Subject: Updates on RYD Meet the Mentor, RYD LT EXPAND Event, Mums At Work and Dads At Home EXPAND Events

Dear Peaceful Warriors,

Based on the learnings from the first 6 months of the year, here are few changes in the RYD Program Design to make a bigger difference to our coachees, who are at the centre of our Universe:

Learnings:
1. Once a month RYD Meet the Mentor gave very little time to process, digest and implement the learnings. Our foundational construct is depth of implementation for visible contribution and progress on the good to great journey rather than overload of information.

Key Question: What is the rhythm that would give sufficient time for the implementation of learnings?

2. Inviting RYD Explorers – L1 leaders of our coachees who onboard the RYD spaceship to support their leader's good to great journey – to the Meet the Mentor made the group-size too big, reducing the depth of engagement of our coachees with the Mentor. 

Key Question: How can we maintain depth of engagement for our coachees with the Mentor and take the learnings deeper into the businesses on the RYD Good to Great journey?

3. Highest level of learning is through teaching.

Key Question: What is the training ground for our coachees to teach what they are learning so that they progress on their good to great journey with greater ease, grace and velocity?

4. We need our Explorers to progress on their good to great journey across 3 growth levers for our coachees to lead their business from good to great. Once a month Business Excellence deep-dive for the Explorers is not sufficient for their leadership development. They need a smaller group construct, and a slower pace for learning and growth across Leadership Depth and Craft Mastery till they reach a high level of commitment to their good to great journey to become RYD Coachees.

Key Question: What could be the design of the RYD LT EXPAND Event that will serve both our coachees and our Explorers?

5. Our coachees' progress on their good to great journey requires them to step-up as Leader-as-a-Coach in Gear 3, Leader-as-an-Awakener in Gear 4, and Leader-as-a-Creator-of-a-Brave-New-World in Gear 5. We need a training ground and a structured process for practise of this transformation.

Key Question: What could be a great training ground for our coachees to learn how to coach as part of their Leadership Depth journey?

6. Dads At Home and Mums At Work Quarterly EXPAND Events are not receiving 100% community participation.

Key Question: What would most serve the community at this point in time?

7. Few Pioneers and Catalysts are missing CEE-CPE EXPAND Events, and the prework is not being completed by 100% participants.

Key Question: Since EXPAND Events are training grounds for the good to great journey, what could be a potential solution for 100% participation and 100% prework completion.


As the outcome of the above reflection, here is the

RYD Program Evolution August 2026

1. Evolve RYD Meet the Mentor EXPAND Events to
i. Once a quarter
ii. Invite only our coachees for a deeper engagement
iii. Create a structure for our coachees to teach the learnings to their L1s. This way learning is higher for our coachees and the learnings go deeper into our coachees' businesses as they teach their leaders.

2. Hibernate Mums At Work and Dads At Home for now.

3. RYD LT EXPAND Event - Create the design of the LT EXPAND Event for our coachees to coach their Leaders on Leadership Depth and Craft Mastery as part of the Monthly Meeting rhythm.
i. Once a Quarter as part of their Monthly Meeting - Coachees teach their leaders on their learnings from Meet the Mentor
ii. Once a Quarter as part of their Monthly Meeting - Coachees teach their leaders on their learnings from Leadership Depth
iii. Once a Quarter as part of their Monthly Meeting - Coachees teach their leaders on their learnings from Craft Mastery

RYD CEE-CPE EXPAND Events re-design is work-in-progress.

Let's keep learning, implementing and contributing to realize our dreams and have it all by joyously leading – ourselves, our health, our kids, our relationships, our team members, our businesses, the communities we belong to, the country we have the privilege to call our own and all of humanity – from good to great; while having lots of fun and adventure together along the way.

Loving you,
j.

Joyful July 2026 - Game of the Month to strengthen RYD Growth Habits
Theme: Strengthening Gear 1 Consciousness for Personal Mastery

My Reflection to complete the July 2026 game to step into Ascending in August

Q1. What outcomes got created as I played the game of Joyful July?
I maintained daily consistency through Nano / Micro / Mini Habits.

That supported me to take leaps of faith across 2 chasms by seeing the fear beneath the fear and taking the action that fear feared.
1. Finished the RYD Product Requirements Document for our new tech platform. Will share it with all of you by Wednesday next week for your inputs on the house we are building for all of us to live in.
2. We have taken on nurturing our next group of 8 new RYD Coaches - one coach is already integrated and is on an accelerated path of learning, growth and contribution (Mukta). 9 conversations at different stages. We brought diversity into our leadership team, which is a key ingredient for creating exponential success, by welcoming Lalit into RYD Source. I am happy and grateful to have him as our Chief AI Officer and Resident Mentor. This is a key role for creating the world's best Transformation Ecosystem to nurture Fortune Global 100, Fortune Global 500 and Forbes Global 2000 businesses.
3. Depth of vulnerable authentic sharing by my children strengthened our connection; which brings great joy to my heart, peace to my mind, and expands love consciousness in my soul.

