I, Ritu Singal, a life coach, am here to show you your own power and why you may need it to get through life.

You might be wondering why hire a regular keynote speaker in India and not a subject matter expert. You’ve heard of the saying “Jack of all trades is a master of none,” but no one knows the continuation of the saying: “Jack of all trades is a master of none, but still better than one.”

The beauty of this is that it can cover all aspects, hit the chord in the right places, and come up with unique solutions that no one ever has. That’s what led me to be the Women Entrepreneur of the Year in 2011.

Learning from Scratch

It was my experience from being a gold medalist in law, dealing with difficult personalities at home, hearing about my husband’s business, being a mother, and more. People underestimate what they have. They don’t know that they are already capable of achieving great things if they only try. I can tell you from experience.

MUST WACH

When my husband’s business was in a loss of 50 to 60 crores and he committed suicide, I decided to learn from scratch. I used all my law skills and past experiences to learn how to identify threats in my business. That is how I made life easier—to identify who was doing the wrong things in my business. I decided to learn everything from scratch and used the emotional intelligence that I had gained from different places, even from the scriptures.

They say when you have nothing to lose, go do whatever you want, and I urge you to do the same. You’ve lived certain years of your life and you have gained experiences and lessons that are uniquely yours. Use it. Fuel it. You only know what kind of traumas you’ve survived on your own. And maybe you haven’t healed from it. And thats okay too .But you have learnt important lessons .Before becoming an entrepreneur, I sought counselling to help me survive traumas.

Do not underestimate the power of counselling sessions. And I am not saying this because I sought to become a life coach and business coach after successfully building three companies. You can go to anyone, but go to someone who has reached the success levels that you want to reach—both in terms of emotional intelligence as well as financial success.

You can’t learn from a teacher how to be the CEO of a company when all she has done is get 90% in her exams. In Student of the Year, you must have heard Ram Kapoor’s famous dialogue: “Teachers rule sikhate hai, lekin winners rule banate hai.”You need to learn from an entrepreneur how to be an entrepreneur or else all your efforts may go in vain.You have to learn everyday even though you have mastered it.Excellence is about endless learning.

Empowering Growth Through Keynote speaker Insights

Thats why through my experiences as a keynote speaker in India, I have helped clients gain an all-round view. I’ve made sure that whoever surrounds me strives to be a continuous learner even though they are at the highest in their career. And yes you may fail and its not a sign to quit  when you keep going through your hurdles  Failures make a person more successful.

The difference between a successful person and a non-successful person is that a successful person has failed more times—with the right guidance and learning from mistakes—than a non-successful person ever has. Every opportunity that I have taken, I have given my 100% and squeezed every drop from it.

Keynote speaking is an excellent way to make an impact on large groups. From what I have learned, conversation topics like leadership, mental well-being, and personal development only work when you yourself have done the work. When you yourself have done the work, you get the results you are seeking for your clients to copy you.

A student can only be as good as his teacher. Running three companies—one a winner of Nippon Leather and two other successful companies—has made me instill the qualities that I aspire other people to be.

If you are an organization looking to inspire your team, then my noteworthy services will help you elevate yourself to the place you desire to be. I blend personal experiences, find the other person’s personal strengths, rectify weaknesses, and help create actionable steps for them to achieve their goals.

Unlocking Potential Through Effective Communication

I customize speeches in such a way that it address the heart core of the audience. Whether it is corporate leaders needing fresh perspectives on leadership or individuals looking to pave their path, my speeches offer deep insights. I offer an all round training -even minute details make difference .Body language ,paralinguistics how to shake hands with a person and more. Wherever I have been and conducted events I have seen the true power of being a keynote speaker.

The presence of a renowned keynote speaker can enhance the event’s value. It attracts a bigger audience, adds credibility to the event, and makes sure that the session leaves a lasting impact. Remember believe are motivated by actions more than words .And people can tell the difference whether someone’s words are matching their actions or no .The conviction speaks for itself 

A compelling keynote speaker sets the tone for the entire event, which then helps the audience grow. If you are reading this blog, you already know what I am talking about . 

