Vrinda Gupta

Last month, I caught myself doing something I coach other leaders not to do:

I avoided a tough conversation; smiled through discomfort.

Told myself, 'it’ll sort itself out'

Classic Green leadership:
Empathetic, supportive, and afraid to shake harmony.

And that’s when it hit me:
I wasn’t protecting my team’s peace.
I was protecting my own comfort.

Because that’s the thing about leadership 
Your strength, when overused, quietly becomes your blind spot.

I’ve always led from Green: calm, approachable, emotionally available.
It’s what makes people feel safe with me.

But the flip side?
I delay hard conversations in the name of empathy.
I hold space when I should hold accountability.

So, I borrowed a little Red: the courage to be direct, even when it’s uncomfortable, and the clarity to call out what needed to change.

And it worked.

Because I finally gave my team what they needed, not what I was comfortable giving.

Since then, I’ve started noticing other colors in the leaders I coach.

🔴 The Reds: bold, decisive, driven
Who lead with fire, until that fire burns everyone out.

🔵 The Blues: steady and rational 
Who overanalyze every move until progress freezes.

🟡 The Yellows: energetic and optimistic 
Who lift the room but ignore the warning signs.

🟣 The Purples: visionary and purpose-led 
Who dream about the future but forget today’s realities.

🟠 The Oranges: fast, fearless, action-first 
Who move quickly but leave clarity behind.

🟢 And the Greens, like me 
Who keep everyone comfortable while avoiding what’s necessary.

This week, I’m still Green - just a little more Red.
Next week? Who knows. Maybe I’ll need a touch of Blue.

So, what color are you leading with right now,
and what shade does your team actually need?

2023: I failed in front of 30 senior trainers
2025: I've trained 4000+ professionals

Let me take you back.

📍2023, Train the Trainer program
I was supposed to present a module
Sounds simple, right? 
But not for me

It was my first time presenting. My confidence was already broken from personal struggles. And the minute I stood up, I froze.

→ Went blank when questioned
→ I couldn't explain the concept
→ Gave wrong answers out of pure panic

I failed the test.

Sach main, that room felt like a courtroom. 
And I was guilty of not being good enough.

I walked out thinking, ‘Maybe training is not for me’

But then I remembered something.

This wasn't my first failure.

Engineering? 

Failed 4 subjects in the first two years. 

Cleared them all eventually.

✅So I did what I knew how to do: 
 
I prepared like my career depended on it.

And a couple of months later, I passed.

That failure taught me more than the certification ever could:

→ Confidence comes from preparation, not pretending
→ Clients will hijack your session with tough questions 
→ If you nail the concept clarity, you’ll survive 
→ Failure isn't the end, giving up is

That day, I learned something trainers don't talk about enough:

You'll bomb, blank out, and even feel like a fraud

But if you prepare, persist, and stay humble,

You'll come back stronger.

P.S. Ever failed publicly and bounced back?

#PublicFailureToGrowth #BounceBackStory #TrainerLife #PresentationSkills #PublicSpeaking #FailureIsFeedback #PersistencePays #PreparationMatters

I recorded my first training video 17 times before posting it. 


Not because of tech issues.

Because every time I watched myself, I thought: "Nobody's going to listen to YOU."

Fast forward to today: 

130,000 people chose to listen anyway.

And honestly? 

I'm terrified.

Not grateful-blessed-humbled terrified. 

The real kind.

The kind where you sit and think, “How did this even happen?”

Then I remember.

The 2 AM message: "Your post saved my career." 

The student: "I didn't stutter in my interview because of you." 

The manager: "I finally know how to give feedback without breaking 
someone's confidence."

That's how.

Not for followers. 

For the ripple effect of one person finding their voice.

130,000 of you chose to be part of this.

You didn't follow a perfect expert. 

You followed a messy human trying to make communication matter.

Thank you for letting me be real. 

For showing up even when my posts fall flat.
 
For proving that vulnerability connects more than perfection.

When did you realize YOUR voice has power?

Tell me below. 

I'm reading every single one.

68% of job seekers walk into interviews completely unprepared.

New data from Apna.co surveyed 10,000+ job seekers.

