I’m Gayathri (guy-three).
It’s my turn to take a deep thankful breath. I am humbled and grateful that you are here and want to know more about me. My goal is to serve as a spark that energizes you to build a vision around your strengths so that you can live and work beyond the ‘shoulds, musts and have tos’ of life.
Workplace stress is real for everyone and while there are many contributing factors, in my experience it comes down to communication. Either we feel we’re not being heard or understood or our message is missing the mark. Or we’re the ones not listening, not grasping the message or not making room for others to make an impact.
Everyone is searching for well-being either in a studio or an app to combat the stress. And while both of these modes can be beneficial, I believe we have the power to create well-being for ourselves and each other in a much simpler way - All it takes is a little bit more listening and little less judgement and we can start to live and work well . We are communicating all day long, so the question is how can we articulate ourselves with more conviction and connect with more compassion to help each other breathe a little easier?