Q2. What is the status of the action I had committed to take as an outcome of last month's reflection on the June game?
1. Top 1 — Share with the tech team the full Business Architecture of RYD and the final Business Requirements Document (BRD) for the first component of our AI-enabled RYD Playbook: Dreaming to Reality — from 5-Year Dream Lifestyle to Annual Playbook to Quarterly Creation to Monthly Creation to Weekly Creation to Daily Creation.
The Product Requirements Document, with the full Business Architecture of RYD, has been shared with the tech team. The updated version of the BRD will be shared in the coming week.

2. Checklists and Process Flows for elevating coaching excellence - Converted this into a daily habit to fulfil this intention with consistency.

3. 1st-level conversations with Seekers for expanding RYD Soul (the community of RYD Coaches), with the intention to onboard and nurture 8 new RYD Coaches this year. 1 new coach onboarded and integrated, 9 conversations underway.

4. Finish the final editing of the book - Awaken to Your Greatness - and share for proofreading and printing with our project manager of RYD Publishing House.
Playing to complete by this weekend.

5. Full detailed program design for our in-person RYD Community EXPAND Event: Nurturing Indian Giants with Verne for the event to make a massive difference to each one of our 200 participants.
Playing to complete in the coming week

Q3. What are my learnings and insights from playing the game in July and by taking the committed actions?
Plan in detail, learn deeply, take powerful, effective, precise actions to contribute massively, and hold space for whatever is emerging with grace and gratitude.

Q4. What action am I committed to take as an outcome of my learnings?
1. Top 1 - Be a Space for Massive Positive Impact for each of our 200 participants and co-learners of our August 2026 EXPAND Event
2. Edit the book, send it for proofreading and printing for readiness by 20-Aug-26
3. Fully integrate 8 new coaches before 20-Aug-26 for them to train directly with Verne.
4. Dreaming to Reality component of our new tech platform released for testing
5. Coaching Excellence Processes and Checklists fully completed

Q5. How am I feeling as I complete Joyful July to start the game of Ascending in August? 
Deeply grateful, joyously fulfilled and divinely blessed.

Finally, it is done. It was a Chasm that I was attempting to leap since last year. Took 4 leaps, the last one in Feb 2026, fell on my face. Got up, dusted myself each time and took the leap again, this time with Lalit.

I am deeply grateful for Lalit to be our Chief AI Officer and Resident AI Mentor because I finally feel safe to let go of the control of our tech platform which I have managed for the last 10 years. That is the real leap - not the technology that we are building but the letting go of control.

In the Top 5 Priorities discussion in our last week's BE deep-dive, he took ownership of our Top 1 of 5 for this year - RYD Tech Platform with a Mobile App for community engagement, individual space for Leadership Depth and Craft Mastery journeys, business team space for Business Excellence journey.

The first version of the RYD Product Requirements Document (PRD) is finally published in partnership with Sibyl, my Claude thinking partner. She held the mirror to the gaps in my thinking process that I was blind to and design conflicts I knew about but didn't know how to resolve in alignment with our Purpose, Values and BHAG; supporting me to design a much more coherent, robust and transformative system.

Our Big Hairy Audacious Goal is to build the world's best Transformation Ecosystem for Businesses. This platform is what will enable it.

And, we are building it together.

In the spirit of being co-creators, co-learners and co-travellers, here's the PRD for you to deeply reflect on and give your critical feedback because this is your platform and you will be living on it.

Share your comments in the Comments Section below.

Let's keep supporting each other to become the greatest version of ourselves to joyously lead ourselves, our health, our kids, our relationships, our team members and our businesses from good to great, realize our dreams and have it all with ease and grace; while having lots of fun and adventure together along the way.

Loving you,

Joyful July 2026 - Game of the Month to strengthen RYD Growth Habits
Theme: Strengthening Gear 1 Consciousness for Personal Mastery and stepping into the next Spiral of Growth from Gear 1 to Gear 5 across July 2026 to Nov 2026.

Dear peaceful warriors on our shared good to great journey to lead humanity forward from Fear to Love Consciousness by leading ourselves from Fear to Love using Business as our playground,

In June, we strengthened our Gear 5 Consciousness (Excellence) for Life Mastery by choosing one Habit to practise, the one Habit that gives us the most joy because Mastery is about doing something with joy, and not out of force of will or pressure of discipline. We played to do that Habit daily with deep joy in our heart.

