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.
