Emma Kearns, Solutions Manager at Rangam UK and Ireland, chronicles her epiphanic journey towards ADHD.My journey is probably reflected in many women who have a similar story to tell. At 36 I had my first child and immediately after we were plunged into lockdown 1.0 (3 days after to be precise – he clearly hadn’t received the lock own memo and decided that the first clap for carers was his cue to make his arrival!). At this point, I had already started thinking ‘I wonder if ... View Post

Here are three must-have skills for leaders to stay relevant and sustain continued ... View Post

Goals should be realistic. Period. Unrealistic goals cannot be achieved. You can never have the dedication to pursue goals that are hard to achieve. For instance, if you’re given a target to increase productivity by 100 percent, it means you may have to work 10x harder than what you’re doing now. Such a target is highly unrealistic. It’ll be more practical to set an incremental target of 15-20 percent increase in productivity and work persistently to achieve the target. ... View Post

Leaders inspire and motivate, whereas managers plan, organize, and coordinate. A leader sets his eyes on the bigger picture, while a manager puts ... View Post

Most parents tell their kids that it's uncouth to brag. However, when it comes to designing marketing and branding strategies, a moderate indulgence in self-promotion isn't entirely a bad idea. While there are no one-size-fits-all rules, we've found out four that work in most scenarios: 1. Build a great product or service, and let your customers do all the talking.

Do we highlight our trials, tribulations, and setbacks with the same amount of passion that we expend when celebrating our successes, Not so much. Success comes with a sweet-sounding ringtone, whereas failure is almost always in silent (and sometimes, desperate) mode. Failure, no matter how much it hurts, is an important part of life. Failure is a great teacher. It's like nature's chisel which chips away at the excesses, strips down the ego, and molds and shapes us. There isn't a ... View Post
