THE BASIC FORMAT
The specifics change across our workshops. The specific illustrations and examples differ, the activities and games shift, but the basic format of what we target remains constant. The Q&As, the nitty-gritties addressed and how they will be approached will differ; the basic building blocks of genuine personality development as we have designed them and put them together, remain in place.
To provide a brief synopsis of the structure of our broad-scale workshop (which we customise upon request):
Workshop: 1 unit
Each unit: three modules.
Each module: 2 hours.
The three modules are designed to provide our participants with a bird's eye view of the 16 factors that we list here. We also offer customized workshops which focus in-depth on a combination of focus arenas.
The modules are creatively designed to explore divers life goals, career goals, short-term goals, aspirations in life and the varied means at our disposal to achieve some or many of our aspirations. We seek to have a positive impact on our participant's career prospects, purpose in life, well-being and overall happiness. Happiness, to a great extent, depends upon one's state of mind. Affecting this state of mind (through a combination of approaches) is one of the primary objectives of our workshops. This altered mindset - when it becomes an everyday reality for our participants - has a positive effect on work productivity, levels of energy, creative thinking, problem-solving ability, participation in team activity, concentration upon solitary work and even one's leisure activities. It makes one a valuable employee/employer/student/leader/professional/social citizen. This in turn increases the individual's own sense of genuine self-worth, well-being and happiness.
The above-mentioned spiral process of growth and development increases one's chances of worldly success. This is what we aim for through the basic format of our workshops. As we say, personality development is not about mugging techniques and speeches or memorizing the 'right' answers for yet another job interview or group discussion or board meeting or team meeting. But ah, yes - we do discuss some tips and tricks that fall within the rubric of soft skills and which do benefit you in the short run and the long run!

- The modules are interactive and we employ audio-visual and aural clips.

- We employ relevant case studies, social psychological research studies and illustrations from fiction and real life.
- Our participants engage in interactive exercises, games and an assortment of group activities.
- The modules are based on the Socratic method of questions and answers - so our participants will participate.

- We encourage our participants to debate and also to look at 'old' matters in 'different' and 'novel' ways.
- We do not offer any miracle solutions.
- Developing your personality depends on your applying what you find useful from our workshops in your everyday life.
- We do not make things in life appear easy-peasy, la-la or simplistic.
- We present things how they are in reality - often-times fluid and complex. We do provide various tips and tricks in how to disentangle complexity.
- We do not tell you what you must do.
- We present the options and alternatives that you can avail when you face choices or when you face obstacles or challenges.
