Skills Development Workshop

Communication is something which all of us do from the very first day of our life, yet there

is a question that haunts us most of the time “Did I express myself correctly in such and

such situation?” The answer to this question is really tricky, because in some cases we

leave our signatures and good impression but in some others we even fail to get our idea

clearly. It happens mostly because we don’t know how to act in certain situations. Every

time we fail we don’t lose completely, we do learn something, but prior knowledge of the

same thing could be more beneficial because then we could have turned that failure into

success.

The course / workshop would focus at many aspects of personality, like:

Building positive relationships with peers & seniors

Building self-confidence & Developing clear communication skills

Exploring and working on factors that help or hinder effective interpersonal

communication

Learning impacts of non-verbal behavior & Dealing with difficult situations and

difficult people

Workshops Consists of Following Activities:

Personality Development

Group Discussions & Debates

Seminar & Presentations

Case Studies & Analysis

Corporate Communication

HR & Interview Skills

Management Games & Simulations

Aptitude, Logical & Reasoning Assessments & Development
