As they say there are no coincidences, Jaya and Pragati's connection is a testimony to that saying. Both of them first met at a workshop as strangers and then life brought them together on multiple occasions for different reasons. The instant connection created a relationship of trust, dedication and later culminated into a tool which is now called as "MERAKI". True to it's name, both the creators leveraged their strengths and labor of love to give it a shape of a transformative tool designed to facilitate reflective and generative conversations. As they started to discuss and deliberate on the tool, they started to discover surprising messages coming through for them. The tool has been tested with several coaches already and their experiences are shared in the last section of the guidebook. While the tool has been tested with coaches, it can be used by any leader, creative professional, coach, facilitator, trainer, HR Professional, teacher, parent, child (9 years and above) or anyone who believes in the magic of mysticism and logic coming together. It has the power to facilitate generative conversations, ones that generate shared meaning and lead to action. Hope you enjoy the mysticism invited by the tool for different aspects of life. We both wish that you receive the clues, signs and directions you are seeking. Wish you MERAKI !
