The country has been blessed with a heavy downpour this morning – what a great start to the week. On my way to work, I met many people some with their umbrellas, others with raincoats… all trying to be at their workplaces on time. That is the kind of determination and attitude that makes some people winners while other people mere procrastinators. Many people go through a lot to be at workplaces on time. For others, it is a habit. As the world transforms, many practices are emerging to respond to the working environment of the 21st era. In this…

Do women deserve a seat on the table?
Of course, yes. They have all it takes to sit at the highest decision-making body. Here is why. Most women never run away from responsibilities. They make sure they finish whatever they start. I have seen this from all the women in my life – starting with Mom, then my wife, my sisters, and colleagues at the place of work as well as my clients. And now my children.
