Authentic Guide to Building a Fulfilling Life with Tarinee Pandey  What does it take to find success? For Tarinee Pandey, it was a twofold lesson of learning to come from a place of humility in all things and to take pride in what you've accomplished. While there's something to be said for bringing something to an extreme, there's also a lot of value in finding balance. All the life lessons you learn have their place. In this episode, Tarinee Pandey, the Chief People Officer of Puma Capital Group, describes the lessons she learned from the three valuable moments in her life. The first is the journey Puma Capital Group embarked on to become one of the Top 100 Greatest Places to Work despite its not-so-perfect beginnings. The second and third are her personal stories of running the London Marathon and learning to accept a wonderful life — even if it's not perfect.

Coaching with Angela Cox Listen to The Mindset Mentor Meets Episode Highlights  [02:39] Tarinee's First Proudest Moment: A Great Company Tarinee's company was rated one of the Top 100 Great Places to Work within financial services. It's not about the award — it's about the journey from an unpleasant company to a great one. Their company initially hired people based on their skills rather than who they were. It eventually became a place that even Tarinee would want to avoid working in. It took several difficult decisions to make the company what it is today — a company where people truly feel they belong. [09:40] Tarinee's Second Proudest Moment: Running a Marathon Tarinee trained hard for and ran the London Marathon — a run spanning over 26 miles. Running the marathon taught her the value of setting a goal and seeing it through to the end, regardless of the obstacles. Training for the marathon had difficult moments that Tarinee admits weren't enjoyable. Tarinee admits that finishing the marathon doesn't change anything for anyone else but was a powerful personal journey. [14:14] The London Marathon At first, she thought she could stick to her time goals. The second part of the run had her telling herself to stick to her plan. She had run this far before in training, so she would be okay. The last part had her running with the strength of her heart — mind over matter, despite how her body hurt. Tarinee described the whole experience as both emotional and meditative. [18:29] Tarinee's Third Proudest Moment: Accepting the No Tarinee's third moment is deeply personal — it's when she decided not to have a second child. She has a thirteen-year-old son, but they struggled to have a second one. Tarinee learned to let go of the fact that, even if life wasn't going the way she wanted, that didn't mean it wasn't a good life. Tarinee admits that her entire life had been all about working and pushing hard enough for what she wanted. One of the most powerful life lessons Tarinee learned was to be proud of what she has — even if it wasn't exactly what she wanted. [27:47] Tarinee's Secret to Success Success comes from building meaningful relationships. The relationships can be personal or professional, but they underly everything. However, building relationships is hard; it requires work and trust. It's also important to have fun doing what you're doing. [31:37] How to Connect You won't want to connect with everyone, so recognise that you don't have to connect with everybody.
