Firstly, wishing you a splendid 2022; a new year filled with love, laughter, and light.

As another year passed way into the shadows I felt called to pen down a few lines and share my last year’s experience along with some learnings.

On the brink of 2021, a life-changing incident struck our home and we found ourselves in the middle of a crisis.

The first six months would go down in history as one of the most trying and difficult times I have ever faced in my life.

For at least two months I wasn’t able to swallow solid food and survived on liquids and sweets as I was consumed with fear and pain.

As I look back at the year gone by as a spectator I have a few profound observations.

Last year I had enrolled for a deep coaching certification program and it was a three-month-long journey, Psycho Drama sessions throughout the year and along with this, I was also a part of a year-long program on studying the Yogasutras (Inner Work through Yoga).

I attended all these sessions along with my work and managing the crisis as the virus was lashing out and all of us were working from home.

As I sit today and put this puzzle together I feel there was a profound design to this. All the three different modalities I studied helped me deep dive and I found immense strength and conviction.

It also helped me look after myself, my family, and work as we were all working from home.

My style of coaching, connecting, and building rapport became so deep and profound it almost seemed I wasn’t the same person anymore.

Towards the latter half of the year, we bagged two different projects on driving culture change using Deep Coaching, PsychoDrama, and Lego Serious Play for a group of senior leaders.

The space created in both these programs was sacred, powerful, and path-breaking.

The reason is that the series of events that occurred changed my relationship with myself; the learning helped me explore deeper and today the participants can also travel along with me and experience a similar depth.

As they say, every experience can make you bitter or better; it’s up to us what we would like to create.

Every person and every experience can be a great teacher; the only question is, are we receptive and open to learning?
