Training  Modules

Prof.VGK offers in house training to corporate anywhere in India / abroad . He has training modules for CEOs and departmental heads , HR Managers and Team leaders & Executives. The following are some training programs , frequently organized to corporate:

Apart from the above, Prof.VGK can also undertake induction / orientation / re-orientation training.  He can also undertake other soft skills / managerial skills training modules for the needs of corporate. He is more flexible with duration, number of participants in a batch, timings of training etc. If corporate wants to club a few modules in one training, he can oblige .
In case, a company wants to have training with their sister concerns / neighboring companies in order to save cost, Prof.VGK can very well encourage such proposals.  If corporate give reasonable freedom and cooperate, he can do wonders for them through training.

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.

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.

Training club

Training is a must for Corporate Health:

Only a few companies organize trainings regularly and many companies think of it but somehow don't do it seriously. Either companies don't spend time to identify the trainers or have reservations on the cost of training. High attrition is also a major reason for companies down play training as trained people leave often.

Now a days, the performance gap between an achiever and the person who could not achieve it is very narrow. Almost all the executives have all the needed technical and managerial skills needed to manage their challenges and to achieve their set goals. But sharpening of the soft skills makes all the difference. Executives need to keep sharpening all their managerial skills, almost every day to succeed continuously.

Training approach need to be changed : 

Previously, training was considered as a process of merely getting knowledge, attitude and skills on the needed aspects. But today to manage the global competition, executives need to develop more and more best practices and regularly update their practices. Nothing is a constant now a days and everything is changing faster and hence executives need to be more sensitive to their situation / needs / problems and find tune their strategies and practices regularly

Though almost all have agreed to this, only a very few take serious efforts to audit their practices and keen to update their practices with a high learning aptitude. Of course, all executives learn something everyday but they are not that keen to have a focused learning. Only a proper self-introspection and regular inputs either as training or mentoring / coaching from experienced professional can help executives sharpen /update their best practices. 

There are many constraints to executives in getting trained on the needed aspects. They cannot spare time to attend training programs. Most of the training programs are for a group of executives and hence it is of general nature and therefore executives cannot get all needed inputs.  On the other hand, because the programs are of group nature, they cannot reveal their true problems in public . As a result, they get only the available inputs  and not the needed inputs .

Professional Social Responsibility:

Most of the training in India is still trainer oriented than participants oriented. Hence Prof.VGK wanted to make training individual oriented and a reality to every corporate in India. He is keen to make all the fruit of his 30 years of HR / Management Consultancy & Training practice and ACHIEVEMORE research, available to every corporate and every success loving person . Hence he is offering several programs through internet for every corporate to avail them more and conveniently in their time.

He is offering all his programs as more cost effective and affordable even to small companies as part of his professional social  responsibility.   He strongly believes that thousands of people – his trainers, clients, trainees, associates etc.. had contributed to sharpen his managerial / HRD skills, over these years. Hence, sincerely he wants to give all his expertise back to the people at large, as his contribution to the society.

Concept of Training club: 

It is a forum for corporate and success loving individuals to avail the needed Consultancy  / Training and Mentoring / Coaching to manage their challenges effectively and also to achieve their goals adequately through internet at affordable cost . It is a boon to top management team, departmental heads, college students & working professionals particularly, employed in IT / software / BPO companies.

Prof.VGK very much believes in self-training concept. Yes, every person is capable of learning more than 80% of their needed learning by themselves using several self-training methods. A consultant or trainer can hardly help learn 20% of learning. Training club is evolved on this basis and self-directed, adult learning and process oriented methods are more used for better results. Regular self-introspection and goal oriented approach are the advantages of training club.

Training / learning is a self-decision and one cannot be forced to learn anything. Hence training club is designed to help individuals have adequate freedom and more conveniences / choices in learning. Inputs are given through internet and one can take the input in his desired time and leisurely. Ample opportunities are there for individuals to clarify their doubts and ask for the needed inputs.

Prof.VGK is available to individuals for all their learning / behavior modification needs, which can give a big confidence and motivation to individuals availing the program that somebody is there to care of their needs. Programs are designed for all categories of executives and more programs are going to be added soon.

Executive Training

A company can sponsor 3 personnel and choose 3 modules of importance. They can be trained for 3 months, one module every month through internet. They can in turn easily train minimum 300 employees. This program can help generate more team leaders, develop team work and can ensure Corporate health.

Since 3 employees are trained and made to work as a team, they can interact more, which can improve their learning and also they can complement one another on the modular package. Because they are to train other employees, they can have a positive pressure to learn adequately during the program and also their ego can make them plan well and train others effectively.

Every month, they will be training other employees on the module they got trained. This training assignment can sharpen their learning and as well their learning skills. They will be reviewed of their performance of the assignment and can offer more tips to improve their effectiveness. Since the same participants work together for 3 months,   their skills gap can be better understood and trained adequately.

