It helped me in rebuilding a dormant confidence that my thought process goes the right way. I mean the way paved by honest, helpful and harmless intentions. Once the path is defined, the building materials i.e. posts and engagements will fall in place. For all the above shift, the mentor, the guide is none other than Neeraja Ganesh, whose relentless support /guidance fuelled a reconstruction in not only my thinking abilities but also the courage to act upon them steadily.

The LWMC alumni challenge organised by Neeraja has taken our writing to next level. More than writing a post, what stood out was the prompts to make us think and experiment with writing aligning to our brand statement. The forming of subgroups helped us further to nudge and brain storm ideas with peers. What always amazes me is the personal care Neeraja takes to address each and everyone’s challenges and issues. Definitely a standout from regular sessions that one finds else where. Here the priority is for the mindset shift than the writing itself.
