What do you learn in a school leadership training program?

You learn a lot in a school leadership training program whether you are a teacher or head of the school.

However what you learn also depends on how excited and receptive you become while undergoing the curse, and how well-informed, interactive, and persuasive your trainers are.

A school leadership training program primarily works on your leadership skills and conversational skills and gives you a new perspective of leading your teachers, students, and support staff by example. Through real life examples, you are made to see the flaws in your existing approach and ways to improve on it so that you become all the more persuasive and powerful.

You learn to manage. You learn to work with people. You deepen your understanding of challenges that were bogging you down in all these years. And you learn to tackle them head-on.

A school leadership training program is way more than just a skill development training program – you evolve as a teacher, as a school head.

Now what is really important is that you take this program only when you are prepared for it. Don’t rush into it. Try getting training under a company that has designed and delivered school leadership training programs for a good number of years, and understands the challenges you face as a head of an educational institution.

Hope this blog post has helped you understand what a school leadership training program entails and the kind of boost it will give to your career! For more on this and other skill training programs, keep in touch.

Easy way to up the sales of your retail stores

You’re an area sales manager. You oversee the sales of the stores in your territory. You’re frustrated and a little scared these days. Your stores aren’t doing as per expectations. And now you secretly wish for some miracles.

Maybe you don't’ need a miracle.

A simple, intelligently crafted sales training programme might do the trick.

And please don’t lean on internal resources to train your sales staff in the stores. Hire specialists.

Give them a brief about your team. Why do you think they’re not able to perform to their potential? And what sort of results you expect out of the program.

The training specialists might have a little chat with your people. Or, they might ask them to fill out some forms to gauge their training requirements.

Finding a good training partner shouldn’t take you long - just make a quick online search for the employability skills training or experiential learning training company in your city. Go through their sites and see which ones make sense. Give them a call to further narrow down on the most appropriate training partners.

I am sure a targeted training would help your staff interact better with the customers and end up making more sales.

Besides training, you should also find some time every now and then to interact with your sales staff - find out what is it that’s bugging them down, what motivates them the most, and who they are outside their jobs. A little word of motivation goes a long way.

Third, you need to monitor your team closely – some team players might not be the right fit for your organisation. Talk to them. And if they don’t show improvement over a period of time, let them go.


Last, but certainly not the least, get only an experienced and professional employability skills training company on board – a new company might not be able to understand the psyche of your people and might not be good with the content delivery as well.

School leadership training programs – because our kids deserve the best

They’re in schools. They’re young and full of imagination. They’re clay and as teachers you can mould them the way you want. And they need to be molded the right way so that they can grow up to be responsible global citizens and can contribute to the socio-economic engine of the great land that is India. As teachers, you’ve to play big.


To give the best to the kids, you need to continue to up your skills as well. You head the school and thus you play a big role in setting the environment for the school. To get better at this job, you can take a school leadership training programme. Educational boards like CBSE have tied up with vocational education and training companies to develop content for such leadership programs so that they can resonate with school heads and teachers like you and prepare you to get better at your job.


A school leadership training programme is often a training program that lasts for a couple of days and introduces the school heads to the concepts of leadership and the latest in school management and people interaction. On the completion, you’ll feel more confident, more motivated, and more resourceful to interact with your staff and kids. And that’s what will add a ton of value to your teachers’ capabilities and leadership qualities, to the kids and how they learn and grow, and eventually how your school ends up performing year after year.


Sounds good? Connect with a leading school leadership or vocational education and training company to understand what more a school leadership training programme involves for the growth of the school heads. We’ve also published a couple of posts in the past on school leadership and children development – you can read them until we come up with more posts. If you’ve something up on your mind about school leadership or training programmes, you can drop us a comment. We’d love to reply!

5 tips for improving your communication skills

You know your job. You meet the deadlines. And you constantly look for new challenges.
But when it comes to putting your message across, you fail miserably. And in your dreams, you wish you’d a genie that could turn around your communication skills and make you a great communicator. The good news is you no longer need a genie to improve your communication skills. Because there’re some easy ways out there that have helped many – and there’s no way they wouldn’t help you.

#Tip1
Take a break – and enroll for an employability training program
Believe me, a well-crafted employability skills training that focuses on soft skills help a ton in improving the confidence and public speaking skills of a person. Go for a one-to-one training. Or, learn in a group training program.

#Tip2
Work on your body language
You say a lot even when you don’t say a word – body language is what I’m talking about here. You can buy a book on body language or watch some videos on YouTube.
And you might learn about body language in an employability skills training program as well. For instance, you should avoid taking phones or looking at them constantly when someone is talking with you. It looks rude. Also, when you’re discussing something with someone in your office or family, try to avoid crossing your arms across your chest. There’s so much more about body language that once you learn will make you a good communicator.

#Tip 3
Listening
Great communicators aren’t those who talk a ton – instead they’re those who listen a lot. Listening, true listening is a tough job, but this is what makes an ordinary conversation a great opportunity to learn about the other person, to send your message across effectively, and to be perceived as a great communicator.

#Tip 4
Tell them a story
We’re wired to fall in love with stories. So try to be a good storyteller. When you’ve a story, people really look forward to listen from you. No, I don’t mean you literally tell them a story of a fairy and a demon. Just structure your speech, sprinkle some questions here and there, and keep your conversation short and sweet.

