First two months - Experiences & Learnings!

Dear all

First two months of being on my own are over on 30th Sept. I had kept a target of 90 days for me to establish my company and get few clients on board. By the grace of God I have got some good clients and God willing my Company, Mantteva would also go from strength to strength. In fact today, the website has also been launched

I have had the pleasure of having varied clientele, be it the product mix or Industry segment but have something in common - yes you guessed it right, Human Resource challenges. Be it challenges related to selection of right employees for issuing ESOPs not plagued by any biases to understanding cultural issues post takeover by current employer and taking the organization to a path in order to ensure a professional organisation in the making - it has been indeed a wonderful 60 days.

The amount of satisfaction one gets after suggesting a solution to some of the challenging situations is difficult to articulate. I have also been very lucky to get very accomodating and appreciative clientelle. HRD is a long drawn process and the lead time before one sees visible results varies anywhere from 6 months to 2 years depending upon the intervention, support system and the maturity level of the organisation. So one has to have some patience for visible results but zero tolerance for any non-conformity.

Some of the learnings for myself have been better time management, personal fitness despite being away from my tread for weeks and appreciation to stay connected through Skype.

Another significant learning has been introduction to Anthony Robbins

through his website, audio downloads and his video clips. Not to forget a 60 page report on my personal strengths and areas of improvements, thanks to a test for a SWOT analysis. I also heard him speak on "Cutting Edge" and his words made lot of sense to me as an individual and as an HR professional. I hope to see him in person and attend one of his workshops sometime in near future to enhance my own abilities as well as help my clients by adapting some of the learnings.

But that's going to wait for a while, meanwhile its time for my passion - Mantteva.

Take care and may God bless all.
