"Walking in the fire"

Being in the firing line is pretty common but walking between two lines of fire?? To clear up am not blabbering but this was the fire walk activity conducted by priya Kumar at the MTHR SHRM event in Chennai on Saturday and her session was a breath of fresh air for the following reasons
1) She did not talk and motivate like others
2) She was very genuine and was talking about fears what everyone has gone through
3) She did not make herself a larger than life image which trainers normally do

Normally people will just start leaving towards the final session of a daylong event but no one dared to walk out she had every single person's attention fixed on her and man she was good

Then we had the fire walk exercise where initially it appeared it was like the Tamil movies where you had to walk on a bed of coals but later when i mustered up the courage to walk I realized it was just grass and mud and the path was surrounded by flames.

Then I wanted to do it again and I did it!!! But the important thing was to break out of the fear and go in it. So many people shied away from it but only those walked on fire will be the one who can face the barrage!!!
