Early Childhood

5. The Rat Race
Did my MBA in marketing and began the rat race with nothing
better to do.
Lost my creativity in the pressures of the rat race

6. Except for the courage to
continue my education
against medical advice, I
was living an ordinary life.
A major twist came, when I
was introduced to the
science of meditation.

8. Finding My Direction
Social Media Success = Mindful Content +
Passionate Engagement + Heartfelt Collaboration
How I created this formula is an interesting story in itself

9. Finding My Direction
And one fine day, I realized the immense power of stories to
inspire people l energize action l connect emotionally,
build reputation l entertain us at the same time

10. WHAT WE UNCONSCIOUSLY DO IS WHAT WE ARE
BORN TO DO.
As a child I was an unconscious
storyteller.
I loved the case study method which
is nothing but storytelling.
Started my blog with an anecdote
(short true story).
As a teacher-trainer also, I had used
stories frequently.

Unearthing My Life’s Purpose

12. I had not realised that that
storytelling is the final piece in my
life’s jigsaw as it combines my
• Passions (writing, inspiring),
• Strengths (empathy, human
psychology) and
• Education/experience (marketing,
branding) together.

Unearthing My Life’s Purpose

13. I began to connect the dots backwards and understood
how my education, jobs and life experiences had together
led me to this path.
Was it a conspiracy of the Universe?
The hints proved I was on the right track.
