QAspire Blog: Looking Back at 2013
Tanmay Vora
Looking back at 2013 fills me with gratitude. It was a remarkable year – both personally and for this blog.
I did a lot of writing here and elsewhere, participated in some enlightening conversations with folks in-person and virtually, signed a new book deal (details soon), contributed photograph clicked by me on a book cover and did speaking at various respected forums. Here are some (but not all) highlights:
-
I did an insightful (and very useful) online course titled “The Art of Leverage” with my friend and mentor Rajesh Setty. This experience changed the way I looked at so many things.
-
I participated in two #IndiaHRChat sessions (summary here and here) hosted by Dr. Tanvi Gautam and contributed my views on the topics. Learned a great deal in return!
-
Contributed my writing to Pearson TalentLens’ brand new blog on Critical Thinking, Talent and HR.
-
This year again, I was featured as amongst Top 3 Indian HR Influencers active on Social Media by SHRM India.
-
One of my photos was selected for the cover of a book. (Gallery of my photos here)
-
Delivered talks and shared my insights at various organizations and forums. (Details here)
This are just a few glimpses from a lot that happened on personal and professional fronts.
This blog has grown beyond what I had imagined and this was not possible without YOU – the readers of this blog. Every feedback I get about my writing here is so gratifying. Thank you for your continued support.