Your colleagues are not your friends or your family. If you really want to deal with workplace challenges head-on, I suggest you adopt this mindset first. The fact that you are reading this blog, you already know what I am talking about. You have some toxic co-workers or some workplace issues.

But you believe your other work friends are true. Maybe they are. Maybe out of 4 close work friends one is, but you should always be careful. You never know who is spreading information and who could climb on you to get to the ladder you want. If they are not doing now, in future they will, and I am saying this out of experience and coaching several clients.

Body Language Mastery: Boost Your Professional Presence

Next, I want you to observe how you carry yourself at work. Check out confident body language videos at work. Learn from them, and you will get a lot of experience. I want you to practice it. Start small. You don’t have to go big.

Maybe for one month, make sure you always stand with your shoulders straight and hands relaxed, and make eye contact with everyone you talk to in the office. If you don’t know how to make eye contact properly, look at the side of the other person’s eye.

If you’ve already mastered these, then check out other poses where you lack or your facial expressions. Small things matter. 80% of how we communicate is through our body language.

The Art of Paralanguage

Next, I want you to observe your voice tone. You might have a people-pleasing voice tone. Observe your voice. It is usually a voice that you had to learn in order to survive. See how bold personalities like Priyanka Chopra talk. Their voice is firm, they speak slowly and don’t have a people-pleasing tone in their throats. First, slowly start practising small changes.

Learn the Corporate Language

There are corporate languages of putting places and making it sound like a boss. For example, if someone tells you to stay till 10:00 working, you can say, “My work ends at 10:00, but I shall prioritize this as the first thing in the morning.”

What You Speak and How You Speak

You have to be tactical in what you speak in the workplace and how. If you actually want to be promoted, the idea of working hard in silence and letting success make noise won’t benefit you. You have to make yourself heard in corporate so that people actually see what you do.

Listen More, Talk Less

Listen to more of what people say and talk less. People always think the person who talks more has power. Wrong. When you talk more, you are giving more information to people. When they talk, you are learning and getting more information about the person.

Dont let negativity define you

One negative statement by someone can make you feel so bad. For example, a friend came to meet a woman and asked her what gift did your husband give. To that, she replied, “This only.” And then her friend said, “Oh, your husband doesn’t even value you.” Then she started seeing everywhere where her husband didn’t value her.

MUST WATCH

They may cause a hole in your relationships.You may accidentally hate a coworker you didnt hate before or pick unncessary fights in your relationships with others.

Emotional Regulation

Learn how to emotionally regulate yourself. You can practice so many breathing exercises whenever required. Don’t panic, don’t act crazy. Observe, respond, don’t react. This will help you gain leverage. Remember, the one who shows most animosity in the room is always the weak one. You can start it simply by integrating somatic exercises in your life.

Document Your Wins

Document every win of yours so that when the time comes for promotion, you can show where you are winning and what you have contributed to the company.

Now, you might have instances where a co-worker or boss keeps taking credit for your work unnecessarily. Here’s how you can do this.

Politely and firmly change the narrative, and then say, “I appreciate highlighting this. Just to add on a little bit. While working on this project I..

Use email CC it to relevant stakeholders if necessary. If someone takes this, say, “Thanks for sharing this! As discussed in my initial email, I worked on to achieve this outcome.”

Address it diplomatically: “I notice in the meeting that my contributions weren’t acknowledged. I would appreciate it if we could ensure proper recognition moving forward.”

You can also seek support from higher authority such as HR to help you deal with this. However, I know that things are much worse in other companies.

I know what you are talking about and how it impacts you. But each case is different with different complications. And I want to make sure that if we are dealing with complications, I address the root cause. That’s why my counseling sessions are tailored to the needs that you require.

