Who I Am

I reveal myself using a lot of humour to disarm the learner’s inhibitions and internal resistance. Also, I share personal experiences as to how I have improved myself and am living a better life. I candidly discuss my vulnerabilities as ‘case-studies’ to inspire people, and how I dealt with them and overcame them.

I communicate the desire that enabling the participant to overcome their challenges brings me as much joy as it does when I overcome my own challenges.

I subtly transmit the motto that “I am an ordinary man with extraordinary desires, and I will not quit till I become an extraordinary man with ordinary desires.” And if I can do it, so can you.

I focus on creating enabling beliefs, which trigger the desire in my participants to develop skills that lead to success and happiness.

My unique approach and method to make learning interesting: My approach is to be loud, using lots of humour, using simple words, making sure that abnormal things that we take to be normal are brought to the attention so that the clients realize their blind spots.

My method is to transfer my feelings to the participants under the cover of loudness and humour.

I enable clients to become clear that patience is active and tolerance is passive, punishment is an act by which a person becomes better, where as torture makes a person bitter.

I practice the art of effective questioning, asking: “Why do you work?”, “Why did you join the organization in which you work?” Often the answers given are pre-conditioned and not pre-thought. The participants realize that working for money is not the primary reason; working to become better is the primary reason. Similarly the primary reason to join an organization is to make the organization better; in the process the individual becomes better.

Experiences that brought a turning point in my life and outlook: In 1984 I was a bus boy, cleaning tables in a restaurant Mumbai, and I would tell customers that I would own a hotel one day, and within 10 years I was. What you conceive in your mind, you can achieve and making a success of it has given me tremendous joy and confidence. In short phases we did see challenges coming our way, and we dealt with them with a sense of positive and rational enthusiasm. In 2000 I was one of the founder members of an NGO- Samabhavana Society and worked in areas that have been extremely challenging and I can quote from Star trek......” Where no man has gone before........” and done path breaking work and been recognized for it nationally and internationally.

My inspiration: To bring about a change in myself for the better, through assisting others in uplifting themselves and to see people live amazing lives, as good, intelligent, vibrant, aware and benevolent human beings.

My central message for the learners: Switch On – Commitment, Important, Design, Learn, Puzzle, And, Essential, Strength, Choice. Become a better person (improving the capacity to help others and actually engaging oneself to help others) daily.

My clients describe me as: Electrifying, intensely involved, down to earth, amazingly humorous, extremely driven, and passionately connected.
