Personal Focus in a Word for 2015

I read on Mitch Joel’s blog about the concept of 3 words in a year that Chris Brogan started and Mitch and others have made into a tradition. I tried this out last year and decided to go with a single word instead of three – “Transformation”. I must say that this helped me a lot by being my compass in everything that i did and I grew more than I had ever did. You can find my post at the start of the year and my self-appraisal at the end of the year. So, it is time to pick […]

Self Appraisal – A Year Gone By..

I started the year 2014 by announcing publicly my goals for 2014. You can find them here. I now wanted to reflect on the year gone by and do a self-appraisal on my progress from where I started and intended to reach. I had decided that the single word for the year would be “Transformation” – in 5 different realms. Physical Transformation: I am glad that I have been able to  lose 7Kgs and a few inches around my waist. What worked in my favor was getting a fitbit device. The device provided the constant feedback on how I was doing […]

Potential Mistake that Marketing Teams Should Avoid

  The biggest mistake that I have seen a lot of marketers starting to make is that they fall in the trap of following experts at the cost of not following their customers/prospects. We all know that marketing as a function is going through a transformation. Some buzz words and trends that you may have noticed that are playing out in the marketing world are: Social Media Marketing Content Marketing Paid/earned content and many many more. CMO’s are now being forced to understand technology and work closely with their technology peers (CIO’s or CTO’s). And there are some really good […]

Do You Make this Common Mistake?

At the start of the year, I had decided that the theme for me this year was “Transformation“, specifically in 5 different spheres of my life. One of it was to transform my relationship with my son and wife – To spend more time with them with complete attention to them. In a step to achieve that, I tried to reach home earlier than normal yesterday. I reached home and started spending sometime with my 9 year old son. He has exams starting today at school and I was trying to teach him his Maths. In the middle, my phone […]