I hear you. You fear marriage—and for good reasons. But before you dismiss relationship counselling, I challenge you: stop reading this blog… only if your reason isn’t listed below.

Drawing from my years of coaching thousands of people, I’ve seen it all. And if finances are your concern? I’ve been a business coach and entrepreneur, helping people break free from struggles and build a future they deserve.

So shall we begin?

• A first-hand witness of a broken marriage while growing up.
• Watched the hardships of marriage, and it doesn’t seem logical.
• Heard gossip about how marriages are only done for dowry or alimony.
• Seen too many divorces—wives take it all or take nothing.
• Fear of spoiling the family’s name.
• Feel that wives only want alimony.

Or perhaps:

• Prey of one-sided love—one or more times.
• Giver in the wrong relationships.
• Relationships drain you.
• Watched people grow loveless in marriages.
• Witnessed or seen physical, emotional, or financial abuse.
• Experienced physical, emotional, financial, or sexual abuse.
• First-hand experience of domestic violence.
• Forced to see in-laws breaking relationships.
• Feel that marriage takes away your sense of control.
• Carry the feeling of being unlovable.
• Often felt misunderstood growing up and felt I wouldn’t fit in a family.
• Feel like you don’t have the heart to love another person the way you did before.

or you may have

• Given up on people in general.
• Have had bad experiences with relationship counselling
• Feel you are not ready for marriage yet.
• Don’t believe in love—only in the idea of love.
• Love somebody of the same sex.
• Love somebody outside of your caste/religion.
• You are asexual.
• Personal finances or marriage finances haven’t been arranged yet
• Your parents don’t approve of the guy you want to date.
• Marriage won’t let you pursue your other dreams.
• Victims of getting stereotypical rights that are not good.
• You are scared you will fall out of love.
• You have no feelings towards anyone or are emotionally numb.

I am 200% sure you have resonated with more than one of these.

I know all of this because I have had clients like this before, and I understand where you are coming from. They were here just like you—either with so many unresolved emotions, tied up in their mess, or completely emotionless and reckless. I see you more than you know. I may not be able to understand you fully as I don’t know your story yet and what it holds for you.

But yes, I do know one thing: all your feelings are valid. Even without knowing your whole story.

Fear of Marriage: Overcoming Past Trauma

So, I urge you to take a pause and imagine three versions of yourself:

1. Your wounded self.
2. The self that can see objectively.
3. Your highest future self—without all these wounds.

You deserve a love that fills your cup even on days you don’t want to. And yes, you’ve been reading it on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or WhatsApp—about how much you deserve the right kind of love. But you still haven’t ingrained it in yourself.

You still don’t believe in it yet because every time you heal from one wound, another comes entangled with it and pulls you back in. It feels like an endless maze, and I know you’ve tried. You’ve tried so many times, but life keeps repeating patterns.

I am here to break those patterns for you and help you live the life you truly want. If you just give yourself a chance—this time, with an expert guiding you.

Me, Ritu Singal.

It may take at least a year or more, but in the end, it is worth it.

I am not here to convince you to only take my relationship counseling services, but if you find someone as good as me—take it.

I, too, have had to deal with so much in life—things I wish no one should ever go through. That’s why I want you to take steps to build your love or at least be the love of your own life by resolving these issues.

Different tools and techniques have helped me build the life I want today—an entrepreneur of three companies, a mother of two children, and a life coach and business coach.

This wasn’t possible for me before, and I never believed my life would turn out this way. Several of my clients felt the same, but now, they are happy with their lives.

So today, I urge you—to take a leap of faith. Give yourself one more shot at life.

Your higher self is calling you. Will you answer it?

If yes, you can visit my website here.

This is me, Ritu Singal, signing off.

Time is money, and I want to make sure you get every bit out of this blog! So, let’s not waste time and get straight to the point: work culture is what sets the tone of your business. What kind of players do you have in your team?

