The word Crisis in Chinese means Opportunity in Danger.
A few days into the lockdown, I realized one thing. This is the time to accelerate. To learn more. To share more. And to connect with people more.
Every opportunity to share ideas, experiences, and insights with people puts me in a ‘high responsibility zone’. Their time is important. That makes me prepare more. Tell things crisply and in an engaging way. With stories. And with a lot of confidence and conviction. The boring lockdown days turned out to be ‘high activity days’.
Many leaders I follow inspired and shared their best during these days to hold their teams and communities up.
Here is a list of programs I’ve done from 23rd March 2020 to 1 August 2020. This is almost 50 days of Webinars, Facebook, YouTube Live, and Radio Shows.

Apart from this, I wrote almost 12 articles on Linkedin, IEEE USA, The Dialogue, Opinion Byte in The Hindu, and many more.
For giving more and better, I realised that more active learning is required.
Linkedin Learning is a great platform and I spent almost 40 hours of learning of 32 different topics, some of them quite unrelated to my area of work.
As Marcel Duchamp said, “I force myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.”
I even got featured by The Journal of Hope for being a torch of hope during this crisis through spreading knowledge and happiness by reaching more than a million people through these programs.
More than the virus itself, the information on it is spamming us. – I tweeted during these days. We have to feed our mind space with great stuff. The simple idea behind these things.
Never focus too much on the goals. Focus on the process insanely. Improved capabilities open up new goals. – my philosophy.