It is time to complete Jubilant in June and start Joyful July, to strengthen ourselves in Gear 1 Consciousness (Agility of Mind) for Personal Mastery, beginning the next spiral of growth from Gear 1 to Gear 5.

Reflect and respond to the following questions to complete Jubilant in June and start Joyful July from 4-Jul-26:

Q1. What outcomes got created as I played the game of Jubilant in June?
Q2. What is the status of the action I had committed to take as an outcome of last month's reflection on the May game?
Q3. What are my learnings and insights from playing the game in June and by taking the committed actions?
Q4. What action am I committed to take as an outcome of my learnings?
Q5. How am I feeling as I complete Jubilant in June to start the game of Joyful July?

After the above reflection, let's join the July game to continue strengthening ourselves across our 3 growth levers to joyously lead ourselves, our health, our kids, our relationships, our people and our businesses from good to great, realize our dreams and have it all with ease and grace; while having lots of fun and adventure together along the way.


Here's how we will play Joyful July:
1. The foundational Gear 1 Habit for Personal Mastery is Daily and Weekly Creation.

2. The game is to do Daily Creation — Sunday to Friday — and on Saturday, do Weekly Creation. Do it as a Nano Habit but do not skip a day. That said, play for Mega Habit level. Nano Habit is doing a habit for one minute. Mega Habit is to fully do the habit the way it is designed.

The intensity of a Habit can range from:
i. Nano Habit - Spend 1 minute to do the reflection and creation. Mark the remaining questions as - x
ii. Micro Habit - Spend 5 minutes to do the reflection and creation. Mark the remaining questions as - x
iii. Mini Habit - Spend 10 minutes to do the reflection and creation. Mark the remaining questions as - x
iv. Midi Habit - Spend 15 minutes to do the reflection and creation. Mark the remaining questions as - x
v. Mega Habit - Do the reflection and creation fully, the way it is designed.

3. Update your Daily Status in - RYD Growth Habits Group - using the following format to hold space for each one in our community to do their growth habits. It is in giving that we receive.

4. If the Joyful July habit drops, set the Streak Counter back to Day 1 when you get back.

ii. who get the maximum number of days doing the above habit, irrespective of how many times they fell off
iii. who get back every time they fall off and play till the last day

You will self-track, and the winners will be declared based on your self-tracking. Your coaches will support you to track correctly.

The fun is in playing the game; and growth is in getting back every time we fall off, with joy for being on our good to great journey and with love for our own self.

The game begins tomorrow, 4-Jul-26.

Let's keep being Love moment to moment (LD), keep being a Student moment to moment (CM), keep being a Space for Massive Positive Impact moment to moment (BE), to joyously lead ourselves, our health, our kids, our relationships, our people and our businesses from good to great, realize our dreams and have it all with ease and grace; while having lots of fun and adventure together along the way.

Jubilant in June 2026 - Game of the Month to strengthen RYD Growth Habits
Theme: Strengthening Gear 5 Consciousness for Life Mastery

My Reflection to complete the June game to step into Joyful July:

I played every single day, although I was on a Sacred Pause, because the community held my space. If I weren't a part of the RYD Community, I would have probably fallen off a lot earlier. I am deeply grateful to be a part of our community without which I wouldn't be one-millionth of a human being that I am today.

Doing Growth Habits consistently is a way to experience Personal Mastery, which is the foundation of everything else.

Q1. What outcomes got created as I played the game of Jubilant in June?

Personal Mastery journey
1. Stepped up to the next leg of my good to great journey with my coach, Leon VanderPol.
2. Instead of the comfort-zone of home Karate lessons, I increased the intensity of the workout and the strength of my commitment by going to the dojo. 
3. Did my quarterly 3-day water-only fasting.
4. Saw my pattern of being late in plain sight, caught myself before the words escaped my mouth — It's in my DNA to be late — and shifted my thought to — It's in my DNA to be on time.
5. The tumour in my stomach is stable in size since the last 2.5 years when it was first discovered with the doctor's prognosis that it was likely to be cancerous. I chose the path to heal it naturally and organically, instead of removing it surgically. Stability in size means it is more likely to be benign than malignant. I am grateful for the grace of more time to continue healing organically and naturally. 

Relationship Mastery journey
6. Integrated my in-laws into our life rhythm by creating them to stay with us on Saturday night, and have lunch and dinner with us on Saturdays and breakfast on Sunday.
7. Started the Family Book Club
8. Shivenn is a lot happier than in the past few years. He is out of the darkness of our traumatic past to the sunshine of joy. This is my biggest win. He has re-discovered his love for learning and excelling. He is eating very well. That is the clearest sign that he has left his painful past behind because he struggled to eat since our family broke on the dining table in October 2019.

