Shocked to learn of the passing of Shoaib Ahmed.

He gave complete freedom. Never interfered. Could see your viewpoint and implement it. Rare in a boss.

Always in touch. Every call returned.

Rest in peace, Shoaib.

“I call it the invisible hand. It is her prayer.”

Dedication, Becoming Unbreakable, Book 3.

What that refers to is in the book.

This Father's Day: a father in Becoming Unbreakable pays almost a month's salary for a shirt his son wanted, then just says, "Pack it."

Small moments like this are why I dedicated Book 1 to my own father.

PNS Murthy received the books at home.

Then, brought them to our coaching event for my signature.

The wall read: "Everything you can imagine is real."

Some gestures say everything.

The ICF India Coaching Conclave 2026 closed with @AshishVid

Neetu Gambhir said it best, and I resonate completely:

“I don’t think I have laughed that heartily, been moved that deeply, and felt that inspired, all in 60 minutes, in a very long time.”

His session on the three lotteries of life we have won and rarely recognise was a masterclass.

Here is what I noticed as a coach.

He used real-life scenarios and stories from different food joints, and invited every coach in the room to relate each story to one of the 8 ICF competencies.

Then he raised inquiry questions.

Not to give answers. To open something.

Awareness surfaced. Clarity followed. And by the time the session ended, every person in that room had something to take action on when they returned to their own place.

Observation. Reflection. Inquiry. Awareness. Clarity. Action.

That is the same pathway the AmpGro Transition Series is built on:@ real-life scenarios, reflective questions, and an invitation to look inward before acting outward.

Three books. Same pathway. Different journeys.

And in this picture is someone I want to acknowledge.

Vijayalakshmi S - MCC ACTC MP S, MCC — my mentor. The coach who helped me become the coach I am today.

Thank you, Vijayalakshmi S - MCC ACTC MP. This award belongs to you, too.

Becoming Unbreakable

A boy born on the banks of the Godavari.
