Running, reading, writing, take care of our 2 rescued dogs

In 2013 my resume had 13 years of corporate and advertising experience in 3 different countries, India, Singapore, and Australia. It was time for the next phase. So, I decided to start my own story practice called Narrative: The Business of Stories. When I first started the practice, I did not know that my story work will help my clients get media coverage, get government funding, make them the employer of choice and be the catalyst for their personal/vocational fulfillment, and corporate effectiveness. Many of my clients have been promoted not because we made them better at their jobs but because we gave them the language, in the form of stories, to talk about the amazing work they were doing in their jobs. Over the last 7 years I have had the opportunity to work with brands like ByteDance -TikTok, AirBNB, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Shell, Danone, Caterpillar, and Micron to name a few. I have coached TEDx speakers to find and tell their stories. Helped brands like Infineon, Roche, Singtel ( a large telecommunications firm in Singapore ) Agilent Technologies tell their Digital Transformation Story. I'm not sharing this to brag–I'm just a normal girl from India who came to work in Singapore in 2001. I was as surprised as anyone when within 5 years my little practice became a 5 people team and we started tripling our revenue every year. This success has made me wonder what is it exactly that we were doing that was gaining traction? And I came to a conclusion that we had unintentionally decoded the science of storytelling which meant my work is not just limited to creating connections, inspiring, motivating, and engaging with storytelling but it also covered situations where you have to influence decision-makers and drive better business outcomes in a very time-poor world. I had learned exactly which story needs to be told in which setting and how to tell it

Right Mindset is my secret of success; Many a time we will be presented with three choices to make on our paths towards success Mindset Choice 1: It would be foolish to choose this as it guarantees no success. But many of us do. To declare that only when COVID-19 vaccine is available and everyone has taken it, you will restart your work is kind of foolish. Or to say, when I find a partner or mentor I will begin; Mindset Choice 2: Many have travelled this path. It is also littered with stories of people who never made it to the end. This path is not very hard but crowded. Everyone is fighting for the attention of the same audience using the same tactics. This is where we subscribe to the culture of fun, fast, and easy; Mindset Choice 3: You won't find too many people on this path since it is very hard. People see the effort involved in traveling this path from a distance and decide not to be on it. As a result, this path is not crowded. Here we don't fight for attention but we struggle with the discipline needed to stay on this path. Those who don't make it to the end are the ones who fail to keep up with the discipline. Here the struggle is with self. The choice is yours and may we choose the best one. The one that allows you to make a ruckus. If being successful by adding value and making a ruckus sounds like your mindset, then you are my tribe
