I have been learning a life time and this has really accelerated over the last 14 years as a leadership and team development consultant, coach, catalyst and trainer. While I have resisted blogging all this time to avoid adding to the clutter, I have been inundated with requests for my blog. The requests have sky rocketed after I uploaded the video of one of presentations in Dubai at the ‘Unleashing your DNA’ seminar, where I spoke on the topic; ‘Gearing up for excellence’. There have been almost 500 views of this video in 2 weeks.

My work takes me to many countries and I am blessed to meet people from many cultures, stay in various hotels, see new place and eat in various restaurants. These travels and teachings give me many experiences and insights and I wish to share these with those I am blessed to interact with.

Just in the month of December I spent the first week in Bangladesh on my CEO assignment [more on that later], then I was in Bangkok guiding the Novartis Asia leadership team in their journey of becoming a high performing team. Then I was back in Bangladesh for a few more days before going to Bangalore to speak at the HR summit. Again I was in Dhaka for a few more days before going back home to spend Christmas and New Year with my family. I will start writing about these experiences and insights in the next few blog posts and the journey will continue, hopefully with a lot of fun experiences and insightful learnings.

I’m a Sri Lankan by birth, officially based in Dubai, spending a lot of time in Dhaka at the moment, family in Sri Lanka with my eldest daughter studying in the UK and I live a lot of times in an aircraft, airport or a hotel room somewhere in the universe.

My company helps leaders and teams to improve strategic business results through improving leadership. I formed this company in 1998 after early retirement from corporate life at the age of 35, after being a Director of two of the subsidiary companies of John Keels Holdings, a leading conglomerate in Sri Lanka.

Life is a journey and these journeys are sweeter for teachers like me. The journey is more valuable when more people can learn from the experience. I invite you to join my journey, savour the experience and insights of my journey and share yours with me too.
