Politics - A Profession

This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain. I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While having a LinkedIn profile is not a certificate of a person character, one has to appreciate the intent.

I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

What does it take to be a leader?7 ways leadership from stillness empowers sensitive people

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A LEADER? 7 Powerful Ways Leadership from Stillness Empowers Sensitive People This piece reframes WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A LEADER? as calm presence rather than theatre. I argue sensitive, trauma-affected youth can lead through stillness—anchoring ritual, mindful presence, energetic boundaries and trauma-informed compassion. Expect research, practical space and voice tips, personal stories for spiritually aligned mentorship and guidance now. Do you fear leading because it might expose your softness? If the answer is yes, you’re exactly who I’m writing for. First published- 03/07/2009 13:53 Leadership from Stillness:  Gentle Leadership for Sensitive Youth I start with that heavy question — WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A LEADER? — because I want us to stop measuring leadership by volume. In my work with young people who feel everything, the loudest voices are rarely the most useful. Leadership from stillness is a different grammar: it’s ...
