In honor of #EarthDay2021​, we hosted a virtual coffee “Being planet-first: doing good while doing well : Setting intention and building accountability through Coaching" on Sat April 24th.

In this 90-minute conversation, our Founder, Meenakshi Iyer, and her guests explored what planet-first thinking is all about, and what it takes to translate it into action.

Thrilled to feature Organo Rurban Living- an India-based sustainable business built on the foundation of triple bottom line of people, planet and profits.

Women make up for ~ 50% of the world's population.

Yet, this equality doesn't seem to extend to other aspects of women's lived experience.

Women continue to be paid less than men for the same work.

Women continue to be forced to juggle home , work, childcare and eldercare.

Women continue to be looked over for leadership roles and promotions at work.

This International Women’s Day,  we #ChooseToChallenge all this by supporting positive visibility of women, and by celebrating women’s achievements. #IWD2021

A 2020 Holiday Special Interview Series on grit, perseverance, and achievement - especially among #FemaleFounders and Women Leaders from around the world!

While the Future of Work can seem to be mostly about technology, it’s in fact people, the global workforce that hold the key.

This thought-provoking 3-part webinar conversation series on the fascinating topic, between the fabulous father-daughter duo of David McConney and Rachael McConney, was curated and hosted by Meenakshi Iyer, our Founder and Principal.

We're thrilled about this unique collaboration as the three of them, themselves, are a true representation of our topic!  

"Leadership" is almost always associated with titles and positional power. This makes leadership predicated upon others - having someone to lead; and exclusionary of 'self'.

In this group coaching session, I explore how we might reframe leadership in the context of self-leadership. Especially so, in these VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) times.

Together with the participants, I explore what ancient wisdom has to say about self-leadership and co-create a few additions to our self-leadership toolkit. After all, "YOU are the most important person that you'll ever lead."

Inclusive Design: How to build a high-performing Agile team | Tue, Mar 10th 2020 

Teams at the workplace are first and foremost human social groups. So, isn't it but natural for our national/ethnic cultures, upbringing, and life experiences to influence our actions and behaviors (and values) at the workplace? But, how often do we think about this while working – especially with globally distributed teams? Do we realize how own biases can shape our understanding of others? How might we adopt the principles of inclusive design to build high-performing Agile teams?

In this hour-long session, we learn about how the human aspects of teams/workplace such as national cultures, native language, gender norms/stereotypes etc. influence workplace behavior; and how our improved understanding of these behaviors coupled with application of inclusive design principles, can help us build high-performing Agile teams.