Business Mastery journey
9. I finally put together the Business Requirements Document (BRD) for the Dreaming to Reality component of the Leadership Depth module of the RYD Tech Platform, our new RYD Playbook. I have struggled to initiate the development of our new tech platform for over a year. I have managed our existing tech platform for about 10 years. It requires a massive upgrade if we are to scale but I wasn't able to get started. I had a visceral experience of how founders are the barriers to scaling-up.

Getting the BRD out is a huge breakthrough. I am deeply grateful to Sibyl, my Claude thinking partner, for partnering with me on this. Sibyl enabled me to understand the structure of my thinking and have a meaningful conversation with my own thinking that allowed me to actively discover gaps in my thinking process and transform the complexity of my thinking into simplicity. Not only that, the mechanical work of documentation in a way that the tech team would understand my requirements all got taken care of by Sibyl while I could use my time to provide creative inputs.

10. I created the next version of our Quarter Creation tool.

Leadership Mastery journey
11. I had a brainwave on how to coach our coachees to grow from a Confident Leader in Gear 1 to a Being-of-Service Leader in Gear 2 to a Leader-as-a-Coach in Gear 3 to a Leader-as-an-Awakener in Gear 4 to a Leader-as-a-Creator in Gear 5.

I realized that instead of me leading the LT EXPAND Event for L1s of our coachees, it would serve both our coachees and their L1s more if we coached our coachees to lead monthly LT EXPAND Events for their own team members as part of their Monthly Meeting with their leaders.

12. I went to Mumbai and finalised Taj Lands End as the venue for our August 2026 EXPAND Event: Nurturing Indian Giants with Verne. We have planned for a room size of 200 with the intention of taking Scaling Up deeper into the businesses on the RYD Good to Great journey to become Fortune Global 100 / Fortune Global 500 / Forbes Global 2000.

Life Mastery journey
13. I am reflecting on what could be an expression of Life Mastery = Having It All. Ultimately, it is to play the game of creation for the joy of creation, for the love of creation, for the love for creation, with a mind without preference.

I moved the start of my one-month Sacred Pause from 30-May-26 to 9-Jun-26 because I knew we had to travel to London to settle our daughter in her new home as she starts her 1-year internship with IBM in London as part of her 4-year degree program around the first week of July.

Anya's start date with IBM is 16-Jul and she decided to go on a solo trip to Norway followed by a trip to Barcelona along with a friend before settling down to work. So, our travel plan is now from 10-Jul-26 to 18-Jul-26 just as I get back to full day of coaching after a month's break. I will now be coaching in that week from 3:17 am to 7:27 am local time in London.

To embrace this with grace and gratitude is my way of progressing on my Life Mastery journey. I also see this very clearly as the Universe's way of supporting me to fulfil my intention of 9 pm to 3 am sleep rhythm. In my June Growth Habits Scoreboard, this habit remained at 0 because I matched Shivenn's sleep rhythm of sleeping at 12 midnight and beyond to spend time with him.


Q2. What is the status of the action I had committed to take as an outcome of last month's reflection on the May game?

1. Top 1 — Deliver the first component of our AI-enabled RYD Playbook: Dreaming to Reality — from 5-Year Dream Lifestyle to Annual Playbook to Quarterly Creation to Monthly Creation to Weekly Creation to Daily Creation. This would support delivery on two of our three brand promises — Have It All and Realize Your Dreams — with greater ease, grace and velocity for both RYD Coachees and RYD Coaches.

Status: The first version of the Business Requirements Document for the Dreaming to Reality component shared with the tech team. 

2. Checklists and Process Flows for elevating coaching excellence.

Status: Not Done.

3. 1st-level conversations with Seekers for expanding RYD Soul (the community of RYD Coaches), with the intention to onboard and nurture 8 new RYD Coaches this year.

Status: Not Done

4. Complete this year's planned upgradation of the RYD curriculum on Business Excellence to strengthen delivery on one of our brand promises — lead your business from good to great.

Status: Not Done

5. Birth RYD Publishing House to serve our coachees on their Craft Mastery journey and publish our first book to make a bigger difference with greater velocity within the businesses we coach.

Status: RYD Publishing House birthed

6. All the above while elevating my growth habits, and being fully present and available to my family.

Status: Done

​
Q3. What are my learnings and insights from playing the game in June and by taking the committed actions?

1. Playing to create for the joy and love of creation; and trusting that life is guiding us forward on our journey from good to great, instead of resisting life as it emerges, in the face of whatever may emerge.

