Conducted an interactive webinar, “Teaching Children Joy”, (January 2021).
We often associate joy with children. A child has the immense beautiful capability of being happy and joyful. So what exactly happens when this innate joy in children disappears in the process of growing up? How can we help children become happy adults?
In the desire to ensure that children become successful, many caregivers and parents forget the importance of their child’s emotional state as they grow into adulthood. Through a celebration of life with gratitude and compassion, prioritising essential in life, expressing emotional serenity, empathy, effective communication, and acknowledging that every child is special and unique, nurturing joy in a child can contribute immensely in a child’s long term emotional well-being.
Conducted an interactive webinar, “Teaching Children Joy”, (January 2021) involving inspiring insights from teachers from Kenya, Pakistan and India in helping children retain their innate joyful nature well into adulthood. Strategies in assisting children in growing into positive, benevolent society members were also considered during this session.
As Alexander Den Heijer once said –
“When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.”

Keynote Speaker , “Loyalty – Creating Personal and Professional Progress Through Commitment” at the online 2021-International Conference on Research in Life-Sciences & Healthcare (ICRLSH), Paris, France.
Delighted to begin 2021, with the keynote, “Loyalty – Creating Personal and Professional Progress Through Commitment” at the online 2021-International Conference on Research in Life-Sciences & Healthcare (ICRLSH), Paris, France.
My session aims to explore just the extent to which we relate the term ‘loyalty’ in our existence.
As a characteristic, “loyalty” is synonymous with noble qualities like integrity and honesty. Its role in building character is undeniable, and developing this quality can help us grow personally and professionally.
Loyalty stands for dedication and commitment while involving trust and respect too. By having loyalty for the individuals, we interact within our lives, the work we do, we create more loyalty around us. The loyalty we show in our life affects the behaviour and actions of those we associate or interact within our personal and professional life. By fostering an environment that promotes mutual well-being, progress, and development, through the loyalty we promote through our words and actions, a societal responsibility towards greater compassion for humanity is also awakened.

Conducted an interactive workshop, “Why Friendships Matter!”, that highlighted the significance of healthy friendships in our life and its contribution to our well-being and happiness (December 2020).
The session discussed the ways we can promote and maintain healthy friendships and also dealt with the ways to cultivate friendships that can enrich and empower lives. The significance of nurturing friendships, strengthening relationships with acquaintances was also stressed through the implementation of practical techniques, suggestions and narration of personal anecdotes. The identification and comprehension of toxic friendships were also briefly analysed with examples.
The workshop concluded with a discussion on how by consciously improving our attitude and understanding of people can enable us to improve our friendships.

Conducted a workshop, “Creating Joy in Twilight Years!”, that honoured the elderly and how we can take better care of them, (November 2020).
The elderly loved ones in our life – whether they are our parents, grandparents, uncles or aunts or even neighbours truly enjoy companionship and attention. With the passing of years, many become silent because their environment consciously or unconsciously discourages them from expressing themselves or communicating with others. The session touched upon the ways we can improve an elder’s quality of life and how to respond to elders suffering from Alzheimer’s and Dementia. The importance of finding meaning in life along with a healthy diet and exercise was also emphasised for finding purpose in the twilight years. In this context, the ancient Japanese philosophy of well-being, “Ikigai” was highlighted along with its health benefits and ways to awaken it in our lives. Keeping in mind the possible cognitive impairment that affects many elders, the need to prioritize emotional connection and reassurance over rational explanations in our communication with them was also discussed in detail. The session concluded with tips to celebrate their presence in our lives.
Motivational session by the charity organisation, Box of Hope, “Change – Acceptance, Growth and Acceptance“ at 7:00 PM – U.A.E Time on November 4th, Wednesday, 2020
Today, our society faces the unpredictability of change amidst uncertainty and realisation. How do we cope with change? Is change only creating stress for us, or is it bringing myriad growth opportunities? In the process, are we also learning something invaluable about ourselves and life today than ever before? By acknowledging and proactively addressing the transformation that has taken place, we are faced with the crucial challenge of changing our attitude and course of future action. To know more about change and the possible strategies we can implement to cope with this process, I welcome you all to join me for the motivational session organised by the charity organisation, Box of Hope, “Change – Acceptance, Growth and Acceptance“ at 7:00 PM – U.A.E Time on November 4th, Wednesday, 2020. My appreciation to Harmeek Singh, founder of Plan B Group, Mrinalini Saha and the Box of Hope Team for inviting me to conduct this session, as part of their noble initiative to support society through enlightenment and empowerment.
Conducted an interactive communication and activity-based workshop, “Your Voice Speaks!”, for high school students, and educational professionals, (October 2020).
Conducted an interactive communication and activity-based workshop, “Your Voice Speaks!”, for high school students, and educational professionals, (October 2020). Someone once said, “Be a voice and not an echo”. As members of society, we are conscious of speaking to be heard, yet are we effectively using our voice for effective communication and maximum impact in our personal and professional life? Our voice is significant not just for its role in communication, but for its ability to portray our personality and establishing the desired connection with others. It is a pathway that allows the world to get a glimpse of our identity, our emotions and energy. The workshop dealt with why our voice is crucial to our communication skills, types of voices, ways to use our voice effectively, and the strategies to implement it in our personal and professional life. The session also highlighted how we could take care of our voice, just like we take care of our health and well-being.