Here’s the breakdown:

Freshers: 21% prepared
Early career: 29% prepared
Experienced: 49% prepared

Now, let’s talk about where does the problem lies:

We’ve normalized learning interview skills through failure.

Freshers burn opportunities figuring out what experienced professionals already know.

We call it ‘gaining experience’
I call it a ‘broken system’

Because we treat interview skills like something you absorb through rejection,

As if you’ll magically get better at articulating your value after enough failed attempts.

To be clear:
That’s not skill development but survival of those who can afford to fail.

The professionals who succeed aren’t always the most talented.

They’re the ones with:

→ Enough interviews to practice on
→ Enough financial cushion to keep applying
→ Enough failed attempts before one finally worked

Meanwhile, freshers who need jobs immediately can’t afford to ‘learn through failure’

We’ve created a preparation gap that looks like a talent gap.

So, here’s my challenge to every professional, 

Stop treating your career like a trial-and-error experiment.

Practice before the stakes are real.

Record yourself answering ‘Why should we hire you?’

-Watch it back later 
-Notice where you ramble
-Where you undersell yourself
-Where you lose clarity

Because the gap between prepared and unprepared is preparation📍

“I still prefer in-person training.” 

Cool, but can your model scale without burning cash or carbon?

The best training I ever delivered?

Nobody traveled for it. Zero flights, zero hotels, zero carbon guilt. 

And the engagement was higher than most in-person workshops I've done.

Yet, we still treat in-person training like it's the gold standard. 

If people are not in a room together, learning doesn't count.

Meanwhile:

🔻One training flight = 0.2 tons CO2 
🔻Multiply by 50 people = climate damage for ONE workshop 
🔻Add venue energy, printed handouts, and daily commutes

For content that could've been delivered better online.

What online-first training actually looks like: 

🔰Zero travel = zero emissions 
🔰E-modules = accessible anywhere, anytime 
🔰Blended options = connection when needed, digital when smarter 
🔰Scalable = train hundreds without multiplying carbon cost

✅People learn better when they're not exhausted from travel.
✅Teams engage more when accessibility isn't a barrier. 
✅Companies save costs and the planet.

We need to stop pretending that in-person is always better.

Sometimes digital is the smarter, greener, more effective choice.

P.S. What's one training your company could shift online tomorrow?

If your LinkedIn says ‘Open to work,’ but your mindset still says ‘stuck,’ you are NOT yet ready for the real transition 

Because a career change begins from ‘YOU’, it’s psychological.

The thing is,
You can update your title overnight.
But reprogramming your identity takes work.

And that’s where most people struggle.

I’ve helped professionals across industries navigate this and every successful shift came down to 10 non-negotiables:

1. Get clear on your ‘why’
If you don’t know why you’re leaving, you’ll repeat the same mistake again.

2. Audit your strengths
Not the ones on your resume, the ones that energize you. 

3. Redefine success
The next role might not come with the same title or paycheck, and that’s okay if it aligns with growth.

4. Craft your new narrative
Tell your story like someone connecting dots, not changing directions.

5. Rebuild your network before you need it
The best opportunities come from conversations.

6. Refresh your digital presence
Your LinkedIn should reflect where you’re heading, not where you were.

7. Prepare emotionally for uncertainty.
Transitions test patience, so ground yourself before you take the leap.

8. Permit yourself to pause
Big shifts drain energy. Step back to process the change so you can step forward with intention.

9. Seek feedback, not validation.
Ask, “What can I improve?”, not “What do you think of me?”

10. Prioritize your mental stamina
You can’t create clarity from burnout. 

P.S. Which of these 10 do you think most professionals forget?

#LinkedIn #Work #Lifestyle #Careergrowth #ProfessionalGrowth

In a world racing for tech, automation, and AI, we often assume one thing, 

"If I learn the tool, I’ll win."

But here's a truth I’ve seen across 4,000+ professionals I’ve coached:

Yes, technical skills open doors

Soft skills keep them open and widen them

An article from PeopleMatters reveals some telling figures:

1. 92% of executives say human capabilities are as important as, or more important than, technical expertise.
2. Organisations are calling for stronger communication, emotional intelligence, and adaptability: the skills AI can’t easily replicate. 

Let me translate this in real-world terms:

You might learn every new tool, every new language, every new platform. 