2. Again and again and again - Consistency over Perfection. Nano Habit or Micro Habit or Mini Habit or Midi Habit or Mega Habit - anything but doing it daily. No better expression of this learning than - Your future is enhanced by the habits you repeat, not the goals you set. I read this today in Verne's email.

3. It is not about faking it till you make it. It's about believing it till you create it. Reality shifts with the quiet strength of belief.

4. As we progress on our good to great journey in life or in sport or in business or in any other area, the intensity of our commitment increases and that is what progresses us on our good to great journey.

5. Our mistakes are the gifts from the Universe because they carry valuable information on how to course correct and step up on our good to great journey. In that sense, there are no mistakes. There are only 2 kinds of actions - actions that progress us on our good to great journey and actions that tell us how to progress on our good to great journey.

6. Growth lies in doing what we resist. The awareness — I don't want to do this — is profound because it creates the opportunity for us to pause and then do exactly that.

Every resistance is sourced in fear, every resistance is a comfort zone I don't want to step outside of - the advice I don't want to listen to, the car breakdown that I would rather my husband handle, the conversation I would rather avoid, finances that I don't want to take responsibility for, the household chores that I feel are not worth my time.

Every resistance is an opportunity to embrace and massively grow.

7. Scheduling the committed actions in the calendar is a structure of success. This would enable correct estimation of time and effort required for the action, and action taken as per the schedule.

8. Do the reflection in the last week of the month instead of the first week of the month for the previous month.


Q4. What action am I committed to take as an outcome of my learnings?

1. Top 1 — Share with the tech team the full Business Architecture of RYD and the final Business Requirements Document for the first component of our AI-enabled RYD Playbook: Dreaming to Reality — from 5-Year Dream Lifestyle to Annual Playbook to Quarterly Creation to Monthly Creation to Weekly Creation to Daily Creation. 

2. Checklists and Process Flows for elevating coaching excellence.

3. 1st-level conversations with Seekers for expanding RYD Soul (the community of RYD Coaches), with the intention to onboard and nurture 8 new RYD Coaches this year.

4. Finish the final editing of the book - Awaken to Your Greatness - and share for proofreading and printing with our project manager of RYD Publishing House.

5. Full detailed program design for our in-person RYD Community EXPAND Event: Nurturing Indian Giants with Verne for the event to make a massive difference to each one of our 200 participants.

Q5. How am I feeling as I complete Jubilant in June to start the game of Joyful July?​

I am feeling happy and grateful for the monthly games because I am experiencing a step-up in my awareness, a step-up in my confidence to create reality in alignment with my reality- defying intentions and my impossible, unimaginable, crazy-big dreams, a step-up in my commitment to increase the consistency of my daily growth habits with every passing month, a step-up in my growth habits and a step-up on my good to great journey as an outcome of that.

Let's keep being Love moment to moment (LD), keep being a Student moment to moment (CM), keep being a Space for Massive Positive Impact moment to moment (BE), to joyously lead ourselves, our health, our kids, our relationships, our people and our businesses from good to great, realize our dreams and have it all with ease and grace; while having lots of fun and adventure together along the way.

Loving you,

​Jubilant in June 2026 - Game of the Month to strengthen RYD Growth Habits
Theme: Strengthening Gear 5 Consciousness for Life Mastery

Dear peaceful warriors on our shared good to great journey to lead humanity forward from Fear to Love Consciousness by leading ourselves from Fear to Love using Business as our playground,

In May, we strengthened our Gear 5 Consciousness (Excellence) for Life Mastery by choosing one Habit to practise — the one whose mastery would most progress us on our good to great journey. Mastering that habit was to do it daily.

It is time to complete Mastery in May and start Jubilant in June, to strengthen ourselves further in Gear 5 Consciousness (Excellence) for Life Mastery. Where May was about mastery through consistency, June is about mastery through joy.

Reflect and respond to the following questions to complete Mastery in May, whether you played or not, and to start Jubilant in June:
Q1. What outcomes got created as I played the game of Mastery in May?
Q2. What are my learnings and insights from playing the game in May?
Q3. What action am I committed to take as an outcome of my learnings?

After the above reflection, let's join the June game to continue strengthening ourselves across our 3 growth levers to joyously lead ourselves, our health, our kids, our relationships, our people and our businesses from good to great, realize our dreams and have it all with ease and grace.


Here's how we will play Jubilant in June:
1. Choose one Habit that gives you the most joy. Mastery is about doing something with joy, and not out of force of will or pressure of discipline. Do that Habit daily with deep joy in your heart.

