Purpose. People. Process. - How One Session Helped Us Rethink the Vibha Way
Vibha Team Meet 2025 – Day 2 | Session 2
In a growing organization like Vibha—where passion meets process and stories travel across borders—one question often arises:
“How do we truly work together—across time zones, teams, and roles—as One Vibha?”
At the Vibha Annual Team Meet 2025, I had the privilege of facilitating a session that explored this very question. What emerged was more than discussion—it was alignment, awareness, and a renewed sense of authentic connection.
Session Focus: Bridging Teams Across Geographies
Titled “Purpose-Driven. People-Led. Process-Aligned.”, the session invited team members to pause and reflect on:
What Participants Took Away
From participant reflections, five major insights stood out:
🔹 Interdependence is Real
Understanding how the US and India teams rely on each other - especially through process - was eye-opening.”
🔹 Storytelling is Strategic
“I realized storytelling isn’t optional—it’s a critical tool for both engagement and fundraising.”
🔹 Clarity Strengthens Collaboration
“A simple one-pager with roles and faces would really help us all connect the dots.” “Having a shared platform to assign roles and track info would be a game-changer.”
🔹 We Crave Connection
“Quarterly CEO touchpoints or monthly syncs would help keep both teams aligned.” “In-person bonding made such a difference—not everything happens on Zoom!”
🔹 There’s Pride in Our Stories
“My first visit to Vibha projects in Tamil Nadu was unforgettable. Seeing students speak confidently—that’s the story we need to share more.”
What This Means for Vibha Going Forward
This wasn’t just a session. It was a mirror and a map. As we scale our work—across programs, partnerships, and people—sessions like this are vital to:
Because when purpose, people, and process move in sync, One Vibha isn’t just a vision—it becomes a working, living reality.
Closing Thought
“The way we connect, share, and support one another defines the strength of our impact.” Here’s to building not just programs, but stronger partnerships, clearer processes, and a deeper culture of trust.
