People Connect – An Engagement Advantage by Preeti Khanolkar


Life may not be always rosy in all that we do at our workplace. However, learning from both good and bad experiences is the key to growth in our careers. Growth in our careers often comes from reflecting on our successes and failures alike. By embracing challenges and seeking feedback, we can hone our skills and become more resilient professionals.

This book is a treatise for those wanting to engage with employees in creative ways, fostering an environment where innovation and collaboration can flourish. By implementing the strategies discussed, leaders can inspire their teams to think outside the box and contribute meaningfully to the organisation's success.

The author illustrates how genuine relationships at work foster trust, loyalty, and ultimately success through personal anecdotes and reflections. Checklists and corporate jargon are not the subject of this book.

Being present, caring more, and leading with empathy are the keys. Preeti is not here to lecture; rather, she is here to remind us of something that we frequently forget in the hustle and bustle: humans are, first and foremost, emotional beings. This is what truly sets it apart.

The structure is refreshingly straightforward. Because each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of employee engagement in the workplace, it is simple to skip chapters based on your needs. There are no long detours. There won't be a lot of information dumps, merely purposeful, clean storytelling.

It's like receiving a map with a small but important revelation at each stop. Empathy, trust, and the profound human need to be seen and heard are at the heart of People Connect. Preeti gently reminds us that without genuine human engagement, KPIs, surveys, and policies have little value. In an era when "remote" and "distant" are often used interchangeably, this message is particularly timely.

Overall, "People Connect serves as a thoughtful guide for aspiring HR professionals, encouraging them to lead with compassion and empathy.

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness by Deekay

 Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace  Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...

 The Psychology of Marketing: How Marketers Trick Us Into Buying More by Harinder Singh Pelia | Book Review Marketing is such an in-depth concept that it always transitions according to consumer preferences. The extent to which marketers go to sell their products will blow our minds away, as money comes first rather than people's needs. Even the bare detail that hints at our desires is manoeuvred to boost sales figures, often overshadowing the genuine connection between a brand and its audience. This relentless pursuit of profit can lead to practices that prioritise persuasive tactics over transparency, leaving consumers feeling manipulated rather than empowered. sales.

Harinder Singh Pelia’s “The Psychology of Marketing” is all about how marketing creates a bond with the audience, thus tricking the audience into dwelling deep into purchasing th...