Speaker at TESOL Arabia 2020 Conference (October 2-3, 2020).
Delighted to be a part of the TESOL Arabia 2020 Conference (October 2-3, 2020), that has been supporting English language educators and professionals for over 25 years in the UAE, the Gulf and MENA Regions. My session on “Culture and Intercultural Communication” is a conscious effort to promote harmony and peace in societal interactions.
By keeping in mind the United Nation’s theme for 2020, ‘Biodiversity’, this session seeks to create awareness and understanding of the communication based on the myriad cultures and diversity that exists in the world that we are a part of. The comprehension of intercultural communication today is not just essential but an existential requirement for sustainability in our society. The world has become further inextricably linked since the arrival of the global pandemic. This has lead to an unprecedented change in our lifestyle, work, and education – a change that we can understand and cope better through greater universal tolerance and respect for people.

Conducted an interactive workshop on abuse prevention for a diverse audience, comprising of adults and teenagers from the U.A.E, India and Poland, (September 26th, 2020).
Abuse is a subject that many endure in silence and in shame. One of the goals of this session was to highlight the importance of timely intervention in preventing abuse. It is neither to be experienced in silence or embarrassment as many victims sadly believe but responded through meaningful and purposeful strategies. Keeping in mind that many suffer even more today from abuse due to the restrictions caused by the global pandemic, this session discussed the types of abuse and mechanisms for its prevention. Through insightful discussions and narration of observations, the session concluded with suggestions regarding how much each of us can contribute to society in creating awareness and effectively combat this critical societal issue. As someone once said, “It is easier to build up a child than it is to repair an adult”.

keynote speaker at “Enhancing Self-Motivation for Personal and Professional Progress”, at the Amsterdam – International Conference on Social Science & Humanities (ICSSH), 11-12 August 2020.
The level of self-motivation that we have can not only help us achieve our goals but enhance the quality of our life and to lead a more fulfilled existence.
Look forward to presenting a keynote speech,
“Enhancing Self-Motivation for Personal and Professional Progress”,
at the Amsterdam – International Conference on Social Science & Humanities (ICSSH), 11-12 August 2020.
Our comprehension of what motivates us and how can we stay motivated can help our personal and professional life immensely. For many, self-motivation is dependent significantly on external factors. However, relying a great deal on external factors can prove to be challenging and not beneficial for us in the long term.
Some of the ways to stay self-motivated can be through goal setting, learning new skills, consciously being positive and of course, maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

3) How can a sense of thankfulness affect our resilience to face challenges?

Conducted a motivational and interactive webinar on stress management, “Why Hygge?”, (July 2020).
The session laid emphasis on the lucid positive approach of “Hygge”. A beautiful lifestyle philosophy that originated from Denmark and Norway, its practice is interestingly more prevalent in Denmark today. The session was introduced with the definition of Hygge, its practice and simple implementation techniques in our daily existence.
The connection between Hygge and stress management was then followed by the highlight of the strategies and techniques to cope with stress and the approaches to eradicate it as much as possible from our daily life. The webinar was graciously contributed with critical medical insights by Dr.Sabine (from India) relating to the facts about stress and burnout. Mrs.Asha, a high school English teacher (from India) also kindly shared some of her valuable learning in the discussion regarding strategies for coping up with stress and its amazing impact on family members and home environment.
A group activity that focused on the easier management of stressful factors finally concluded the workshop, laying stress on the value of our existing (in some cases untapped) social and personal support resources in our life.
Speaker at e-Bookery Show, 18th July 2020.

“Kamala Das – Selected Poems”

I look forward to sharing my insights and perceptions of Das’s poems during this session.

Speaker at the WEF (Women Economic Forum) Digital Summit 2020 (Bangalore, India).
The topic that I will be presenting is -“The Happiness Factor – Teaching Children Joy”.
My selection of topic has been influenced by my observation that teaching children to be happy is critical for building a harmonious and peaceful future for the world we are a part of. Why is it important that we nurture children into adults who are happy and know what happiness means? Happy children, who grow up to be happy adults are more positive and their positive disposition more likely enables them to focus on goals with better attention and clarity. They are less likely to be prone to stress and more prone to build resources and work with the support of their network to achieve their goals successfully. I implore parents and guardians, in their focus on improving their child’s grades and success in their growing years, to consider the importance of raising happy children as crucial too. As someone once said,”Do not educate children to be rich, educate them to be happy, so that when they grow up, they will know the value of things and not just the price”.

