What has been your most cherished experience as a corporate trainer? How have things changed in current times when it comes to accepting women as decision-makers in the corporate sector?
The beautiful experience in corporate training is understanding the journey of not knowing anything to knowing everything today, from terms, clients, customers need to today’s knowing of how to upskill the KRA KPI PRODUCTIVITY GROWTH COMPLIANCE AUDIT and also helping them through the process of having a healthy safe and conducive workspaces.
The journey was so beautiful from learning. Small learnings at training session outcomes to massive experiences addressing auditorium ground of 5,000 people as audience. That’s the biggest audience I have had in a corporate event on the yearly closing event. Though we see women breaking the glass ceiling and many becoming organization board members or founding CEOs of their own company start-ups, yet bias myths and judgments still curl in society at large on women being sensitive, indecisive, and not those who can make strong sustainable decisions.
We in India are still far away from the acceptance of women standing as leaders with men supporting them on the lower pedestal and understanding that they are creative, courageous, and great multi-taskers and powerful leaders.

Can you describe/outline your typical day? What entrepreneurial tricks have you discovered to keep you focused and productive in your day-to-day busy schedule?
My day starts at 5.30 am – 30min me time to set in, Yoga 6 am -7 am welcome the sunshine energies in my life, A normal family routine from being a mother& wife house chores and stepping into the workspace from 9.30 am -9.30 pm with breaks of food and Pomodoro breaks scheduling, prioritizing and delegating work at personal, company and clients with each day a new beginning and a new ending, no one fit for all, always going with the to-do list to up-skilling my knowledge and skills with new learning, reading books and hearing new stories my way, missed with the spice of love care and a lot of fun with family and walks over the evening. Certain days can be taxing like heavily loaded with certifications and CHILD OR WOMEN abuse cases of harassment and cyberbullying, but with a good meal, family time, and smile and laughter of my family and a Netflix series and popcorn it all ends well. One thing that, makes me productive is my workspace of calm and resilience, plan focus on my work and growth and keeping gadgets planned on certain timings, read and exercise body mind and soul- and always be an ardent learner.
