1/ We just concluded our #ZohoDay2021 online event for industry analysts, with record participation.🙏

We hosted this on Zoho's own event platform with our home grown audio-video framework, a combination of @ZohoBackstage, @ZohoShowTime and @zohomeeting.

I will explain this.

My dad led an organization of over 300,000 employees.

When I took on my biggest marketing & events team to date (35 employees) I asked him how the *heck* he did it. Here's what he said and what helped me every day. 🧵

Remember you're leading all the employees under you, but you're not *managing* them all. You're managing your direct reports, which should be 5-7 individuals max. Focus on them.

When you interact with the employees you don't manage directly, get to know them as people first, that'll be the most valuable information in leading them. Remembering everything you learn about them is hard, but doing so will make you a superhero.

If you're not going to empower the managers under you, why do you have them? If you see room for improvement, let the manager know and let them make the change on their teams and come to you with questions/concerns. This will save you SO much time.

If you're the smartest person in any room - you're doing it wrong. As a leader, your job is bringing together the best people to get the job done - your skillset is identifying those people, not being one of them.

hi. zac here. this is a thread for people who make and sell indie books. i see a lot of people making the act of shipping books needlessly hard on themselves and i want help 1/x

i just printed and shipped ~40 copies of a book i co-wrote with giacomo pope. before this, I'd shipped a few books one at a time. now here is my current, efficient method: 2/x

buy some cheap bubble mailers off the internet. like $15 for 50 mailers. they have little peel-away strips to seal them. our book was 4.5"x6.5" so i used 6x9 mailers. roomy but still sleek. could fit extra prizes in there too. 3/x

put your book in a mailer and weigh it on a coffee or drug scale, in ounces. a digital scale costs less than $10 online. i use one for coffee. our book in the mailer was 7.2oz. 4/x

here's the really useful bit. google how to print a shipping label from paypal. it's free, i mean, you just pay for the postage. you can do it through usps or ups, domestic or international. 5/x

MUDRAS AND THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT.

Mudras – meaning ‘seal’, mark’ or ‘gesture’ in Sanskrit – are said to intensify the effects of our yoga or meditation practice and enhance the flow of energy. They are also used in Indian classical dance.

Any living body is made of 5 distinct elements :
Fire, Wind, Ether/Space, Earth, and Water.

According to Ayurveda, disease is the result of an imbalance in our body caused by a deficiency or an excess of one of these 5 elements.

The 5 fingers represent : Thumb:fire, Forefinger:wind, Middle finger: space, Ring finger:earth, & Little finger: water.

The fingers essentially act as electrical circuits & the use of mudras adjust the flow of energy which balance these various elements & accommodate healing.

The finger tips of every living being have many concentrated nerve root endings which are free energy discharge points. Science also confirms that around every tip there is a concentration of free electrons.

By touching together of the tips of the fingers or the finger tips to other parts of the palms this free energy (Prana) is redirected back into the body along specified channels, back up to the brain.

Because Mudras work on Nerves, they are "Neural Science."
