It’s that time of the year again when all of the world and its mother rave about the number game.Not finances, I’m talking about “The Results”. It’s that time where several Boards across the country announce their earth-shattering “Board Exam Results” This brings me to share a quick moment of nostalgia with you… When I… Continue reading The Journey or The Destination ?

“Who’s not had breakfast today? I can’t hear you….GOOD MORNINGGGGG!”
From school assemblies and class teachers, to meetings, conferences, seminars, event anchors, jocks, speakers and trainers- this dialogue just never gets old, does it? We’ve all grown up hearing it. We’ve eye-rolled at and side-eyed the enthu-cutlet yelling at the other end of the room. Cut to, when I was affiliated with educational institutions, onboarded… Continue reading “Who’s not had breakfast today? I can’t hear you….GOOD MORNINGGGGG!”
“What’s the difference between Training, and Engagement?”
As a FaciliTrainer, this is one of the ubiquitous FAQ’s clients ask. ‘All trainings aren’t Engagement, and all engagement isn’t Training.’ Engagement can be created by practically anything- Zumba, music, bursting balloons, games, competitions, art, treks, trainings, anything.Trainings are a one-way street to knowledge transfer. But are all training programs engaging? Contrairement, are all engagement… Continue reading “What’s the difference between Training, and Engagement?”
10 years and 7 industries later…
As you know, this year marks my 10th year working. Not gonna lie, this decade-long career trajectory has been equal parts of enriching, abundant, wholesome, angsty, erratic, and turbulent. Over the decade, I’ve dabbled into 7 industries. Some jobs, I flirted with; some others, I had a long standing affair with. And then finally I… Continue reading 10 years and 7 industries later…
The Power of Open-ended Visual Anchors
For a recent intervention, while designing and charting the visual aids, I thought of doing something hors d’ordinaire. So typical. Usually my visual aids have been structured, topical, and precise. This time around, I decided to leave them open-ended, and a bit abstract. Could’ve been a hit or a miss, I know. It was a… Continue reading The Power of Open-ended Visual Anchors
Contracting: The Small Hinge That Swings Big Doors of Learning Interventions
Just this morning, I wrapped up a first-level client call.What was supposed to go by like a butterfly flapping its wings, turned into a linchpin. The client approached the call with a requirement of a “hard core sales training” for their sales team that often works on targets.A detailed conversation, and a couple hundred questions… Continue reading Contracting: The Small Hinge That Swings Big Doors of Learning Interventions
“What’s your Aha! Moment from the session?”
As a facilitator, its quite common to ask this question to the participants for closure. It gives us an insight on what stood out for the participants, what’s a new discovery they made, any realisations and/or revelations they’ve had, and more. During a recent session for a senior leadership team, I had my Aha moment… Continue reading “What’s your Aha! Moment from the session?”
What differentiates a “good” session from a “great” learning intervention?
Well well well… A session where the audience is hooked, there’s smiles and laughter, they’re participating in your activities, they’re engaged well, you’ve probably “motivated/inspired” some of them, there is perhaps some music/dance/ hoots and the likes of it, there’s a loud applause at the end of it, you’ve transmitted a tsunami of facts, figures,… Continue reading What differentiates a “good” session from a “great” learning intervention?
Research: the salt in the recipe
Over the last 3 years, I’ve had the absolute pleasure, privilege, and joy of working with 33+ Brands widespread across 17+ vivid sectors and industries.And that’s not even the real prize. Each new industry I associate with, I spend copious amounts of time researching about that business. The competition, the breakthroughs, the challenges, the loopholes,… Continue reading Research: the salt in the recipe
“So where can I use this activity in my sessions?”
A juvenile question that even I have been guilty of asking, in my days as novice to the world of facilitation. In some further unfortunate cases, it’s the Lead Facilitator himself whose USP is “use this 1 activity and run 15 topics and 5 sessions and earn 10x”Sigh. About 3 years ago when I debuted… Continue reading “So where can I use this activity in my sessions?”
