They have to monitor and motivate the executives / employees in the company daily to achieve company goals. They have to take immediate steps to solve the critical problems.

Due to pressure of work, they all get conditioned on several aspects and get monotony soon, which is an occupational hazard. Because of this, whatever potentials / experiences they have really, they could not use them fully. Hence they need some external support to de-condition themselves and also to have the consciousness to use all their potentials well.

They all must know as how to relax and recharge themselves in their busy work. Definitely, they all need an external support to improve their business strategies and also to have more mental power.

Best Practices

Success depends on ones practices. Role and goal clarity can lead to some good practices. Achievement motivation and effectiveness conscious can help have some more good practices. Every one need to critically look at his / her style of functioning and the practices and need to make changes appropriately and regularly and only then one can continuously succeed.

Everyone will have some good practices and some ineffective practices. One must understand the best practices to succeed in every mission. One must look at the achievers in every field and try to recognize the best practices. It is a very competitive and fast moving corporate world. Unless one make himself fit with all possible good practices, he may not manage his challenges effectively and succeed in his mission.

Prof.VGK has undertaken serious research in this regard and evolved several good practices for success loving individuals and corporate executives to perform better and succeed. He is keen to help all those who have an urge to achieve more with his mentoring and coaching to improve the best practices. It is a one to one, personalized and confidential program.

This program helps individuals / corporate executives to assess their own practices more critically and understand their good practices and ineffective practices. Then the program is designed for the individual to improve their best practices needed to perform their roles better, achieve their goals adequately and manage their challenges effectively. Also the program helps to change the ineffective practices into effective practices.

Motivation

Everyone needs a high motivation to achieve his / her goals and to manage the challenges effectively. But many a times, ones motivation comes down for various reasons. Also due to brought up and the environmental impact, one develops several negative thinking and they also reduce motivation considerably. Pressure of work and monotony also reduce motivation.
Though self-motivation is ideal, many a times people look for outside and others for motivation. But it is difficult to expect others motivation / appreciation regularly.  Every day, one gets something or the other problems, which eat his energy more and reduce his motivation. Sometimes the problems and failures can shatter the hope even and can pave the way for many negative thinking.

Unless these situations are not rationalized immediately, the negative effect can prolong and also can damage further.  One must have a confidential group of few individuals to share their feelings, problems and ideas and also seek suggestions. Very rarely, people prefer to share their views and problems with others, even if they are close to them. This hesitation can make people to live with problems. Also ordinary people are not trained professionally to counsel and hence professional counseling is more needed. 

Prof.VGK is offering motivation to address this problems. It is a one to one, personalized and confidential program. After assessing an individual, he understands the factors that reduce the motivation of the individual and give inputs to improve self-esteem and motivation. Inputs will help individuals improve their positive thinking, overcome their negative thinking and address the factors reducing self-motivation / confidence.

Prof.VGK offers this program through internet. Inputs are given 2 to 3 times a week and individuals can seek more inputs and clarify their issues regularly. It is a continuous program but offered as 3 months modules. It is a mentoring, coaching, counseling and motivational program. This program can improve self-confidence and motivation of individuals to achieve their set goals effectively.

Time Management

Most of the people find it difficult to manage the time effectively. Hence Prof.VGK offers this program to all success loving individuals, corporate and non-corporate. Sensitivity to time is very poor with a larger population. About 60% people try to engage them in their available time but not critically looking at as whether their activities are all productive and of priority.

Almost 30% population is keen to spend their time productively and work with priority, but their productive time is less than their actual available time. Less than 10% population only try to create the time needed and use their time effectively and achieve their set goals. To make every success loving person to be an achiever, he or she must get proper time management inputs. 

Most of the people are keen to use their time better but somehow they could not. Rushing at the last minute, completing the work late, postponing the work unnecessarily etc. are very common among people. Time management is perceived as managing the time, somehow. Actually time management is managing the planned activities within the time, somehow. One will not get at any time in his life, the amount of time he may need. Hence one has to learn to create the needed time. This is the time management concept of Prof.VGK.

