Dr. Shalini Lal and I got together for what turned out to be an enriching and fascinating conversation on #futureofworkSome key points Dr Lal spoke about1. Future is already here and has disrupted how we work already. It is much more than just work arrangements (read, WFH)2. There is a real danger of 'out of sight, out of mind' in remote working. The need to engage with team members is much more urgent than we think it is3. Younger people who are joining the workforce are finding it difficult to build bridges. We must help them do so4. Learning and upskilling is a key element of the future of work. Many of us will have multiple careers, unlike our previous generations.5. COVID/Pandemic is an accelerator of change. This change would anyways have happened. It is the next big change after work being performed where it was not originated (read, offshoring)For these and many more insights check the video below. The show is also on YouTube. I will leave a link in the comments section.Please do also check Dr Lal's fascinating show - The Future of Work.

In this episode, I speak with Shammi Pant to discuss how to identify and tackle Crucial Conversations at Work. Here are some key points from the talk:1. Crucial conversations become crucial when opinions vary, stakes are high, and emotions run high2. Like all skills, we can improve how we identify and tackle such conversations. Preparation helps3. Self-awareness and introspection help us prepare.4. We face such conversations often. At work and in personal life. Taking a deep breath. Pausing. Assessing our mindset is critical.5. Confrontation may help you win the day but could lose you the war.Of course, in some rare situations, the culture is toxic and there is malice in the air. Such a situation needs a decision, not a conversation.Watch the video interview for more tips and tricks to get better at such conversations. Video is on my YouTube channel - Anshuman Tiwari

Pramod Deshpande, chief coach of Jayanagar Jaguars, India's leading Running Academy. Coach has trained over 7000 working professionals to pick endurance running as a hobby.The event was live on YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Unedited video attached. I will share smaller edited videos later this week.Some gems from the talk:1. Human species has survived and thrived because it was active. And #running comes naturally to us. We are designed that way.2. Running is not just about stamina and strength. There are four systems at work - Mental/Brain, Respiratory, Cardiovascular, Muscle and bones.3. Just as in our careers, progress in running is slow and the steady and diligent are rewarded. Working on strength, stamina, balance, and rhythm is critical to improving performance.4. While minor injuries will happen as we build strength, no major long term injury happens because of running. Most are due to improper preparation or over-ambition.5. Running in a community or group helps to stay motivated and it's easier to follow a plan. This is especially important also for women runners from a safety point of view.We also had TCM Sundaram, ace venture capitalist, joining the show to share his journey of becoming a regular runner at marathon events.

Giving up control and raining money is the first act of humility from an entrepreneur. Not my words but wisdom coming from grownups - R Gopalakrishnan (Gopal) and Naru Narayanan.Earlier today I spoke with both these distinguished leaders on Wisdom for Startups by Grownup based on their recent book by the same name. The show was live on my channel.Top moments from the session:1. Shinise and Corporate Ayurveda: the principles of a long healthy life are universal and it is the same for an organisation. Organisations can last long and should aim to do so.2. Minohoda, is Japanese for - it is not enough to have a great idea. You must also have a good understanding of your limitations. Love your idea but evaluate objectively3. Raising money vs Using your Money: Raising capital is accompanied by giving up control. The desire for control is human nature and we don't frown upon it. There was a time when Tata Sons held under 2% of Tata Steel.4. The act of raising money is the first act of humility that an entrepreneur can show. The maximum feedback one gets is from the person who puts in the money. Nothing is worse than an entrepreneur who cannot make that transition from being my idea, my company, to our idea, our company.5. Companies are like human beings. Companies can be like children and one gets attached to them. There is emotion. The company and the entrepreneur forge a clear personality of their own.6. Hiring people you know vs the best talent: When you hire people whom you know, don't forget that those people also know you.7. A team means you have talent Density. Portability.8. PIAC – Purpose, Identity, Adaptability, Conservative is the secret sauce for success as a startup.9. Kahlil Gibran said this in his point, he said, be grateful for parenthood, but remember, you're merely a vehicle through which that being has come into the world.For this and more check the video on YouTube (Link in comments). I will publish a Podcast version soon as well.
