The Story

Managers or leaders always insist on improving. In fact, one of the most generic feedback they share is: Everything was good, your performance was great, but you need to improve on a few things. And then goes the list 1,2,3…10. Decision making, time availability, teamwork, leadership, communication, etc. are all such words that you’ll have heard from your boss in your feedback some or the other time

Based on my own experience & what other people say, it is difficult to guess precisely what needs to be improved. No matter how commonly they are used, these terms, unless you have some context, are hard to follow

This pushed me to start this blog to relay my learning about work-life, beyond your actual roles & responsibilities. To help you understand with the best of my knowledge how to shine & thrive at the workplace

Hello, my name is Surbhi Mahnot & this is my blog. My treasure!

I am the problem-solver. That’s what my close ones call me. No, I don’t have a magic wand!

I am a person who is always high on emotions (I don’t keep crying). Inspired by Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence, I started practicing how to use my emotional understanding to sort things at work. I realized how empathy, gratitude & self-awareness could make a big difference! My passion for growth and learning lights a fire beneath everything I do. The Blog Relay is my first venture to share all these amazing learning & experiences with you all to help you grow both as an individual & professional

I live in India. Traveling, reading & shopping are my favorites when not working. And I am a Ludo champion – always beat my husband

I hope you enjoy reading the content as much as I enjoy creating it
