TRANSFORMATION 2022 Blueprint

Welcome to The Dileepp Niggamm Show. I am a John Maxwell Leadership and Transformation  Coach, a Motivational Speaker, a Podcaster, and an Entrepreneur. I am helping conscious achievers, win over their limiting fears and live a limitless life.

As we move towards the close of 2021, we are inspired to create fresh New Year resolutions for the year 2022. Every year, countless individuals use this opportunity to rewrite new year resolutions, and yet, less than 30-60 days later, 80% of the New Year’s resolutions fail.

Is it that people aren’t serious about creating change? Are their goals too lofty? While redefining our new year resolutions, we need to ask ourselves, are we interested or committed?

In this SUCCESS 2.0 segment, I share a brand new perspective on New Year resolutions, and I wish to touch upon something extremely fascinating, the transformation of a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly. Butterflies symbolize a beautiful change and the transformation journey of a caterpillar offers a few interesting life lessons which humans can emulate.

In my talk today, I present below the Transformation 2022 Blueprint, which would help you achieve a lasting positive change, that would steer you to a new success path in 2022 and beyond.

Limiting beliefs are in fact like icebergs, which float beneath our consciousness and seriously impact the choices we make in life.

BUILDING LASTING RELATIONSHIPS, Part 1: SUCCESS 2.0

You would have heard the statement "Our people are our biggest asset". To make the statement more precise, I would like to say "The relationships with our people is our biggest asset." Whether in a corporate environment or in personal life, the time & commitment you invest in building relationships, would build an asset which would pay returns for the rest of your life. 

The purest form of relationship is the mother-child relationship. It signifies unconditional love and servitude and that's what is needed to build lasting relationships. Relationships are the cornerstone of success and are critical to every sphere of life and the one who needs to take charge of building lasting relationships is 'You'.

In this episode, I share life stories from my 40 years of corporate career across India, Singapore, and Canada and more than 40 years of married life, to elaborate on the subject.

Enjoy the talk and share your comments, which one principle you would like to incorporate in your life, to build lasting relationships.
