About Ankur Shrestha

For, in the end, it is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work.” — I truly believe in this statement and have been using it as a guiding principle circa 2014 to experience holistic growth and get to where I am today. Doing meaningful work is what helps me wake up every day feeling inspired and show up with passion and enthusiasm. are the top 5 lessons I’ve learned from leading a principles-centered life: You don’t make mistakes. Mistakes make you. Things don’t happen to you, they happen for you. Being on top of your physical health puts you in the driver seat of life. It’s up to you which path you steer on from there. 🤗 Vulnerability and rigorous honesty unlock a whole new level of inner strength and personal power that helps to connect with people at a deeper and authentic level. Questions have the answer. Asking the right questions is how you get to the solutions you seek. And questions that make you uncomfortable bring with it self-awareness and opportunities for growth. 🤔 You don’t have to know everything. But you need the humility to say — \"I don\'t know\",\"I don\'t get it\",\"I need help\", and Always Be Curious. I feel grateful for my IRL & virtual mentors and trusted advisors — who generously share their time, connections, and wisdom that help me to think differently and keep growing every single day. And I’m humbled by the pivotal experiences (including a couple of close calls) that have helped me to course correct. Today, I get my energy from learning new things, fostering genuine connections, taking psychological ownership of my responsibilities, and partnering with my clients to roll out strategic initiatives that drive business growth, among other things. Since you\'re still reading this, let\'s connect as human d̶o̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ beings. And yes, I make a living as a software salesperson. But don\'t worry. I don\'t believe that every conversation has to lead to a business opportunity. I’m genuinely curious to know the whole of you. WOW! You made it all the way through. You\'re a special one! Now that you\'re here, you might as well click that blue \'connect\' button :)
