Teaching Experience in detail in Behavioural Training Classes

Apart from being a trainer, I am a counselor. I take up counseling assignments as well as I teach counseling since last 20 years. The training modules that I have developed, particularly 'Life Balance Sheet' helps in creating aha feeling for many of my students (of life). Behavioural training also needs to look at some of the life skills like communication, interpersonal skills, self awareness, empathy and then one looks at critical and creative thinking skills towards decision making and problem solving. And all this leads to stress as well as emotional management. Being pioneer in developing life skills education in India, I integrate all these skills training in helping the clients build their positive, integrative and expansive behaviour. I work on experiential and practical processes for training with very little theory.

I began training youngsters in communication process during early '90s when actually I was running my Industry. Public speaking had come naturally to me and was further honed as I kept attending learning workshops under National and International masters. I have learnt various life skills and philosophy of life under Gurus like Dr Bharat Chandra, Dr J M Sampath, Swamy Sukhbodhanand ji, Edward DeBono( Thinking), Richard Bandler (Creator of NLP) etc during my formative years. I then started designing and conducting workshops on communication, Inter personal relationships, Empathy, Self awareness, Emotional intelligence, critical and creative thinking, stress management etc. etc for corporate officers. Over period I graduated into creating my own processes and games for effective training for behavioural change. Two of the most effective instruments I have created are 'Life Balance Sheet' and 'JOG with the POT' I am on the panel of senior facilitators for training IAS officers, Corporate managers and even students at an international Institution called Initiatives of Change. I do undertake individual cases as well as organisational assignments.
