Connecting communities with compassion is my core calling.
For twenty years, I have explored ways to connect more deeply with people and the places where they live and work. Through Bhav yatra and diverse work experience, I have adapted transformational models to inspire changemakers across private, public, and social sectors. I have touched multi-dimensions starting as a finance executive and recently serving as national ops head for India’s topmost nonprofit in the disability sector.
I love working alongside transformers big and small – creative changemakers who are highly motivated to grow stronger organizations and lead impact. These include individuals, corporations, philanthropists, and nonprofits.
There are of course many ways to design impact-oriented transformation, including techniques of “appreciative inquiry” and “listening circles” that respect and hold “inner space” for the deeper work required before jumping into corporate action. For optimal results, I enjoy integrating various counseling and facilitation skills into what I call the “3C” approach: Connection. Community. Compassion.
The 3Cs can flexibly integrate several lines of effort:
- Supporting philanthropists to design sustainable impact strategies.
- Assisting nonprofits to improve their end-to-end learning processes, from design, development, implementation, to monitoring and evaluation.
- Building trust-based teams who demonstrate resilience with humor.
- Convening multi-stakeholder dialogues and listening circles.
- Matching local and international talent with changemakers to amplify community voices and impact.
My colleagues and partners call me a “Sculptor of Culture.” I suppose it does resemble a form of social art – contributing excellence through continuous refinement, chipping away at our inner and outer transformation.
The 3c framework – connection, community, compassion – helps build a powerful values-driven culture that aligns head, heart, and hand. People learn to “walk their talk” with purpose in service to others.
