Your Contributions Do Count.

We are into a profession of making a difference and creating more and more success stories.

Your Contributions Do Count.
It doesn’t matter if our efforts get recognized or not; what matters most is that we are able to be a part of someone's success and that sense of contribution itself is an accomplishment.

"Training & Development is a thankless profession!" In my career as a trainer, I came across such remarks quite frequently. To be honest, I must acknowledge the fact that we are into a profession of making a difference and creating more and more success stories. It doesn’t matter if our efforts get recognized or not; what matters most is that we are able to be a part of someone's success and that sense of contribution itself is an accomplishment. 

I cherish these heart-warming messages as precious souvenirs

Recently I came across these messages from Akash (an MBA student) who has received his PPO (Pre-Placement Offer) from ITC, and Anjali (a BTech student) who is presently working with TCS. As a T & D professional, I cherish these heart-warming messages as precious souvenirs that remind me the value of my contribution and make me feel grateful to be in this worthy profession.

Ashish, an aspiring bodybuilder, met me when he was going through some troubled times both personally and professionally.

Remember, life is to do more and achieve more. Never doubt your potential and keep working hard in the direction of your dreams. Allow your passion to become your profession. Your contributions do count.
