In my limited experience as a Coach of Professional and
Personal Success for individuals, young men and women; I have always upheld
this thought: Hurdles are avenues for growth and excellence.
Authentic Creativity, Divergent thinking, and Communication
Skills are some of the soft-assets ‘wannables’ are expected to sport. However,
if someone possesses the first two of the soft-assets listed above; he / she
seldom gets the right springboard due the lack of the third soft-asset –
Communication Skills.
Youngsters across the different age-group always take
solace by pacifying themselves thinking that they have had their formal school
education not from a convent or in a posh school.
Should one settle down for mediocrity in his / her life
by banking on these self-doubting thoughts? I would say never!
Having pursued my Primary and Secondary Education in
Tamil (Vernacular Language) Medium; not only have I won several awards for
Tamil Debates / Oratory / Poem / Creative writing; but also in English Public Speaking
/ Creative and Scientific Writing, and Extempore.
These are something that I could achieve in competitions
/ events.
- Silver Medalist in Regional-Level Research Paper Presentation
- Second Place in National-Level Extempore,
- Thirukkural Selvan Award by World Thirukkural Consortium,
- District-level Second Place in Oratory,
- Many prizes in Poem and Creative Writing at the School / College / Catholic Vicariate levels; and Publication in several Youth / Spiritual Magazines.
- National-level Best Research Paper Award
- Have published several research papers in International Journals and have so far made more than 20 presentations in colleges / universities across South India in the capacities of Research Scholar / Resource Person, Invited Speaker on various domains
Now what I consider to be the pinnacle:
I am glad to have my
brief article / contribution published by the World’s top-rated Business
Management Magazine – a subsidiary of Harvard University. Harvard Business
Review Magazine gets translated in more than 11 languages.

Don’t you agree that anyone can transmute the hurdles
into avenues of growth and excellence??