But when change hits fast, what will set you apart is how you connect, how you understand, how you lead when the map is blank.

Here’s what I’ve seen as a professional working in this space:

1. Technical knowledge can get you into the room. But relationships keep you in the conversation.
2. Clarity of thought beats volume of slides. Listening deeply beats talking loudly.
3. Adaptability, empathy, and communication aren’t soft, they’re strategic.

If you’re thinking, “I'll upgrade my tech stack first, and worry about soft skills later”,

Here’s your wake-up call: 
This “later” might already be too late.

🔻Action for you today:

🔰Maybe it’s saying less and listening more
🔰Pick one human skill you’ll actively build this week
🔰Maybe it’s asking one better question in a meeting
🔰Maybe it’s giving feedback that doesn’t feel like critique

Because when tools evolve, business models shift, and technology accelerates, 

One thing remains constant: 

People Still Lead People

P.S. Which human skill do you believe will give you the strongest edge right now? 

Let’s discuss.

#SoftSkillsMatter #PowerSkills #FutureOfWork #CommunicationSkills #VrindaSpeaks

My friend experienced her colleague taking credit for her work in a meeting in front of 15 people (including their CEO)

Her mind screamed, 

‘Say something,’ 

but she didn’t.

(or rather I’d say, ‘she couldn’t)

She told herself that she was ‘being professional’

But she wasn’t being professional.

Rather, she was scared.

That silence cost her a promotion she had worked toward for 8 months.

Remembering this incident last night, I want to say that:

The situations that feel most uncomfortable to face are usually the exact ones blocking your growth.

After years of avoiding every difficult moment possible, here are 10 situations you can’t run from:

1. Owning your mistake publicly
2. The conversation you’ve been avoiding
3. The promotion interview you don’t feel ready for
4. The opportunity that feels too big for you right now
5. The day you want to quit after everything goes wrong
6. Speaking up when someone takes credit for your work 
7. The conflict you keep hoping will somehow resolve itself
8. Learning from someone who is better than you at what you do
9. The feedback that makes you want to defend yourself immediately
10. Admitting “I don’t know” when everyone expects you to have answers

And talking for myself,

Every time I’ve run from discomfort, I’ve delayed my own growth.

Every time I’ve stayed, even when every instinct screamed to leave, 

I’ve built something real.

So, stop asking yourself, 
“How do I avoid uncomfortable situations?”

Start answering, 
“What am I avoiding right now that my career actually needs?”

P.S. What’s one situation you’ve been running from?

I don’t usually talk about this. 

But behind every session I lead is a version of me that almost didn’t survive.

At 25, I got married.
Everyone said I was “settled.”
But inside that home, I was falling apart.

Because abuse doesn’t always scream. 

Kabhi kabhi woh itna silent hota hai that you start to believe maybe I deserve this.

So, I stayed.

Because I thought leaving meant I failed.

Because I was scared.

Because I kept thinking, “Shaayad kal better ho jaaye.”

By 26, I was numb.

Some days I couldn’t get out of bed.
Some days, I didn’t want to exist at all.

When I finally left, I wasn’t proud. I was grieving.

Not just the marriage, but the version of me I lost inside it.

And still I started again, slowly, quietly.

→ Trained a few students
→ Faked confidence until it felt real
→ Helped others speak, while I found my own voice again

That’s how I rebuilt:

Not all at once, har din thoda thoda karke.

Today, I’ve spoken on TEDx stages.

Trained thousands.

And most importantly, made peace with my story.

📌If you’ve ever rebuilt from rock bottom, tell me one word that describes "who you are now."

Mine is ALIVE

I watched someone type a 22-line Slack message yesterday about something that needed a 3-minute call.

And honestly, I felt that.

Because nobody is teaching us the one soft skill that's now make-or-break in hybrid work:

Knowing which medium matches your message.

We have 7 different ways to say the same thing, and we're picking the wrong one every single time.

I see it everywhere:

↳⁠The manager who schedules a Zoom for what could've been a voice note.
↳⁠The teammate who emails a "quick question" that turns into a 12-reply thread.
↳The office colleague who walks over repeatedly for things that could've been a Slack.