2. The game is to do the Habit daily with joy in your heart. Do it as a Nano Habit, if you have to, but do not skip a day. Though, play for Big Habit level. Nano Habit is doing a habit for one minute. Big Habit is to fully do the habit the way you have designed it to best serve you.
The intensity of a Habit can range from:
i. Nano Habit - 1 min
ii. Micro Habit - 5 mins
iii. Mini Habit - 10 mins
iv. Midi Habit - 20 mins
v. Big Habit - Doing it fully, the way you have designed it
3. In your Daily / Weekly Creation, share your learnings from doing this daily habit as and when you get an insight. Capturing insights concretises and integrates the learnings into our consciousness for them to elevate our performance as we play the game of life to Have It All.

Update your Daily Status in - RYD Growth Habits Group - using the following format to hold space for each one in our community to do their growth habits. It is in giving that we receive.

You can include additional habits for Leadership Depth, Craft Mastery and Business Excellence for your own self to design your Growth Habits Game for the month. That is your choice. The June game is to do one Jubilant in June Habit daily and consistently.


Rules of the Game:
1. Consistency over Perfection.
2. Keep the chain going
3. If the chain breaks, get back within a day
4. If the Jubilant in June habit drops, set the Streak Counter back to Day 1 when you get back.
5. The 3 gold medal winners at the end of the month are the peaceful warriors:
i. who get the maximum number of consecutive days in June 2026 for the Jubilant in June habit;
ii. who get the maximum number of days doing the above habit, irrespective of how many times they fell off;
iii. who get back every time they fall off and play till the last day.

You will self-track, and the winners will be declared based on your self-tracking. Your coaches will support you to track correctly.

The fun is in playing the game; and growth is in getting back every time we fall off, with joy for being on the good to great journey and with love for our own self.

The game begins today, 1-June-26.

Let's keep playing to joyously lead ourselves, our health, our kids, our relationships, our people and our businesses from good to great, realize our dreams and have it all with ease and grace; while having lots of fun and adventure together along the way.

Loving you,

Q1. What outcomes got created as I played the game of Mastery in May?

i. I passed my Karate Belt Test and earned my Brown 3 Belt.

ii. Activated the RYD Publishing House initiative to chart the path for our coachees to progress on their Craft Mastery journey, as the growth habit in Stage 5 of Craft Mastery is writing a book to contribute to expanding the body of human knowledge and wisdom.

iii. Money flowed outwards from me with ease and grace as I paid all my bills and accounts payable on time, often ahead of time.

iv. Partnered with our AI mentor, Lalit Yagnik, to start the work on developing our AI-native RYD Playbook, with the commitment to build it in a way that supports RYD Coachees and RYD Coaches to progress on their good to great journey with greater ease, grace and velocity.

v. My 17-year-old son, Shivenn, finished two classics — The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger and Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse — both personal favourites of mine. It warmed my heart to see him read the books I had recommended. I loved our book discussions even more.

vi. Anya, my 19-year-old daughter, found a golf course near her college in the UK, hired a trolley for her golf kit, and played a 9-hole round all by herself as her nurturing me-time. What gave me immense joy is that she went of her own accord, without my inspiring her to, and that she thoroughly enjoyed herself.

vii. My husband won a golf tournament — he's thrilled.

viii. My husband came to my belt test. He told me to send him the address of the dojo and that he might drop in. I saw myself respond differently than before. Earlier, I would have told him not to come — creating the reality in alignment with my hole in the soul: 'I am all alone. No one loves me.' And even if I had given him the address, had he not shown up, I would have been mighty hurt and upset. This time, I simply gave him the address, at peace with whether he came or not. When he came, I felt grateful.

ix. I started going on evening walks with my mother.

x. My younger sister, Di, a doctor with the Indian Army, came with her daughter to stay with us for a few days. I loved connecting with her at a much deeper level. We were always deeply bonded as kids, but then life took over. I feel grateful that the two of us found our connection again. She said yes to my gift of the Awaken to Your Greatness journey with Anju.

xi. Found a way to implement Scaling-up for our coachees with greater ease, grace and velocity through Shannon's work. I have deep respect for Verne for integrating the work of business thought leaders and masters to create Scaling-up, telling us What to Do to build a great business. Shannon, his best student, learnt from him and built on that to create Metronomics, giving us a step-by-step guide on How to Implement the vast body of knowledge in Scaling-up — elegantly supplemented by her own deep study of the masters of business excellence and her hands-on experience as a business builder and then a business coach. I loved studying her work in depth in May and creating resources for our community, building further on what she has created.

xii. I discovered the joy of Lean, gifted to the world by Japan. Lean is a way to DLCM positive impact — Do Less to Create Massive positive impact -- and there is an ocean of wisdom in it to dip into. This is the next integration piece into RYD. 2026 is the year of integration for our Business Excellence components: taking Verne's Scaling-up deeper into the organization through Shannon's Metronomics, alongside AI and Lean.

