Two Day National Training Workshop on "Personality Development" on October 20th and 21st 2010 at IWSB, Greater Noida U P
by shweta pande 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Dear Moderator Please circulate the information among all professionals . Dear All, It has been correctly said that “First impression is the last impression” but how well, we all present ourselves it varies from person to person. As we all Library & Professionals are perfect with our knowledge and experiences, usually the lacking part which one or the other comes across is the art of presenting ourselves in front of others. Personality grooming is not homework of one or two days, it all the way comes from few skills and learning’s like Communication skill, Negotiation skill, Body Language etc. Keeping this thought in our mind we tried to give a platform to the Library Professionals to groom themselves and learn few things on Personality Development. So, It is our pleasure to share with you that INDUS WORLD SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, Greater Noida is going to organize a Two Day National Training Workshop on "Personality Development" for Library & Information Professionals on October 20th & 21st, 2010. I hope it would be awakening to the inner potential to the Library & Professionals of India. This will enrich the experience of the participants and it is expected that they will return to their workplaces as changed people who will fulfill their potential and become the professionals they are meant to be. IWSB (Indus World School of Business) has been started with a mission to create well-rounded, open and responsible entrepreneurial leaders who can be growth catalysts in organizations, businesses and markets through leadership in thought and action. This is reflected in virtually every aspect of the Institute. The environment at IWSB encourages openness, accountability, risk taking and innovation. IWSB runs under the aegis of the Career Launcher Education Foundation, and is promoted by Career Launcher Group, a leading edu-corporate of Asia that has business operations in diverse areas in the field of education. The participants nominated for this program are expected to find it a great learning and sharing experience, due to the content and context, (details given in the attached Brochure and Format for making Nominations), with variety of topics and eminent speakers, having long experiences in Academics, Library and Industry field. I believe you and your colleague will benefit a lot from this workshop. I request you to send some nomination(s) from your Institute to encourage me in my endeavor. We look forward to your presence and participation to make the Workshop a success in achieving its goal. We are also providing transportation facility from Noida Sector 37 Detail information : www.iwsb.in Thanks With Best Regards, Yours truly, Dr. Rajesh KumarLibrarian Knowledge Resource Center Indus World School Of Business 15-A ,Knowledge Park II Greater Noida-201308,UP 0120-3969600(O) M-9899806543 drjharajeshtql(a)blogspot.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