Then everyone's frustrated, asking:

"Why is communication so hard now?"

Here’s how to upgrade your soft skills:

🔰ASYNC (Type it)
Use when you need receipts, not responses.

1.⁠ ⁠Status updates
2.⁠ ⁠Documentation
3.⁠ ⁠FYI info
4.⁠ ⁠Non-urgent requests

🔰SYNC (Call it)
Use when you need clarity, not confusion.

1. Nuanced discussions
2. Conflict resolution
3. Complex explanations
4. ⁠Anything that's ping-ponged 3+ times in text


🔰IN-PERSON (Walk it)
Use when you need a connection, not just content.

1. Sensitive conversations
2. Brainstorming sessions
3. Relationship building
4. Quick desk-side clarifications (if they're actually quick)

📍Bonus tip: 

If you're in the office and it's under 2 mins + they're available, sure, walk over. Otherwise, respect their flow and ping first.

This isn't rocket science. 

But it is a skill most teams are missing.

P.S. What's your rule of thumb for picking the right communication channel?

#hybrid #communication #async #sync #inperson #softskills #workculture #signalvnoise

We light lamps during Diwali, but some people are that light all year round - steady, warm, asking for nothing in return.

If you’ve been that person for someone, thank you. It matters more than you know.

And if someone’s been that for you - maybe today’s a good day to tell them.

Wishing everyone celebrating a bright and joyful Diwali! May the festival bring you closer to the people who matter most. 🪔✨

I’ve trained in rooms where people speak English, but think in Marathi, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil

Same company, same goals, but completely different communication styles.

We love patting ourselves on the back for being diverse. 

But when a South Indian team feels a North Indian manager is "too aggressive," or a Gen Z employee thinks their Gen X boss is "dismissive", we call it a "communication gap."

When really it's India's invisible boardroom barrier.

Because while communicating, you’re navigating:

🔹 Cultural nuances
🔹 Generational gaps
🔹 Language preferences
🔹 Urban vs regional perspectives

And if you're not adapting, you’re alienating.

Here's my 3A’s of Cross-cultural communication framework:

1. Awareness:
Recognize that your communication style is shaped by region, generation, and upbringing. It's not universal.

2. Adaptation:
Match your message to your audience. One style doesn't fit all rooms.

3. Ask:
When in doubt, clarify:
What does yes mean here?
How do you prefer feedback?
What's the protocol for disagreement?

India's diversity is incredible. 

But if we are not actively learning to communicate across cultures, not just languages, we're wasting it.

P.S. What's your biggest cross-cultural communication struggle?

#CrossCulturalCommunication #AwarenessAdaptationAsk #3AsFramework #Awareness #Adaptation #Ask #CommunicationGaps

Jab tak aap ‘no’ kehna nahi seekhenge, log aapko ‘yes’ bolne pe majboor karte rahenge

This is what I experienced initially 

I didn’t set boundaries and just kept giving my time, energy, support, listening ear, coaching, presence.

In short, sab de diya!

Not because I wanted anything back.

But thoda respect? 
Thoda sa consistency?

That’s not too much to expect from your inner circle, right?

Turns out, it is.

And here’s what I learned the hard way:

People will treat you exactly how you allow them to.

I used to blame others. But one day I sat with it, and realized: I let them.

→ I stayed available for one-sided friendships
→ I showed up 100% for people who gave me 10%
→ I overextended for people who barely showed up

That’s not kindness.
That’s self-abandonment dressed as empathy.

So I stopped.

No fights, no drama
Just silence, boundaries, and a fair distance

I stopped replying
I stopped over-explaining
I stopped caring the way I used to

Because if you can’t stand beside me at my lowest,
You don’t get a front row seat at my best.

P.S. Ever let go of people you once poured into? What finally made you stop?

“Don’t print the deck, we’re being eco-friendly.” 

Meanwhile, 10 trainers flown across 5 cities in one week.

Let's be real.

Going digital doesn’t mean sustainability.
Let’s call it what it is, Greenwashing in training.

Flying 50 people to Goa for a 2-day workshop? 

That's 25 tons of CO2.

Running the same program as a blended model:

1 day virtual, 1 day local hubs
(You just cut emissions by 60%)

Green training is not about saving paper. 