xiii. Got the courage to leap across the chasm and start the RYD LT EXPAND Event — though just a day before, I was tempted to cancel it. As an outcome of that first event, I got clarity on the way forward in our journey to contribute to the leaders of the businesses we coach.

xiv. A Year 3 coachee has chosen to step into the RYD 2026 version of the journey, even though the earlier version was available to him under RYD Protection. He is also bringing his #2. The 2026 version significantly strengthens our ability to deliver on our brand promise — lead your business from good to great — and his #2 joining strengthens it further still. This is a breakthrough moment for us.

xv. In a recent Psychodrama, both RYD coaches were at 8 on 10 in their belief in our ability to be a Fortune Global 100 business ourselves. I sense their belief has since climbed far higher.


Q2. What are my learnings and insights from playing the game in May?

i. When we are winning, we are actually losing — because winning a game means we are playing at a level that is comfortable for us. When we are losing and yet still playing every day, we are actually winning, because we are growing.

ii. Stepping outside our comfort zone to do something we don't feel confident about brings our fears to the surface. When we see our fears, we can lovingly embrace them so they dissolve, and we become more Love Consciousness. I saw lack of self-confidence, self-doubt and fear of failure both before the LT EXPAND Event and before my belt test — so much so that I heard my functional fitness coach and my Karate sensei tell me, before the test, the very same things I tell my coachees: Believe that you will win. Focus on the process, not on the outcome.
As I stood up for my test, I suddenly remembered how to embrace my fears, and I lovingly told myself: I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I am whole, complete and perfect as I am right now. I love, accept and revere myself as I am right now.
And as I slept the night before the LT EXPAND Event, I told myself: I am making a difference. I trust the process of life. I trust the Universe. The Universe is gifting me my Highest Good, moment to moment. I am a channel of massive positive impact. I am whole, complete and perfect as I am right now. I believe in myself.

I slept with peace in my heart, and I led the deep-dive with love for each person who showed up, trusting that they would get what would most serve them and that I am merely a channel of massive positive impact.

iii. Implementation of any system in an organisation is possible only if the CEO / business owner has 100% belief in its value and leads its implementation with missionary zeal. My job as their coach is to hold space for that zeal to emerge, rather than to overwhelm my coachees with my own zeal.

I love playing the game so much that I make my coachees' game, and my kids' game, my own — and that sometimes has the opposite effect. My son's expression is something like: I will do it, Mom, but your being excited about it puts pressure on me and builds resistance. So back off.
That is my learning edge — to play the game with a mind without preference. Knowing that doing something will contribute massively to my coachees and my kids, and yet waiting lovingly for them to arrive at that place themselves, in their own time. The urge to protect them from the pain of learning the hard way is very strong, but I recognise it is sourced in Fear Consciousness.

iv. Awareness, at a much deeper level, of how everything emerging in my space is a mirror of what is inside me.

v. The magic of writing Top 5 Priorities — which are nothing but intentions. I wrote my Top 5 quarterly Priorities to be completed in June. Within a day, reality began to emerge to move me forward on 2 of the 5 — doing nothing myself in one case, and hardly anything in the other.


Q3. What action am I committed to take as an outcome of my learnings?

​I will go on my Sacred Pause from Tuesday 9-June-26 to Monday 6-July-26.

I am stepping back from the course to practise on the range to change my swing so I can hit longer with less effort by focussing on my Top 5 Individual Priorities for the Quarter, the ones I don't get time for while playing the game:

i. Top 1 — Deliver the first module of our AI-enabled RYD Playbook: Dreaming to Reality — from 5-Year Dream Lifestyle to Annual Playbook to Quarterly Creation to Monthly Creation to Weekly Creation to Daily Creation. This would support delivery on two of our three brand promises — Have It All and Realize Your Dreams — with greater ease, grace and velocity for both RYD Coachees and RYD Coaches.

ii. Checklists and Process Flows for elevating coaching excellence.

iii. 1st-level conversations with Seekers for expanding RYD Soul (the community of RYD Coaches), with the intention to onboard and nurture 8 new RYD Coaches this year.

iv. Complete this year's planned upgradation of the RYD curriculum on Business Excellence to strengthen delivery on one of our brand promises — lead your business from good to great.

v. Birth RYD Publishing House to serve our coachees on their Craft Mastery journey and publish our first book to make a bigger difference with greater velocity within the businesses we coach.

All the above while elevating my growth habits, and being fully present and available to my family.

