“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”. That means you should put your fears aside and pursue your dreams. 2. 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People, by Stephen R. Covey. It showed me that I should take ownership of what does not work in my life. It also introduced me to the fact that not all tasks are created equal, some are more important than others. “Trust is the glue of life. It's the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It's the foundational principle that holds all relationships. 3. “The Power Of Now” by Eckhart Tolle. I have recently read one of the most inspiring and life-changing books: “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle. The book covers the topic of accessing the power of “now” — the present moment. Tolle explains that by accessing it, we acquire true peace. This book was truly revolutionizing for me.

The Power OF Communication Being a spiritual teacher, I have been deeply connected with the people and places. This gave me an opportunity to know, understand and communicate with them. Communication in simple words is a mutual connection between two things, to exchange, ideas, thoughts and facts. But communication in a deeper sense is an expression of your being, which gives a reason for your voice to be heard.

try to reach our targets or goals in an easy and immediate manner, but personally we are creating a distance in our relationships. Our devices keep us busy and involved to an extent that we do not like to connect with the people physically. The disconnection actually imbalances our emotions; where we find no one to listen or share our thoughts at all. The purpose of communication is to strengthen the bonds between human beings. We all need love, care and compassion. We all need a desire to be wanted. That is the basic human requirement. How good it feels when a child comes back home from the school and the mother asks him, “How was your days in the school, my little?” or a husband can at least explain his challenges of the day he faced in the office? The right communication is an act of compassion, an art to develop a strong companionship. This connection, collaboration and communication is the new age requirement.

I tend to resonate with this quote of Peter Drucker – one of the best-known and most widely influential thinkers and writers on the subject of management theory and practice “Leadership is not magnetic personality – that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not ‘making friends and influencing people’ – that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations” If I was to sum it all, I would say “Great leaders don’t set out to be leaders; they set out to make a difference.

SR: I’m Simon Rogers, The Mind Body Coach. I believe that the greatest pain in life is not knowing yourself. I’m passion about supporting people to explore and maximise their relationship with themselves and their lives so that they can actualise their potential. I typically work with women in their 40s that are in management roles and are constantly putting everyone else first, hiding their feelings and secretly suffering.

life that they didn’t believe was possible where being of service doesn’t mean self-sacrifice. PGMAG: Your work speaks to me because I am one of those who always put others first before my need – not always a good thing to do. Please share some thoughts on this behaviour and give us some tips on how to create a balance in this area of leadership. SR: ̣ We as a society currently have more trust in thought and rationality than feeling and intuition. Since the pandemic, we all are more sensitive and aware of our inner world. I think it’s important to mention that we are also much more empathic than we realise, especially those that are drawn to management positions to be of service to their teams. Firstly, there’s less trust to know what feeling are actually there, next there’s more there that we had thought and lastly, we don’t have clarity on which ones are ours and which are relating to another.

emotions are sensational
I believe that the greatest pain in life is not knowing yourself. I’m passion about supporting people to explore and maximise their relationship with themselves and their lives so that they can actualise their potential. All of this make it very challenging to be open and curious to how we are feeling and what matters to us. It’s much easier to focus on another! Here are 5 insights that I share with my clients to explore and get more clarity on what is happening in their experience: 1. Emotions are embodied: go to the body to feel. 2. All emotions are important not good or bad: every emotion is there to teach us something that we have yet to fully appreciated. 3. Emotions come in clusters, we are often feeling more than we realise: focus on the primary feeling and take
expressions of energy and can be felt without narrative. 5. Stay curious to emotions rather that reacting: rather than asking ‘why am I feeling what I’m feeling?’ stay curious to the experience of the feeling. PGMAG: What is the best approach to prepare for the New Year? SR: Be curious to an everchanging world outside of ourselves and within ourselves. PGMAG: Please tell us more about your business. SR: I’ve always been fascinating with our relationship with pain and how that influences our perception of life and our relationship with it. My personal and professional experience has taught me that pain is often about our own resistance to our experience through an unwillingness to face feeling as they are rather than telling ourselves a

Powerful Global Women Foundation (Powerhouse Charity) was founded in 20l6 in Nigeria, West Africa, by Lady Anita Duckworth-Bradshaw. The core objective of this organization is to transform the lives of women and children, through various projects centred around the need of the service group. In 20l6 Lady Anita single handedly fed over 400 children as part of “project feed l000 children globally”, and held an empowerment conference for the women. Through this project, so many women have gone to do great things with the knowledge they gained from the event. She recently held a life transforming event for women in Lagos, Nigeria as part of International women’s month celebration 20l8. The turnout was very encouraging. She is working towards supporting more families to keep their children and wards in school through” project back-to-school” starting in September 20l8. We are seeking for global support from individuals and organisations who would love to be a part of this service to humanity.