It's about rethinking how we learn.

Now let’s understand why digital+blending is better than traditional:

🔰CARBON IMPACT
→ No printed materials = less waste 
→ No flights = massive emissions cut 
→ No venue energy consumption = smaller footprint

🔰ACCESSIBILITY
→ Working parents don't miss sessions 
→ Tier-2/3 city teams get SAME quality training 
→ People with mobility challenges participate easily

🔰EFFECTIVENESS
→ Async reinforcement = better retention
→ Pre-recorded modules = learn at your pace 
→ Virtual live sessions = real-time interaction, no travel fatigue 

🔰COST EFFICIENCY
→ One digital module = infinite reuse
→ No travel/accommodation/venue costs 
→ Trainers reach MORE people with LESS logistics 

P.S. Is your company still doing carbon-heavy training?

#GreenTraining #SustainableLearning #EcoFriendlyTraining #DigitalTraining #BlendedLearning #CarbonFootprint

Your organization is losing $55,000 per employee every year.
Not from bad strategy or wrong hires.

But from people who can’t communicate clearly.

#BizTalks

New research this week confirms what I see in every training session:

Ineffective communication costs companies between $10,000–$55,000 per employee annually.

Not just “lost productivity.” Actual cost from:

→ Hundreds of hours responding to unclear messages
→ 63% citing wasted time as the biggest consequence
→ 54% of professionals struggling to manage daily communications
→ 68% of customers leaving because company reps can’t communicate

Meanwhile, 57% of employers say communication is the #1 skill they need.

So companies are losing millions from the very skill they need most but rarely train people on.

Here’s what’s changed:

•⁠ ⁠Email is dying; only 18% still prefer it
•⁠ ⁠Teams use 7+ collaboration tools
•⁠ ⁠Video calls and instant messaging dominate

More tools don’t mean better communication.
Just more places to miscommunicate, faster.

What I’m watching happen:

•⁠ ⁠Leaders sending 50 Slack messages when one clear call would solve it
•⁠ ⁠Professionals drowning in notifications but starving for connection
•⁠ ⁠Teams with every tool possible, still missing critical information

The communication skills that actually matter now:

→ Communicating clearly with AI integrated into workflows
→ Reading tone in text when 55% fear misinterpreting messages
→ Saying complex things simply when everyone else overcomplicates
→ Knowing which channel to use when (email vs. Slack vs. meeting vs. nothing)

India’s corporate training market is growing 16.3% annually.

Leadership and soft skills training now have renewed importance across every major report.

Because organizations are finally realizing:

You can have the best AI tools in the world.

But if your people can’t communicate, you’re just automating confusion.

So ask yourself:

How much is poor communication costing YOU?

1. Lost opportunities because your pitch wasn’t clear?
2. ⁠Wasted hours in meetings that could’ve been one message?
3. Missed promotions because you couldn’t articulate your impact?

Calculate it and then decide if communication training is a “nice to have” or survival.

Welcome to #BizTalks, where I break down what’s shaping business in 2025, and why it matters to your career.

Here’s what I’m seeing across workplaces in India:

1. The job market is projected to grow only 4.4% in H2 of 2025-26, up from 2.8% earlier. Growth is cautious, not carefree. 

2. Over 90% of Gen Z professionals in India say visual communication skills matter more than ever. They want design-led workflows, not just text-heavy reports. 

3. Employers list communication skills as India’s #1 hiring priority (37% of employers say so). In a world of hybrid teams and cross-border meetings, clarity is now non-negotiable. 

A new Harvard-backed list shows the most future-proof skills: communication, persuasion, emotional intelligence and adaptability. 

Meanwhile, automation and AI aren’t distant threats; they’re already reshaping roles across sectors. 

If you’re leaning only on your degree, you’re running behind. 

After training thousands of professionals and speaking on many stages, here’s what I know for sure:

🔰 Technical skills might get you the interview
🔰 Human skills get you the room

Because when everything else changes, one thing remains constant:
Those who speak with clarity, listen with intent, and lead with empathy will always stand out.

The question you must ask today isn’t Do soft skills matter?

It’s How fast are you building yours?

So I’ll ask you:

If you could fix one communication gap in your workplace right now, what would you pick?

