It Was Worth to Sleep 5 Hours

As soon as I arrived to the conference venue, I was welcomed by a lady in charge of VIP and speakers. She seemed happy to see me & asked me enthusiastically if I knew in which seminar room my talk would take place. “Yes. Seminar room 3 & it is tomorrow” I said. “Great! I am now taking you to the VIP/Speakers lounge so that you can eat or drink something.” she added. One part of me longed for breakfast in the lounge. The other half of mine responded: “Thank you. Actually, I would like to directly go to the keynote area to listen to the keynote talk.”,

Master Leadership Skills in the New Digital Era

message ile ilgili görsel sonucuLast year, I received a LinkedIn message from a consultant I didn’t know.

At first glance, I wondered if something important was going to come out of it and I even doubted the reality of the issue.

5 Suggestions for TED Like Presentations

TED-Talk-WebSince the very first day I started working in the training & development field, one of the most requested training topics is “Effective Presentation Skills.” The most important reason of this is that speaking in front of an audience is a common fear of us.

    My suggestion may be; choosing commonly used words as if it is not a speech but a conversation between you and the audience. If the words we use are too terminological, it may be hard to follow for the others.

Freedom To Fail

Freedom

Hiring the BEST talents is arguably the biggest challenge most organizations face. And the task is even more daunting for a boutique company like Learnnovators, which needs to vie with some of the biggest national and multi-national corporates to attract these talents.

But I am very proud to say that Learnnovators has consistently been able to woo and recruit the crème de la crème of the e-learning industry. The key reason, we found, for prospective career seekers to choose Learnnovators over competition was because we offered them something that most organizations did not… the FREEDOM TO FAIL!!!

HR TrendsFortune Magazine conducts a survey entitled “World’s Most Admired Companies – WMAC” annualy and rates the companies according to their reputations. Even though the ranking and the names of the companies in the list change year by year, there are some companies who persistently stay in the list. (To access the list of 2014 please click here)
