doing daily.
403
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,200
So this is the, I think you
should be the 72 or 73.
404
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,400
I'm not sure.
So I do daily and 100% agree.
405
00:22:50,500 --> 00:22:52,200
And the other thing to your
point.
406
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:56,300
I advise everyone about the, you
know, don't wait until you are
407
00:22:56,300 --> 00:23:00,300
perfect to show up.
There are plenty of examples but
408
00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:02,100
the ones that came to my mind,
right?
409
00:23:02,100 --> 00:23:08,900
So if you go and see how Apple
started it, they had this, you
410
00:23:08,900 --> 00:23:13,400
know, the apple one, it was in a
wooden box, right?
411
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,800
That was not perfect, right?
And this is something started a
412
00:23:16,808 --> 00:23:20,400
whole Revolution.
If you think about something
413
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,100
like Dropbox, I'm not sure if
everyone knows but Dropbox, they
414
00:23:25,100 --> 00:23:27,700
didn't have even a product when
they showed.
415
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:30,900
And what their Vision.
They had just a video and some
416
00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:33,400
sketches from from the founders,
right?
417
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,900
So I used to have this problem
myself.
418
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:40,500
I want everything to be perfect.
And then I came, you know, I'm
419
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:43,800
talking here about four from
technology and Entrepreneurship,
420
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
I was lucky to treat couple of
books.
421
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:51,100
You know, that talks exactly
about the same some of them
422
00:23:51,100 --> 00:23:54,000
related to self development,
some of them related to
423
00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:57,500
entrepreneurship and yeah, and
everyone knows nowadays.
424
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,800
The something called agile in
model, whatever you want to call
425
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,300
it, like, where you you iterate,
you've been something, get
426
00:24:06,300 --> 00:24:08,300
feedback and then move on,
right?
427
00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:12,900
Until until you will find.
Because if you keep looking and
428
00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:15,800
I liked what you said, like it's
consistency, right?
429
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:19,000
So, keep repeating.
You might I don't like the word
430
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,200
fail.
You might not achieve what you
431
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,500
aim to do.
I don't call it fail and then
432
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:29,000
try out of time, right?
So, so, One of them, it will, it
433
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,000
will, it will work.
Now, finally before we close
434
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,500
like with you've MC for today,
in this episode, I wanted to
435
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:39,800
just, you know, like explain a
little bit about the program
436
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,600
that you have.
And you know what, the audience
437
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:49,300
can expect, if they want to
reach out to you, what is inside
438
00:24:49,300 --> 00:24:53,500
the program that you run and
what are the outcomes that they
439
00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:56,500
could expect?
Absolutely absolutely.
440
00:24:56,500 --> 00:25:00,700
So I have Along different levels
and different stages of their
441
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:03,700
Journey.
So, the very first program, I
442
00:25:03,700 --> 00:25:07,300
mention here that is called
personal Leadership Academy.
443
00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:11,300
So, this is for the people who
install that invisible glass
444
00:25:11,300 --> 00:25:14,500
ceiling on their own and they're
thinking, oh, it's very tough
445
00:25:14,500 --> 00:25:17,000
for me to become a manager.
It's very tough for me to become
446
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,900
a leader of this organization
that personal Leadership Academy
447
00:25:20,900 --> 00:25:24,500
is the great place to start.
We eliminate like a so many
448
00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:27,200
things from that and so show the
possibilities.
449
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,100
The second program that I
recommend for people is called
450
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:36,200
communication accelerator, this
is the program where every
451
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,300
person should go through.
No matter where you are, you are
452
00:25:39,300 --> 00:25:42,900
a programmer or your CEO of a
company, because the coach all
453
00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:45,400
the people in the in the
hierarchy.
454
00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:49,100
So through communication
accelerator, you become a better
455
00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:51,700
Communicator.
It's not about the skills that
456
00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:55,300
you have on your college degrees
or like, maybe on your resume.
457
00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:59,000
It's about like how you are
communicating The skills, how
458
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,000
you're communicating your words
to the world.
459
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:04,100
So I highly recommend people
will start looking up like a
460
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:07,700
personality Academy is for
communication access later
461
00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:10,400
programs and they are available.

462
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,000

LinkedIn profile.