The team will plan to train other employees & customize modules suitable to the company. This approach can make the team, take the responsibility of monitoring / ensuring the practice of leadership / managerial skills of the package, in the entire company. Ultimately, the team can emerge as effective leaders & take up more management assignments.
 
Within 3 months, they can surely clarify all their doubts on the 3 modules and can ensure an adequate training to their employees. Definitely these 3 personnel can be well trained on the modular package and such a continuous and closely monitored training is rare in India. Also training is ensured to more than 300 employees without extra cost. Actually a company is helped to train all the employees with less than 10% of the real training cost.

Trainers Training

Prof.VGK firmly believes that internal trainers can do better training than external trainers. Very few organizations have got in house training facilities / expertise. Most of the HR personnel only coordinate training programs and outsource trainers and not very much keen to organize trainings themselves.

HR executives and other senior personnel in a company can together work as a team and organize the needed training comfortably, if   management is committed to train them for the job and this team is also committed to get trained to do training. A company can handle 90% of their training needs with internal resources and rarely can look for external trainers.

This approach not only can make the training more effective, but also can bring down the training budget more. In fact, every professional must accept a role to practice their profession, which is universally being followed. The other two roles, sharing their expertise / experiences with others in the company through training or organization development and taking up simple research to develop new strategies and to find solutions to problems are not taken seriously, in general.

The training needs assessment has to be done regularly and a training calendar has to be evolved for every year and the local team must take responsibility to execute the training plan and take up training as their routine activity along with other job responsibilities. All departmental / sectional heads and HR team can form the training team and share the responsibility of entire employees training in the company. Management also must consider training as a key performance area while evaluating the performance of an executive.

This core training team must be trained in training needs assessment, modular / curriculum development, designing training processes, training methods / ice breaks / social games, management of training, materials development, evaluation of training, making training report etc. Depending on the needs of companies, a team of trainers can be trained through internet.

The sponsored training team can be assessed for their training skills and a suitable training program can be organized. After availing trainers training from Prof.VGK, the team can train their 2nd line also on training and development, which can help manage the attrition of trained trainers and ensure the company with some trained trainers, anytime.

Training Consultancy

It is a special training for existing training team in companies to sharpen their training skills. Companies / the training team can select any 3 modules of importance and Prof.VGK can give consultancy & training to the team in organizing those modules in the company. Consultancy & training can cover all aspects of training and to address the training skills gap of the training team.

This program can help the training team to recognize their problems in organizing training and get inputs to rectify them. Also it can help them to develop more best practices in organizing training and make them be more assertive. Though it is a short term program, but can give long term benefits to companies. After this training, the training team can train other potential trainers in the company and ensure the company have some trained trainers at any time, in spite of attrition.

Training Methods / Social Games

Every executive in a company, one time or the other, has to perform the role of trainer to make other employees improve their performance at work either within department or during team work.  Hence, apart from communication skills, all must know the various training methods so that they can train their target audience within the time available and to achieve the training goals. They must know, which method to be used and when.

Training is a tough public speaking. Unless they know as how to keep the participants with interest while training, their effort may not yield desired results. Hence they must know several Ice breaking games and as well other social games to make the participants learn the inputs easily and with high participation. Now a days, people do not like more lectures and only play way methods can improve training effectiveness.

This training is a boon to all executives particularly the existing training team and potential trainers in companies. In puts will be given through internet. After an assessment, a suitable training program can be evolved to suit the company needs and participants background. Depending on the corporate need, the methods and games can be decided. The entire program is with full of fun. This program can help improve the effectiveness of regular meetings in the company.

Leadership Development

Most of the executives are having adequate technical skills somehow but very much lacking leadership / managerial / soft skills. Almost everyone believes that their technical skills only can take them to their professional height. But they realize the importance of leadership skills only when they get into problems. Attitude and style of functioning determine ones success. Hence leadership training is very much needed for every executive.

Executives working in IT / software / BPO companies very much suffer without proper personal skills and it is the reason for all their stress. An individual training can help them very well. They must be helped to understand their real personality and style of functioning. If they recognize their problems, they can be motivated to come out of them and can take needed efforts to manage them adequately.

A personal counseling, motivation, skill development inputs, problem managing inputs etc… are very much needed . Depending on ones personality, problems and professional needs, a suitable program can be designed for a desired period.  Prof.VGK can help individuals develop any leadership skill, sort out any problem either at home or office or elsewhere with needed consultancy and training inputs.

It is a one to one and confidential program and one can freely reveal his or her problem and seek the needed inputs. This program can also benefit college students, both engineering and non-engineering.

Apart from Corporate programs, Prof.VGK offers several programs to all success loving individuals. Working executives, business people, software professionals, young engineers, BPO personnel and College students can avail these programs.  Prof.VGK is keen to help all those who have an urge to achieve more.

Generally, people find it difficult to share their needs and problems with others and hesitate to seek the needed help. Hence Prof.VGK offers various programs for individuals to share their needs / problems confidentially.
