Judith, Top 15 Leadership Consultant

Inline image 1
Conversations seed tremendous good when they start with genuine and heartful smile. That's how Judith helped me establish warmth right at the beginning of our skype call today.

Judith, a frequent at Harvard-Kelloggs-Wharton,  has spent her last fifty years closely observing human interactions.She has been a great student of watching the in-between spaces of humans when they converse, the valence every human puts to his sensory stimuli, and the invisible prison of self-prejudice.

She has developed a unique framework that has shown results in several Fortune 500s like Citibank, Burberry, Cisco, IBM, American Express, etc. In 2012, Executive Excellence 500 ranked Judith as one of the Top 15 Leadership Consultants globally.
In my small journey of last three years and closely following 100+ researchers, I found Judith's work addressing the core of human condition. With this in heart, we began by exchanging thoughts about our Breathe India canvass and how she could help us in addressing Indian corporate, youth and grassroot for being more mind-body-soul fit and thereby more happy-healthy-together.
Her beautiful labor of Conversational Intelligence™ came about to unravel the mystery of what holds people back, develop in-group & out-group and when they do so, how do the neurochemical cocktail inside creates disharmony and leads to a negative chain reaction. During our call, she expanded on how "language" is the single biggest stock that a human is trading and if its rooted in "I am right" addiction, it can severely affect the outcomes.

She delved over the meaning of "truth" and "right" and as to how they belong to temporal creations of mind and are subjective-relative in nature. Once having done basic iterations of this through her framework, conversations become more exciting (Oxytocin-Dopamine cocktail) and decisions are owned.

Upon asked about her idea of spirituality and how it has helped her, she took me along her memory lane and narrated her childhood experience of lying in bed and feeling the limitations of her body physiology while the mind would root for discovery-breaking free and going through the roof. As a growing teenager and later on, she discovered that many questions remain unanswered or inadequately so, and it lead to her inner quest, stillness and grounding.
Both Judith and I shall be working closely to figure out a model for mass scale implementation of her learnings in India. Meanwhile, she has been kind enough to accept our invitation to be a speaker during our International Seminar during this year.

The William Forrester & Jamal Wallace in You

Image
A genius kid from low rung meets a prize winning recluse and both transform each other. Sixteen year old Jamal Wallace (Rob Brown) gets an opportunity in a prestigious private school. School's hope pinned high on his basketball ability and not so much in anything else, Jamal accidentally encounters William Forrester (Sean Connery).  Forrester's tragedies in life rips him away from his success (Pulitzer Prize).In course of tutelage to deserving Jamal, Forrester gradually and accidentally kindles his own life. Jamal's talent (for writing) shines and how !!! "Awareness" is the proverbial Jamal here in each of us. It is at the low rung of our priorities and importance. We believe that everything else that awareness is able to do for us, our thinking-feeling-saying-doing, is more worthy of cultivation.  Epiphanies and deep longings and timeless wisdom are the proverbial Forresters in us. Once or few times, having had the grand success of tasting dee...

Time and again, us humans have been at war. We certainly do not go to war because one or both or multiple sides feels over-arching abundance.  We go to war because of reasons deeply rooted in lack or scarcity or the anticipation of it . These "lack" or "scarcity" are deeply entrenched in individuals and or groups. This write-up sets out to answer the following questions: How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is the war now? How are you Asymptomatic Carriers of Warlords, thus drafted in the war  already? How can you fight it better or cut-down your participation? And these can enable you into "situational leadership" position if you chose to.  https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/vietnam-draft-dodger   How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is drafting? When a community and or its organizing body or institution went for a war, there was either what is called voluntary participation for fight...

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.  Summary: There is the Black Lives Matter Movement sparked by murder. There is close-home Gangster-Encounter. And in some sense, all of us are involved in daily murders or encounters. At individual level. At inter-personal level. At inter-group level. And that is getting played out in heinous ways sometimes and we feel shocked. Thats because of our own blindspots and our own treadmills. Time for Justice 2.0  Discretion and Weaponization  aren't strange bed-fellows. Some theorists in evolution, civilization, governance, organization structure and development and more would argue its need in society. And they would cite the inextricable need for going beyond process (the very "bureaucracy" that renders many a project ineffective or stalls innovation or "whatever it takes" scenarios). However, what one can surely argue is "is there an adaptive form of discretion and maladaptive forms of discretion?". How can one di...
