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 dont know how to act in certain situations. Every time we fail we dont 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
question that haunts us most of the time Did I express myself correctly in such and such situation?