#Tip 5
Tweak your message to your audience
You behave different when you’re in the office and are having a conversation with your colleagues or boss. And then you go home and become a changed person, right? Similarly, you got to change your speech or message depending on whom you’re talking to. This sounds like common sense, but I have met people who really fail to understand the different in their audience and thus they fail miserably as communicators. So next time when you’ve something to say to your boss, go out, sip your tea, and think about what exactly you would say and how.

We’re done for this post. But we’ve a lot more to share with you on Skill development training, employability skills training and management skills. If you too feel you want to be part of this journey, join the tribe.

How to make your people super performers?

“Only the people who take learning, growth and skills development into their hands will be tomorrow’s leaders.”
-    Alli Worthington 


Organisations are now on a different path altogether – they’re creating leaders within and outside. They’ve understood the enormous value that a driven individual can bring to his / her work and to the organisation at large.

Facebook, Google, Tata, Infosys, take any global organisation and you’ll see the immense role that training programs are playing in the success of these organisations. But the training programs that are delivered within the premises of these entities are not the regular programs – they’re different, very different in content and in approach.

Now what you can possibly learn from these companies is their approach towards their human asset and the way they’re emphasizing on their personal and leadership skills. You too can replicate their model – get to know the sheer value that global training solutions add to the growth of an organisation and then get engaged with a leading training outsourcing firm. The good thing is we, in India, have a pretty good number of global training solutions companies that have been around for years and have worked with diverse industries.

Picking a training outsourcing company might be a daunting task at first. But stick around for a little and you’ll eventually figure it out. Follow your guts. Meet several companies working in the training space. See whether they have experience and resources of up skilling your people. And then go with the one that makes perfect sense in your case.

What is equally important is setting the desired outcomes right at the onset of the program. Discuss this in detail with the training company that you pick. The content of the program has to be tailored in accordance with the training needs and interests of the participants. And for this, you might want the training outsourcing company to conduct a thorough needs-diagnostic study so that they know their role very well.

You might be the owner of the business or you might be the HR manager – whoever you are, you understand the kind of efforts that go in the making of a workforce that thrives in this increasingly competitive marketplace. Thoroughly structured global training solutions are the magic wands that you’d need to transform the very way your people think and act at your workplace. Trainings don’t have to be expensive, but they have to be highly targeted and engaging. 


How about finding out more about the impact that global training solutions make to an organisation? We’ll tell you all in our forthcoming articles. So just stay connected.

How can a skilling company benefit you in the planning and execution of a CSR strategy?

Corporate houses in India were always engaged in social welfare. They would build houses, schools, and hospitals for their employees, their families, and even for the surrounding communities.

However, corporate social responsibility in India is now legally dictated – governments lay down policies as to how corporates in different earning ranges should spend on their CSR. Top corporates even go on to hire specialists to help them plan, develop, manage and execute CSR programs.

Skilling has become an important area for those involved in CSR – even the present government has advised corporates to spend a significant portion of their CSR spending on skill development programs. This is where skilling & training companies come in the scene.


Skilling & training companies not only help their clients in the formation of their CSR strategies but also help them execute the same. A company can hire one such skill development service provider and lighten the burden on its resources – it no longer needs to invest enormous amounts of efforts and resources to plan out the CSR activities and get bothered about its execution. A skilling & training company might even locate the youth to be skilled and customize the training to better fit their training needs. The youth then can be placed either within the company that sponsored the training program or in some other company or industry.


Skilling youth is a great step for any company. They not only fulfill their CSR commitments, but also contribute to the economic engine of the country. After all, India is going to need millions of more skilled manpower in the coming years.

For more on corporate social responsibility in India and how you can benefit from the consultancy of a professional skilling & training company, read our other published posts. Also stay connected for our up-and-coming posts.

5 practices of an influential leader

Who doesn’t want to be an influential leader? But, leadership isn’t a quality that you can learn overnight – you got to put in years practicing the art of leadership and continue to refine it till it becomes an inseparable part of your personality. Herein this post, we’ll walk you through 5 practices of world’s top influential leaders – and we hope you learn something valuable here about leadership. 

Exude a positive outlook
We know it’s tough to be positive every day when you go to office and get into situations when you want to shout at the top of your lungs – but this practice of having a positive outlook and disposition towards anything that life throws at you is what differentiates an influential leader from a regular, average leader.

To begin with, you should be excited about going to work every day, even though you’re neck deep in work and have deadlines to meet which seem impossible to meet. Just be excited, greet your colleagues with a smile, and your customers and vendors with a wider smile. Do this for a couple of days – soon you’ll see a nice change in yourself and the way people around you approach and interact with you.

Be assertive 
Assertiveness is the quality of being self-assured and confident without being aggressive – this is one of the skills you get to learn in influential training programs. By being assertive, you can achieve whatever you want out of people you work with, without offending or insulting them. When you are assertive, you share the vision with the people and make them part of the success that you’ve thought about.


Think Logically
Influential leaders are those who take decisions without being biased – when conflict arises, influential leaders listen to all the parties involved and reach the decisions based on facts, without taking any side.

Be involved
Influential leaders do not just delegate work and responsibilities and oversee from sidelines – influential leaders get involved in whatever excites them. They get involved, show results, and thus influence.

Be open minded
This is an important quality of influential leaders – they’re receptive towards ideas and changes. They aren’t rigid in their approach and attentively listen to constructive criticism.

There’s more to influence trainers and training – if you’re someone who wishes to hone his/her leadership qualities, get in touch with a respected sales training consultancy / leadership consultancy company.

In our next posts, we’re planning to write down on sales training, leadership training, and how to select a sales training consultancy. If you’re excited about all this, see us regularly so that you don’t miss out on anything important.