Conducted the webinar, “The Anger Trap”, an anger management workshop, from “The Work-Life Balance Webinar Series”, (June 2020).
Mark Twain is known to have said, “Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured”. Anger, as we all know, can be destructive and lead to unnecessary complications in our relationships and life. How can we ensure that we are angry for the right reason, at the right time, at the right person and using the right and appropriate style of communication? This workshop aimed to throw light on some of the fundamental challenges caused by anger and how anger can be managed effectively. Storytelling and personal anecdotes along with activities were used to define the concept of anger and its effects on oneself and of course on others. Some of the causes of anger, anger triggers, symptoms and practical techniques to process anger were discussed during the course of the workshop. Practical strategies for transforming anger into healthier positive feelings were also highlighted for enhancing personal and professional well-being and happiness. 
Conducted the webinar, ” Motivation & Productivity During Crisis”, from “The Work-Life Balance Webinar Series”, for professionals belonging to the fields of medicine, education, finance, art, engineering and media, (May 2020).
The interactive workshop incorporated psychological tools in aiding behavioural change and achieving goals during challenges and otherwise. The relationship between self-motivation and its fluctuation based on personal and environmental factors were discussed through the inclusion of our social/ecological strengths, confrontation of unresolved external and internal conflicts, appraisal of self-perspective and role of positive affirmations. Practical strategies for enhancing personal and professional productivity, emphasis on positive daily habits (and self-care) and the importance of time management were highlighted too during the workshop.
Online webinar, “Rebuilding and Reinvigorating the State’s Economy Post COVID 19″, with Honourable Chief Minister of Kerala (India), Mr Pinarayi Vijayan.
I was privileged to attend the special online webinar, “Rebuilding and Reinvigorating the State’s Economy Post COVID 19″, with Honourable Chief Minister of Kerala (India), Mr Pinarayi Vijayan. Organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI Kerala State Council), the session was well organised and presented. The Kerala Chief Minister elaborated on the various humanitarian, health and state infrastructure-related initiations and strategies that Kerala has undertaken to tackle the challenges caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic. The session that followed the Chief Minister’s address was led by industry leaders on key focus sectors of Kerala. Experts from industries relating to Tourism, Education, Sports, Health Care, Information Technology, Human Resources, Electronics, Space & Defence Sector and Retail sector discussed valuable proposals that could effectively promote development and progress in Kerala (and India) presently and post the pandemic situation. The management of the current crisis in Kerala has undoubtedly been a reflection of extraordinary leadership and brilliant teamwork. Indeed, “Leadership is having a compelling vision, a comprehensive plan, relentless implementation and talented people working together.”
Online motivational Personal Development workshop, “Life Management and Positive Thinking during Crisis” , (April 2020).
Like the creepers that arch over walls that offer them partial rays of sunlight and air, during challenges in life there, lie opportunities to learn and unlearn. These creepers do not have the advantage of thriving under the beaming rays of the sun. Yet with the available light and air, they thrive in the best way possible. Nature has a way of teaching us through experiential learning, and this was the concept that was emphasised through my online motivational Personal Development workshop, “Life Management and Positive Thinking during Crisis”, (April 2020).
Conducted for an audience that consisted of nationalities/ residents of Kenya, Pakistan, India, Canada, Colombia, Italy, UK, Bahrain, and of course the U.A.E, this interactive session primarily dealt with practical tools and techniques to cope with the stress and anxiety of a crisis, including the significance of the Japanese concept of IKIGAI in this process. Post-session activities were ones that aimed to help overcome mental blocks that prevent relaxation, positive thinking and acceptance of current challenges. Last but not least, a detailed Q & A session with discussions and methodologies in solving personal and professional matters concluded the workshop.
LOCKDOWN OR NO LOCKDOWN learning must continue, Contact for Online Training & Consultancy.
Online learning, today, more than ever before, has received mainstream acceptance globally for several reasons.

The more available access to specialised education and networking opportunities furthermore makes online learning useful and practical for us to build a successful personal and professional life.
Let us continue to learn, grow and succeed, together.
Interactive session, “A Creative Approach to Life and Time Management”, (February 2020)
My thanks and appreciation to ‘Smart Champs’, the brilliant lifestyle coaching institute and their teachers, Sasipriya and Shahira, for the delightful experience. My interactive session, “A Creative Approach to Life and Time Management”, (February 2020), dealt with managing personal and educational challenges that included Goal Setting, Leisure Activity Management, Child Parental Relationship Management, Maintaining Self Esteem and Techniques to Build Confidence, through Creative Thinking. During the session, a (probably bored!) 7-year-old’s innocent question, “Ma’am, what is your name?”, hilariously reminded me to keep my focus on entertainment instead of merely focusing on the process of learning. Every opportunity to interact and communicate with children provides us with innumerable ways for us, as adults to humbly learn and unlearn.