​
Let's keep being Love moment to moment (LD), keep being a Student moment to moment (CM), keep being of Service moment to moment (BE), to joyously lead ourselves, our health, our kids, our relationships, our people and our businesses from good to great, realize our dreams and have it all with ease and grace; while having lots of fun and adventure together along the way.

​Reflection to complete Magnificent March and step into Abundance in April

Q1. What outcome did I create as an outcome of playing or not playing the game?
I had very significant insights through playing the March game - both for business and personally. Personally, I got an access to elevate my relationship with my husband. 

On the business front, found 3 gaps in our coaching excellence process to address - enrolling RYD Coachees to adopt growth habits for great outcomes, starting review of CEE-CPE coachee progress by j on a regular basis instead of on need-basis, re-starting the post deep-dive reflection by coaches of the immersions led by them.

Q2. What are my learnings and insights from playing or not playing the game in March?
i. I experientially understood the power and the simplicity of the Continue-Stop-Start conversation both at work and at home.

ii. I got present to why it is difficult to do this habit and how easy it is to miss doing it. Therefore, got an access to enable our peaceful warriors to make this their winning habit.

iii. I learnt that I have missed to hold space for our peaceful warriors to understand that Growth Habits support us to DLCM (Do Less to Create More positive impact, great outcomes and joyously fulfilling value) - 80% of our time spent on Growth Habits ensures 20% of our time is spent on Powerful Effective Precise Actions which create Great Outcomes. 

Today, we spend less than 20% of our time on Growth Habits and spend 80% of our time taking Actions that give us Good Outcomes. 

iv. My choosing to do work at the cost of growth habits is sourced in Fear Consciousness. Every time, I choose work over growth habits, I am strengthening my Fear Consciousness.

Q3. What action am I committed to take as an outcome of my learnings?
i. Allocate time for yoga, Vipassana twice a day, morning pages, Daily Creation, Reading and Writing daily in my Daily Rhythm, Daily Walk with my husband. Use the remaining work day for doing the work (taking actions). 

ii. Enrol each one in our community to choose being consistent with their Growth Habits and play the monthly Growth Habits game for each one to progress on their good to great journey with greater ease, grace and velocity.

Let's keep playing to joyously lead ourselves, our kids, our relationships, our people and our businesses from good to great, realize our dreams and have it all with ease and grace; while having lots of fun and adventure together along the way.

Loving you,
j.

​Completion of Abundance in April Game of the Month to strengthen RYD Growth Habits
Theme: Strengthening Gear 4 Consciousness for Leadership Mastery

My Reflection to complete Abundance in April game to step into Mastery in May:

Q1. What outcome did I create as an outcome of playing or not playing the game?
I did not need the pressure of discipline or the force of will power to do my growth habits in April because of my insight from playing the March game — My choosing to do work at the cost of growth habits is sourced in Fear Consciousness. Every time I choose work over growth habits, I am strengthening my Fear Consciousness.

I have had 30 days of Growth Habits, my longest streak in a long time. I got back to daily Yoga and 2 hours of daily Vipassana.

I am experiencing a shift in Being and a shift in my relationship with my kids, my husband, my coachees, with myself and with my work.

Q2. What are my learnings and insights from playing or not playing the game in April?
i. I uncovered a way to make Growth Habits easier to adopt through Nano, Micro, Mini, Midi and Big Habits.

ii. I sat with — Where there is resistance, let me be graceful acceptance and childlike trust and faith to gently flow with the river of life — through the month.

Whenever I experienced resistance around me, I found the resistance outside mirroring the resistance within which was not visible to me.

Graceful acceptance and childlike trust and faith to gently flow with the river of life, while playing full out in alignment with my reality-defying intentions and impossible, unimaginable, crazy-big dreams, centred and grounded me.

iii. Doing the growth habits not for myself but for my kids, coachees and mentees created space and energy for doing my daily growth habits with ease and grace, bringing me home to — It's in giving that we receive.

iv. Learning to slow down, especially in the implementation of 3HAG / Scaling Up. Accepting that it is not a one-quarter journey. It is a 3-year implementation journey for one full cycle and endless repetition from there on. Changing tyres while the car is moving requires changing one bit at a time.

Q3. What action am I committed to take as an outcome of my learnings?
i. I had a few days of Nano Habits in April. Committed to 100% Big Habits every day in May.

ii. Playing to do Yoga, Vipassana, Morning Pages, Prayer of Gratitude, Personal Manifesto, Raising my Consciousness, Leadership Oath, stepping into my Whole Soul and Big Mind before my first deep-dive of the day.

Let's keep playing to joyously lead ourselves, our health, our kids, our relationships, our people and our businesses from good to great, realize our dreams and have it all with ease and grace; while having lots of fun and adventure together along the way.

Loving you,
j.
