Our event Start Fast, Finish Strong: How to Keep the Momentum Going is on! Join @JaymeSmithers and Jessica Livingstone to learn how to keep the momentum going with your team through 2021. Join here:

 How do you win – and continue to win – in the midst of #disruption? The traditional tools and strategies aren't working. We need to take a new path in #salesenablement and #revenue.
Are you planning your #sko or did you already run your annual #saleskickoff? 2021 is all about tackling the challenges 2020 brought to the forefront.
We're asking participants, What are your biggest fears around achieving success in 2021?
Top thought: "I'm afraid that our team members will start operating in silos and collaboration will decline rapidly." #ThoughtExchange #Sales #salestraining
"Virtual meetings aren't the same as face to face." #salesenablement in the virtual world need new resources, tech that will facilitate #scaleddiscussion 👀
How to ensure development continues in the new reality? How do we keep people aligned in a #virtualworkplace? We can't replicate #FaceToFace meetings, but we can find a way to make virtual meetings more impactful and maybe even better than #f2f!
Maybe...#f2f meetings weren't the optimal way to align teams and execute strategies. They worked for extroverts but often silenced other voices in your group.
In 2021, leaders have a choice: #staythecourse and use the tools that worked before the pandemic. Or they can find a better way: 1. Forge partnerships 2. Sharpen your focus 3. Ask the right questions
Forging partnerships: Acknowledge the risk of not collaborating. Share the sales strategy and ask the team what they need to execute on it. Then build a path using their feedback.
Sharpening focus: fewer meetings that accomplish more. Informed decisions that stick. Winning tactics that field reality. Nuanced strategies that address complex problems. Hearing from all of your team means fewer #blankspots.
Alignment at the beginning of the year is easy. But later on, when misalignment inevitably happens – that's an expensive fix. So how do we maintain the alignment from the beginning?
Asking the right questions. @JohnCMaxwell says "Good Leaders Ask Great Questions"
We've worked with leaders who found the solution to increase performance and aligning their organizations. The solution is a #discussion tool #ThoughtExchange that enables leaders to ask the right questions and uncover unbiased data to make better decisions.
#shamelessplug 😳
How do you embed questions into your operating cadence? Using #ThoughtExchange you can ask your entire team or organization and get real-time analytics to inform your strategy.
Example: "What are the 1-3 key factors that have helped you consistently hit your quota?" Imagine getting 1,200 answers with sophisticated analytics and actionable data in just a few minutes.
Improve your culture and collaboration when you lean in to ask the questions and create a discussion with your organization.
Create the space and your team will come with opportunities and insights you might not otherwise discover!
Thanks to all who joined us for Start Fast, Finish Strong today! Stay tuned for the on-demand replay that should be live tomorrow right here: https://t.co/HL0DorQDkk

Shri Hanuman had boon to be immortal. And be present where ever there is Ram stuti.
I came across this beautiful story that I would like to share
#threadstories
#Hanuman ji is believed to live in the foothills of Himalayas. But once he spent a lot of time in Sri Lanka
1/9


Where Ravan's brother ruled for many years..
On his way back he came across tribal people from community called #Mathanga
He gave Darshan to them. The chief of the tribe asked him to keep coming back to guide their generations
Hanuman ji said that whoever recites this mantra
2/9


I will give them Darshan. But there are two conditions
1st he/she must know his relationship with me
2nd there must not be anyone around him in 950 mts radius. If present, that person must also know about my relationship with him /her.

He promised to come after every 41 yrs
3/9

The Mathangs also maintain a ‘logbook’ where they record all the words spoken and ‘leelas’ performed by Lord Hanuman.
They call him their Guru
Who teaches them how to live their lives.
A Sri Lankan organization called Setuu is studying this ‘logbook’ and also conduct
4/9

programmes for Hanuman devotees who can do ‘Sadhna‘ under the guidance of Setuu masters. Devotees who qualify all the criteria will be eligible for Hanuman’s ‘sakshaat darshan‘
The Setuu has certain conditions that need to be kept in mind which includes devoting one complete

Hey, for people interested in this stuff, here's a thread about a change we made to running our facebook account:

So, about 5 years ago, we got on facebook. Why? Well, facebook has a big audience and they like to consume on facebook. So, we started posting comics there, even though we got paid nothing and facebook made money off the free content.

Why? Because back then, once in a while, you would say "also hey, I sell books" or "hey, I'm going to be signing at this event" and your facebook followers would actually see it.

Effectively, the implicit old arrangement was "facebook lets me reach readers efficiently, and I supply facebook with free content they run ads on."

Over time, like a bad business partner, facebook basically made it impossible to reach your audience without *paying them*. Thus, you supply them free content on which they run ads, and you get nothing in exchange.

RISHI BHRINGI AND ARDHA-NAREESHWAR SHIVA

Rishi Bhringi was a devoted bhakt of Mahadev. However, in his devotion to Shiva, he ignored Mata Parvati.

Once, he visited Kailasha along with other Rishis. All the Rishis did parikrama of Shiva and Parvati both except Rishi Bhringi.


The same situation continued whenever Rishi Bhringi visited Kailasha. Mata Parvati decided to teach him that Shiva and Parvati are one and inseparable.
So on one such visit, Mata Parvati sat on the left lap of Mahadev when Rishi Bhringi came.


Seeing this, Rishi Bhringi took the form of a bee(some say bird) and did pradakshina/ parikrama only around Shiva’s head and ignored Ma Parvati.
Angered Mata took away the Shakti from his body. Rishi lost his blood and flesh and was left with a bare skeletal form.


Seeing him in such a situation where he was unable to support himself, Shiva granted a third leg to him.
Shiva then fused one half of his body with that of Ma Parvati and appeared as Ardha Nareeshwar.
Rishi Bhringi finally realised that Shiv and Shakti are one and the same.

IT WAS RISHI KANADA WHO GAVE THE ATOMIC THEORY & TALKED ABOUT THE GRAVITY OF EARTH, 2600 YEARS BEFORE AN APPLE FELL IN FRONT OF NEWTON'S EYES:

Scientists of the modern world credit an English scientist John Dalton (1766 CE -1844 CE) for the Atomic Theory.


And this is because, most of us are not even aware of an ancient Indian Sage named Kanada, who was the first to formulate the theory of atoms, almost 2600 yrs before Dalton and talk about earth's gravity.


Rishi Kanada was born around 600 BCE in Dwarka, Gujarat and he was the son of a philosopher named Ulka. He was fascinated with the minute detailing of the things right from his childhood. Once, when he was very young, he accompanied his father on a journey to Prayaga.


He saw plentiful grains scattered along the path leading to the shore of river Ganga. It's a tradition in Hindu families to scatter the grains for the ants and birds to feed on them. Suddenly, an ant caught his attention, who was feeding on a rice grain.


He was mesmerised by this very fact that how a small grain of rice becomes food for the ant but to satisfy the hunger of a person so many grains are needed together. This incidence made him realize the importance of a single grain of rice.
