In my role as an Admin Assistant, I served as a crucial liaison between Aegis and our esteemed US client, Green Street Power Partners. My responsibilities extended beyond the diligent handling of all non-technical asset management tasks, where I often jested about my aspiration to one day find God using the intricate formulas of MS Excel.

Moreover, I took on the voluntary role of Chief Comic Relief Officer, or perhaps more fittingly, the company’s very own SpongeBob SquarePants. During and after every Teams meeting, I made it my mission to infuse a sense of fun and humor into the workday. My efforts aimed to turn routine tasks and meetings into enjoyable and engaging experiences, fostering a positive and lively atmosphere for everyone involved.

In my role as the HR and Admin Executive, I went beyond the traditional responsibilities of onboarding, complaint redressal, and conflict resolution. I embraced the role of a 'corporate grandma,' taking care of the emotional and supportive needs of both employees and employers. I treated each individual and their family as my own, ensuring that everyone felt motivated, well-fed, and happy.

To foster a positive and inclusive work environment, I introduced several innovative and engaging initiatives. One such initiative was the 'goof up board,' where employees and employers could humorously acknowledge their minor mistakes. This not only prevented embarrassment but also encouraged a culture of learning from errors.

Additionally, I implemented a tradition of playing rubber chicken flingers, a fun game designed to de-stress and bring laughter to new joiners. For anger management, I introduced a funny punching doll, providing a lighthearted way for employees to release their frustrations.

My efforts were always aimed at making the workstation a happy and welcoming place for everyone. By focusing on the well-being and morale of the team, I created an atmosphere where employees felt valued, supported, and eager to contribute their best.

During the challenging times of the pandemic, following the untimely retirement of my mentor and former employer, I embarked on a self-employment journey with her blessings, stepping into the role of a Mental Health Coach.

In this capacity, I dedicated myself to coaching individuals, particularly students and their families, in holistic health practices.

My focus was on inner-child healing and self-harm prevention, guiding clients through a journey of self-discovery and emotional well-being.

By fostering a supportive and empathetic environment, I helped them navigate their inner struggles and cultivate resilience. My approach emphasized the importance of addressing deep-seated emotional wounds and nurturing one's inner child to achieve lasting mental health and personal growth.

Upon my return to India, having dropped out of college in the United States, I embarked on my first formal job as the EA to the Director and Company Secretary/Head of Company Law. In this pivotal role, I was fortunate to have an exceptional mentor who instilled in me the belief that authenticity and trainability are the most crucial attributes for any employee.

I adeptly managed her day-to-day agendas, ensuring seamless coordination and productivity. Additionally, I took on the responsibility of training junior staff, imparting the knowledge and skills necessary for their growth. Acting as a bridge between departments, I facilitated effective communication and collaboration within the organization.

This role also provided me with the invaluable opportunity to learn the fundamentals of corporate law, laying a solid foundation for my professional development. My experiences in this position have been instrumental in shaping my career, providing me with the insights and skills needed to excel in the corporate world.