To achieve effective time management, one has to have role clarity, goal clarity, better strategies to achieve goals, foresight of problems and delays while working, high motivation and perseverance to execute the time - action plan , effective delegation and decision making skills, proper prioritizing skill, clear and critical monitoring / review system , skill of controlling unwanted work etc…. It is not an easy job. If one can achieve proper time management, he can achieve anything in life.

Prof.VGK will assess the background and time management practices of individuals and give inputs to improve their time management skills. It is a personalized 3 months integrated program through internet. Individuals undertaking this program can have high time consciousness, prioritize their work properly, do only relevant and priority activities, have a clear time action plan, monitor and review their time management more critically and keep improving the time management.

This program not only can help improve ones effectiveness and productivity but also can reduce his unnecessary stress in life. If the program is practiced seriously for 3 months, it can become a work culture and then life can be more pleasant and many problems can vanish. It is really a boon to corporate and also to every success loving individual. Corporate can also avail it as in house program.  Individuals taking this program can also get inputs for their other needs and problems, as it is an integrated program.

Self –Training

Prof.VGK is committed to help students from age 10 onwards to develop all managerial / leadership skills in order to be great achievers later. Similarly, he wants all success loving youth to get the needed success & leadership skills to achieve their dreams. Also he is willing to sensitize all the people in the age group 10 to 60 to have an urge to achieve more. Every one must have adequate training opportunities to trim their personality. He believes that it is his professional social responsibility.

Though training is important, it is more expensive and a big team / net work is needed to train the target population – success lovers in the age group 10 to 60 years. Neither the target population nor an agency can bear this cost. Hence Prof.VGK is considering a concept of Self-training. He has done research to explore several self-training methods and convinced of about 12 self-training methods, which can help people train themselves adequately. People need a simple training to recognize self-training as a better option for their betterment.

Learning is a self-decision. Unless one wants to learn, no one can force any learning on him. Any resource person can only help learn 20% using all his skills and remaining 80% learning must come through ones own efforts and various self-training methods. Ones creativity and imagination can help learn 20% more. Interaction with core team members, colleagues & peers on concepts / issues can make learn another 20%. Attitude of experimenting new ideas & learning can give another 20% learning. To get the remaining 20% learning, one has to read relevant books, interact with experienced personnel, browsing related topics in internet etc…

Generally people want somebody to train them for their needs. It is a traditional method and the current fast moving busy world, it may not be more time and cost effective. Learning and self –development must be a daily agenda and one must take responsibility for his own success and growth. Self-development is not automatic and one has to seriously program for it. One has to take more serious efforts to achieve more and casual and convenient efforts may not give more results. It is a highly competitive world and unless one keeps sharpening his managerial/ leadership skills and strategies, he may not gain an edge over others. Hence self-training is very important.

Prof.VGK has been doing research on, as how people read self-improvement books and benefit from their reading. As he observes, people pick up a book with a fascination and read it within a few days and definitely get some new ideas and also motivation to fight their challenges. But within a month the motivation disappears and the new ideas got forgotten. Most of the people do not do careful reading and do no home work after reading and do not develop any action plan and do not follow up their plans. Simply they read books in their leisure time, one after the other and enjoy the content for some time and forget without any regret. But a careful reading of self-improvement books can definitely take one to heights.

Most of the people really do not know as how to read a self-improvement book and as how to derive more benefits from the reading. It requires some training. If people are sensitized on the importance of SELF-TRAINING, they can improve their learning more by themselves and without any external help. Self-training can help people to learn what they need. The other training options available deliver not the people want but what the provider wants.

As a trainer for 3 decades, Prof.VGK has worked with Corporate, Schools, Colleges, NGOs, social clubs & Success loving individuals and thereby experimented several training methods. Now he advocates self-training more. He has designed a special program for success lovers to acquire self-training skills. One can have this program through internet more comfortably within 3 months. It is a life skill and everybody – school students, college students, corporate managers, entrepreneurs and all success loving people- should avail this program. Interested persons can contact Prof.VGK for further details and to register for the program.