Does your business have what it needs for team-building training? Did you ever try incorporating workplace counselling services in your team to yield the results you have been looking for? If you want to create future leaders, you must have Leadership Skills Training for Success.

See, you might have four types of players in your business:

Low Capability, Low Commitment (C Players)

These are the type of players who are not willing to learn or grow. They produce very low results and give low commitment. They don’t want to ace the game! If mentoring and coaching don’t work, you must fire them guilt-free, or else they will keep eating free lunches at your office.

These are the kind of people you need to avoid hardcore, and please keep your soft hearts out of this. In business, you have to be objective.

Low Capability, High Commitment (B Commitment Players)

These are those players that support you in everything. You can keep thousands of rupees with them and turn a blind eye. Still, they will show up and won’t leave. They will stay loyal to your company for a long time. How do you make the best out of them? Easy: trust and invest in their growth. Give them all possible training, and then you will realize who are the actual A+ commitment ones and who are not.

MUST WATCH

High Capability, Low Commitment (B Capable Players)

Yes, you have heard of these ones. They are like your smart students who study two days before the exam and still manage to crack 70%. They act over smart, come to work whenever they want, and play the fool all along. They talk too much, and managing these people seems hard.

Now let me show you how to deal with these people.Firstly, give them credit, and then challenge them to step up. Just don’t attack their ego; rather, keep motivating them by setting new standards. Use positive reinforcement whenever needed.

High Capability, High Commitment (A Players)

These are the cream of your organization. They are highly capable, as well as they have a high commitment towards your growth. Best of both worlds? Yes, they are. You want to keep them. But many players leave companies. Why? Because when they are undervalued and underappreciated, and you may say that you have tried to make them leaders before and they haven’t done well.

Here’s what you don’t know: They mainly know how to do work and not give work. They need to be trained on how to be a leader. Now, you might be wondering, make the low capability high commitment a skillful leader.

With this scenario, you will have to teach low-capability people how to be a highly capable person + leadership. This is important because if they manage highly capable and highly committed people, they could cause damage.

Teaching leadership skills is easy too. However, leaders need to know how to persuade the other ones. Simple but effective hacks for you or any of your leaders can use this to get the work done:

The Small Yes

When you get people to say yes to small things, they will likely say yes to bigger things too. This effective strategy helps leaders to break the ice with their juniors and build rapport. One can also gauge the efficiency of a candidate by checking out how he/she completes small tasks. And when you make them committed to small tasks, they will be much more committed to bigger tasks.

The Pygmalion Effect

There is a correlation to how we see people versus how they perform. That’s why you don’t label people with negative traits, as they will internalize it, and it will backfire on you. A study found out that when students were labeled as high achievers, they performed like high-achieving students, even though they initially weren’t top-performing students. People want to live up to the image you have of them in your head especially if it is a positive one .

Empty Calorie Time

Some leaders unnecessarily waste their time on empty calorie tasks, such as unnecessary meetings, checking emails excessively, or social media scrolling. The difference between successful leaders and ordinary leaders is they prioritize tasks well. Successful leaders remove such empty calorie tasks from their work, which is how they make things work for themselves.

Productivity and busyness are two seperate things. Successful leaders audit their time and eliminate tasks that do not contribute to their goals. Being busy is not the same as being productive. That’s why prioritization is key. This is, in fact, one of the strongest factors of how I am able to manage three businesses + life coaching + family and me time.

Ask Behavioral Questions

When hiring or evaluating, asking behavioral questions contributes more significantly to future success. Past is the best predictor of future successes. Hence, while asking questions, one should keep in mind: Instead of “What would you do if…,” reframe it as “Did you ever…” or Tell me instances where you have shown….This helps you and your leaders to find the right candidates that you are looking for

Invest in Communication Skills

The most influential leaders are the greatest communicators. They practice speaking in a manner which is clear and doesn’t sound offensive, but focus on the feedback! They are famous for persuasive techniques. Studies have also shown that because of their strong communication, it inadvertently affects the sales of the company. Communication is more than a skill; it’s a superpower in leadership.

