Ep 18 - How to be Mentally Tough and Why it Matters - Gaj Ravichandra

Gaj Ravichandra is an International Career Path Strategist and Executive Coach, Organizational Psychologist, and the Co-founder of Kompass Consultancy here in Dubai.Humans hate uncertainty and Gaj’s insights on how to navigate what are most definitely very uncertain times right now were just brilliant. We talked about neuroscience and upgrading our operating software - which was fascinating, we also talked about spotting patterns in our behaviour, building resilience and how to turn off that negative voice inside our head.I loved what Gaj had to say about his family leaving Sri Lanka to start a new life in Australia  and how that shaped him. Ex-pats in Dubai will be able to identify strongly with this, I’m sure.Our conversation is full of insights and practical tips on how to improve your mindset and develop mental toughness. I loved it, and I’m sure you will too. Follow me, and the Good Intentions podcast:https://www.instagram.com/kellyharvarde/Find Gaj Ravichandra here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/gaj-ravichandra/https://www.instagram.com/gajravichandra/Immerse yourself in some of the books we discussed: Grit - Angela Duckworthhttps://magrudy.com/book/grit-the-power-of-passion-and-perseverance-9781501111105/The Power of One - Bryce Courtenayhttps://magrudy.com/book/the-power-of-one-9780833554253/

Om Podcasten

Good Intentions connects with experts and storytellers around social impact, psychology, mindfulness, personal growth, and health. Each conversation unpacks the beliefs and rituals that drive and ground each guest. You will hear about achievements that go beyond the conventional and tangible to a deeper level, finding the meaning and intention behind what we do.I believe that there is a deep longing in our culture and society for something more: something higher, something deeper. Material possessions and technology do not satisfy our souls. As human beings we long for connection. I'm on a mission to spread positivity, drive connectivity and to inspire others to live a more meaningful life.