AI writes better content than my team now. 

What's my value?

This is what a product manager asked me this yesterday. 

She looked like her career just became obsolete.

I asked her: "Can AI feel the frustration your customer felt at 2 AM when they abandoned their cart?"

And she paused before answering:

"No, 
But does that matter if the AI copy converts better?"

Wrong question!

Right question: 

"What can I do that a machine never will?"

Here's Bernard Marr's answer:

9 skills AI can't touch:

1. Creativity
2. Leadership
3. Critical thinking
4. ⁠Communication
5. ⁠Growth mindset
6. Decision-making
7. Cultural intelligence
8. Embracing change
9. Emotional intelligence

But we've called these "soft" for so long, we forgot they're actually the hardest to develop.

AI now handles the "hard" stuff like data, analysis, pattern recognition, content.

What it can't do is pattern breaking.

AI optimizes existing solutions. 

Humans imagine solutions that don't exist yet.

But we're terrible at this.

We've been trained to analyze, not invent. 

Perfect processes, not question them. 

Sound smart using existing frameworks, not create new ones.

Meanwhile, AI is getting really good at sounding smart with existing frameworks.

So what's actually left for us?

The messy human work:

→ Asking questions that feel stupid but unlock new thinking
→ Leading through uncertainty without fake certainty
→ Connecting ideas from wildly different places
→ Feeling problems customers can't articulate
→ Reading tension in a room that data misses

Your technical skills have an expiration date.

Your ability to think creatively, communicate clearly, read emotions, and adapt? 

That's permanent value📍

P.S. What "soft skill" have you been dismissing that's blocking your impact?

Welcome to #BizTalks, my Wednesday series where I break down what’s shaping business in 2025 and why it matters to your career.

Here’s what’s unfolding across workplaces in India:

1. ₹35,000 Cr is being spent on corporate training, yet 68% of managers still struggle to give feedback that builds trust.

2. India has 100M+ professionals on LinkedIn, but most can’t describe their value in one clear line.

3. 75% of organizations have made hybrid work permanent, yet presence through a screen is still a skill very few master.

4. Gen Z doesn’t want control. They want coaching, honesty, and real conversations.

5. The demand for communication and leadership training has risen 85% year on year as businesses realize that connection drives performance.

After two TEDx talks and training more than 5,000 professionals, here’s my biggest takeaway:-

🔰Technology gives you tools, but
🔰Communication gives you influence.

When everything else changes, one thing remains constant:

The professionals who speak with clarity, listen with intent, and lead with empathy always stand out📍

The question isn’t whether soft skills matter. 

It’s how quickly you’re building yours.

So let me ask you this,

If you could fix one communication gap in your workplace today, what would it be?

#BizTalks #WednesdaySeries #IndiaWorkplaceTrends #CorporateTraining #FeedbackThatBuildsTrust #LinkedInValue #ClearValueProposition #HybridWork

Why is your 1:1 a waste of time?

Because you use them to get updates, not build trust

And trust is the only thing that moves performance

A client told me last week, “My team never comes to me with problems until it’s too late.”

I asked, “When they do, what happens?”

He said, “I tell them how to fix it.”

There’s the answer.

You think you’re being efficient.

They think you don’t care.

Leaders keep asking why engagement is down. 

Meanwhile:

→ They cancel 1-on-1s for urgent meetings
→ Ask “How are you?” but can't wait for an answer
→ Say “My door’s open” but close it on honesty

→ Preach “psychological safety” but reward silence

The gap between what you say and what you do is the real trust deficit.

1. Inclusive leaders boost results by 17%
2. High-trust teams outperform others by 286%
3. Employees who feel heard are 4.6x more likely to do their best work

So stop treating empathy like a soft skill; it’s your ROI multiplier.

Your team isn’t underperforming because they don’t care.

They’re underperforming because they don’t feel safe telling you the truth.

So here’s your next 1:1 question:

What’s one thing I could do differently to make your job easier?

HISTORY MADE 🇮🇳🏆

India’s women have done it!

World Champions, 2025

From close calls to complete domination, what a journey.

It’s a win for every girl who’s ever picked up a bat,

Every woman who’s ever been told ‘not your game’

Take a bow, Team India!