There are so many other skills one can hone through leadership and create leaders that build a legacy. That’s how I, Ritu Singal, offer team-building and leadership programs which have successfully yielded results for many companies. To know more, you can check my website.

Bad leaders are what people leave, not corporations. Retaining talent in the face of subpar leadership is one of the largest problems firms face today, and this widely accepted fact. Several business owners whose company growth started to decline felt this about their senior management. I, Ritu Singal analysed the gaps in their senior management. Here’s what I found:

Two Sides of Poor Leadership

On one side of the dice, you have too lenient bosses. On the other hand, you have too many dominating bosses. Both are bad for your organization.

The lenient boss lets things slip under the rug and coddles their juniors which then leads to delayed work, misalignment of values and poor quality frameworks.

The result? His leadership is questioned, wrong people are taken for promotions, poor productivity, unsatisfied clients, lower ROIs and a lot more that could worsen a company.

On the other side, you have aggressive bosses. He often competes with his juniors, withdraws praise and is known for their cruelty.

“Hurt people hurt people “is a saying that resonates with these kinds of archetypes. It is because they inflict the hurt they have been through due to a lack of regulation skills.

Everyone has their own ways in which he deals with pain or stress, which can manifest in different behaviours. These may include; unjustly blaming or firing subordinates, exaggerating situations, being overly critical, mismanaging tasks, and more.

Gen Zs view on companies and bosses.

An average person spends one-third of their life at work. That’s why Gen Z has centred around work-mental health and insists on values on work-life balance. They no longer follow social norms and aren’t afraid to leave companies that cause a dent in their mental health or focus on long hours instead of focused productivity. Gen Z also prefers career growth above all. Both the aggressive boss and lenient boss do not contribute to this. These are just a few factors that affect the workplace.

The Real Impact of Poor Leadership

Real workplace issues go even deeper. For example, we all have been familiar with the term workplace politics. Leaders that fail to recognize employees’ hardwork, make them them feel like their autonomy is taken and overload their employees with unreasonable demands contribute significantly.

It has also been shown to increase anxiety and depression! Some studies even show that a toxic work culture has increased depression by 300 %. Workplace politics is common in large and small businesses with inexperienced seniors and seniors who have never received senior management training.

However, the term inexperience that I am referring to isn’t about number of years a person has been a leader. A person with many years of experience is not experienced if he hasn’t failed, tried new methods or ventured towards growth.

An experienced leader doesn’t compete with his people but uplifts them. He/She doesn’t tell them what to do but guides them on what to do. You will often see him crediting their team for their success and not discussing to one teammate’s private matters with the other.

He is trained in conflict management and is calm and composed throughout. No one dares to try to walk over him. Even if they do, he clears the matter with grace.

Empathy is at his core. He leads with empowerment and realistic goals. His teammates feel seen and heard and are open to talking to him about issues they are facing in the company. They can also tell him when he is wrong but he doesn’t take it negatively. He allows his juniors to fail because he knows failures are stepping stones to success.

Additionally, the leader allows them to express their thoughts and does less micromanagement. He follows this simple mantra: Good leaders build credible teams, and great leaders build future leaders.When he builds future leaders, not only they are satisfied with the good pay, but they also feel a sense of loyalty to him and the company. In many cases, I have seen old employees coming back to their old company because they felt safe, seen, heard and appreciated.

Senior management training and stress management training are often overlooked by companies. Companies will rather spend more money on client acquisition, digital marketing and software than spend on this essential toolkit.

The truth? No amount of spending on sales will benefit you unless you fix your internal management. When my husband’s business was into huge losses of 40 to 50 crore, this was one of the first things that I worked on. You can WATCH how I changed the trajectory of my company.
