If you are into something new


One of the things we actively do is calling people who are trying out new things.

In the past few months we have met people who are trying to push the envelope on many things - from game based assessments to AR driven trainings to technology learning companies to a bunch of other things.

Learning things from interviews.

Learning things from people in different industries.

Learning things from books.

Learning from leaders.

And of course, trying out some of it. Trying out something new. With a hint of curiosity. With a bit of knowledge of reversible and irreversible decisions. Falling a bit, failing a bit, tweaking a bit...

Realising that there is indeed, so much to learn...

The power of jotting down ideas

 Long long ago, I always used to carry a small letterpad with me. To jot down ideas that might occur. Over the years, it has changed from a notepad to evernote to google keep, but the power of jotting down ideas is immense.  Small ideas go into keep.  Anything to be quickly typed goes into whatsapp as a self message.  Bigger or better formed ideas go into Google docs A few are still written, but I manage to copy them into a digital format sooner rather than later.  But the power of jotting down is immense. My google keep is an encyclopedia of ideas - most of which may never get implemented.
