1. Communication Skills
Needless to say, communication is one of the most
important criteria of surviving and growing in an organization. A person may
have immense domain knowledge but if he/she is unable to articulate
properly, it hardly matters. Proper communication becomes highly
important during corporate presentations and in dealings with both internal
and external customers i.e. clients, colleagues, etc. Proper and assertive
communication is equally important for a successful personal life. Proper
communication is a way people judge you at many social gatherings and
get-togethers. Proper communication helps prevent escalation of conflict
situations and ensures quick resolution. Communication does not always
refer to verbal interaction; it also covers understanding non-verbal
cues and responding accordingly; it also includes
listening skills and being assertive in communication
and not aggressive. Our program on communication
covers the following topics:
a) Verbal Communication
b) Non-Verbal Communication
c) Assertive Communication
d) Listening

2. Negotiation Skills
Negotiation is a dialogue between two or more people or
parties, intended to reach an understanding, resolve point of difference, or
gain advantage in outcome of dialogue. Negotiation occurs in business,
non-profit and government organizations, legal proceedings and in personal
situations such as marriage, divorce, parenting, and everyday life. The study
of the subject is called negotiation theory. Our programme includes:
a) Definition of Negotiation
b) Outcomes of Negotiation
c) Tools of Negotiation

3. Leadership

Proper leadership can lead any organization successfully

through any kind of challenge. Leaders are courageous visionaries who have
the ability to see clear through things and have a strong conviction about
their actions. Great leaders have the ability to motivate and influence people

in people. Our program on leadership

4. Teamwork

It is easy to break a stick than a bundle of them. This story

that most of us have read in our childhood teaches us the importance of
teamwork. See how a group of red ants bring down a grasshopper they are
successful as they operate together; their goal/s is/are defined and their
actions are directed towards achieving that goal/s. teamwork can help get
things done quickly and more effectively. This however applies both in
positive as well as negative sense. When applied positively, teamwork can
work miracles. No one wins a rowing competition alone. It needs an entire
team of skilled rowers who work in unison with the sole aim of winning.
Teamwork thus brings about a sense of unity and a sense of direction in an
organization. Our program on teamwork covers:
a) From workgroups to teams

5. Creativity and Innovation

Coming up with new ideas, new ways of doing things help
to see things in new light; a problem might get solved in a more economical
and efficient way. Similarly, new product ideas are generated that might help
an organization garner huge revenues for itself. Creativity and Innovation
helps in effective problem solving, negotiation, generating new marketing
strategies etc. Creativity helps a person to
think different or in a way not considered
stereotypical by a person who prefers to
think/work in a routine manner/way. Our
program on Creativity and Innovation
covers:
a) What is Creativity and Innovation
b) Creative process
c) Characteristics of a Creative Person
d) How to bring in Creativity at workplace
e) Factors inhibiting Creativity
6. Creative Thinking
In formal education much emphasis is given for the
development of skills like analysis -- teaching students how to understand
claims, follow or create a logical argument, eliminate the incorrect paths and
focus on the correct one. However, there is another kind of thinking, one that
focuses on exploring ideas, generating
possibilities, looking for many right answers
rather thanjust one. Both of these kinds of
thinking are vital to a successful working life,
yet the latter one tends to be ignored until
after college. This type of thinking is called
Creative Thinking. This module covers:
a) Concept
b) Exercises
c) Factors that effects our creativity
d) Applying creativity
7. Positive Attitude
Changing your attitude towards positive benefits you as
well as people around you. You start to see the brighter side of things and as
a result complain less. When you complain less, you suffer less mood swings
and learn to be effective under the given constraints. You treat people with
care and do not burst out at them. People
would like working with you andyour overall
journey through life would become
smooth.Our program on positive attitude
covers:
a) Introduction/Concepts
b) Pillar 1 Peace
c) Pillar 2 Courage
d) Pillar 3 Health

8. Time Management
No one can deny the benefits brought about by effective
and efficient time management. We have all heard about the saying
Manage time Manage life. Proper time management solves most of our
problems in life. It helps us become more organized in all that we do. We end
up with a feeling that we have enough time to do everything. This is far
better than rushing to complete all activities planned where you actually end
up short of expectations. You fail yourself. Proper Work-Life balance is also
part and parcel of effective time management. Proper allocation of time for
both personal and professional activities ensures balance in your life and you
can comfortably make both ends meet.
Our program on time management
gives you an understanding ofa) What is time management
b) Getting organized
c) Goal setting
d) Delegation
e) Gaining maximum out of time
9. Stress Management
We all are aware of the term stress and normally consider
it to be negative and harmful. True, stress is harmful, both physically and
mentally, if left unmanaged for long. But if managed timely, it can boost our
performance levels. We have seen many persons who excel under pressure.
There are also incidents where people fail drastically when under stress and
even commit suicide. In order to
manage stress positively, there are many
simple and yet effective methods that
we might know and have been
highlighted in our program covering:
a) What is stress
b) Why it is caused
c) Managing stress
10. Work Life Balance
Worklife balance is a concept including proper prioritizing
between "workaholics" (career and ambition) on the one hand and "lifestyle"
(Health, pleasure, leisure, family and
spiritual development/meditation) on
the other. Our program covers:
a) Concept
b) Goal Setting
c) Practical ways of getting the most
.......out of time
d) Energy Management

Whatever the location, whatever the content, whatever

your training objectives are, we deliver it to you.
