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.

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.

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 July game is to do the Joyful July habit of Daily and Weekly Creation — 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 Joyful July 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 July 2026 for the Joyful July 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 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.

Loving you,

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,
