Mr. Vasandani is not new to our industry. Earlier also he has conducted similar programmes which have been well received, well appreciated, and because of the positive and encouraging feedback given by the participants, we again repeat this programme this time.

He is very expert in presentation skills also, with his infrastructure & facilities you will love to attend his programme.

(13th - 15th October, 2007)

I am sure, these three days and the number of hours you have spent here must have been never ending - You would have thought, it should continue as ever. It will improve yourself - I am sure every individual has this thought in his mind.

One thing on the first day I mentioned, that I attended this course in 2001. Why I wanted to be so specific, is because the memories are so fresh in my mind, that even if it is 2001 - you know I sometimes feel that I attended this last month only.

I am one of his Well-Wishers, why - because you know, it has really given me a lot of improvement in my life. I was just an ordinary person, you know not even like you - whatever caliber you have. I was just an ordinary person. I have been brought up in the company by the top management because they identified that this guy has the potential - and they gave me opportunities of attending such programmes, which has really helped me.

And every one from you will definitely have benefits in life - Just try to implement all that you have learnt.

I actually want to thank Sir, whole heartedly. But they say all good things come to an end. But then we still believe in the statement, that nothing has come to an end. It is just the beginning. It is just the beginning of a beautiful start, of a beautiful success. Because, Sir has transferred so much of Positive Energy in us.

I mean on the first day we all were very negative about every thing. Like, we were Negative. But 20-is-to-1 or 21-is-to-one, all the Positive Energy was transferred there. Nothing could touch Sir. Nothing could touch Sir. I mean on the first day we all were Blank - we would not say anything. Second day, the difference was, we all started interacting with him. And that is the effect - that is the impact a person like him can have with so much of Positive Energy.

In these 3 days he has not just shared knowledge, he has shared with us Experience, his whole life of - his whole life with us. At this stage, 20 yrs before, we are getting so much of practical experience from him. 20 yrs down the line we will have much more experiences. We should thank sir for all those practical life experiences what he has given us.

And then the point which he said - Genuine Concern for the other person. If this point wasn't meant - I mean when the person says this, he has to be genuine himself. Otherwise we will not be believe it. And with the genuine concern, when you have the genuine concern you can deliver it in that way. Otherwise it is like - you are just saying it and the person is just not receiving the whole thing actually. So I feel whenever you do any thing - you do it genuinely, you get success in it.

Not the communication, not just a presentation, your communication, your inter-personal skills - when you genuinely do it, yes you will get success in it.

You don't need to practice that thing, Genuine thing, it comes on your own - when you feel for other person first and then for yourself, that is the best thing what, and that is the best thing what Sir has taught us in these 3 days.

You cannot say Thank you or you know, just a round of applause for Sir - NO. It is our transformation, in the next years, implementing these points, implementing these beautiful suggestions that will actually give a reward to Sir, in a way of our transformation.

So I can just say this, lets all of us give a round of applause for Sir, at the moment.

 

 

Testimonials about our TRAIN-THE-TAINERS Programme:-

 

• Prof. Sujeet Saundattikar. Professor of Engineering, at Institute of Textile Technology - DKTE, Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra, India. (About Train-The-Trainer Programme he went through.) (May 2006)

In the last semester, we had a one day workshop for the Students by Vasandani Sir. And at that time itself I was really fascinated by the way he took the GD and all that stuff. I had decided, and as I have been the field member, so on the same day after the session, we were just two of us sitting at I think the Guest House, and I asked him, "do you take similar Programmes for may be the professionals and all." And when he said yes, at the same instant I just decided that yes we have to go for it. And it is very great that all my colleagues and all they joined me. And I really tell you that this 5 days course was excellent. May be at this or may be at other place. Everything was really good. We really experienced a great variety - may be some GD, some Ex-tempore and all. And I think now everybody of us would be that much competent and to face any kind of situation. If you all know that, yes this is the thing, this we, we used to speak in that particular way, but we di dn't really know what those terms are. So it is clear today. Experience was really good for all of us. And just thanks for everything.

 

• Prof. Gopal Joshi, Professor of Engineering, at Institute of Textile Technology - DKTE, Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra, India. (About Train-The-Trainer Programme he went through.) (May 2006)

Everybody was given a format for activity in the vacation - what you are going to do in the vacation, compulsorily you have to do it. And then, Sujeet who is sitting here, immediate then same thing he has written. And immediately we had felt, even though the vacations are there, we were in enjoyment mood, but somehow on Friday, some expressions were there - why falling into this, why compulsion, like that.

But since Saturday we came over here, I can tell you how 5 days are gone and how the communication skills are, what are the points. We know all the points, but how to fit them in a proper manner, that was a very important thing. So the things can be given, by experience - we are all professors, we are going to give - OK , but how in a perfect manner, that we learnt from your course.

Remaining arrangements also you have made very nicely. And always I have seen you - never frustrated, always you were laughing, that was very nice thing which we have noticed. Because in a moment if anything is going to become panic. But I have never seen you in these 5 days - that you are becoming panic or something like that. So that was a very nice observation about you.

Thank you very much for arranging everything nicely.

 

• Prof. Suresh Bagi, Professor of Engineering, at Institute of Textile Technology - DKTE, Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra, India. (About Train-The-Trainer Programme he went through.) (May 2006)

Generally we all think that the Teachers are very strict. But I think, Mr. Vasandani is too jolly a person. And he taught the subject of communication skills in so friendly and so nice manner, that it had become a live session for 5 days.

I think we joined on Saturday. And Since Saturday morning, we are just laughing and learning the Communication Skills till today. I think it was very nice experience.

And personally speaking, I was quite afraid, I had told my deficiencies during first day. I think I have overcome those deficiencies in quite good manner. And I am quite confident that when I will be coming in front of Students, or some new people, I am sure that I will definitely perform better than what I was performing in earlier days. Thank you.

 

• Prof. Arvindkumar Sringeri, Professor of Engineering, at Institute of Textile Technology - DKTE, Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra, India. (About Train-The-Trainer Programme he went through.) (May 2006)

We have gone through 5 days course very nicely. Before coming to this course, what everyone was thinking was, similar to Gopi Sir has told. Whatever we were thinking was - we are in this line only. We had talked, that we don't need this kind of course. Only we need some theoretical background, and we were expecting that only. And our thinking has been changed completely. Because of that "Reverse Technology", what he has used. We had not at all thought of those things. So whatever technology he has used, that has changed us completely.

Before coming here, my difficulty was, that at a given instant, speaking without any preparation, That was actually my difficulty - without preparation, it was very much difficult for me to speak anything. But after few sessions, I got confident that I can speak on any matter, without much preparation, or never any preparation, that confidence I got after I have gone through this course.

And also about Group Discussion, I am very much exposed to that type of activity. Because even in my B.E., even in my study days, there wouldn't be any sessions like this. In our College, extra curricular activities, were not so popular, so there wouldn't be any activity of this kind. No body was exposed to this type of thing. Only we used to go for these things at the time of Interview directly. So that was a big problem in the Interviews, it was a very big problem to take part in Group Discussion activity. So that also helped me - how to behave, or how to become a leader in the group, or how to decide in that Group Discussion, to attract the Judge, to attract the Chairperson. So that thing helped me to improve. This course has helped me to improve on those two aspects.

So I am very much thankful to Vasandani Sir, to improve me a lot on those two aspects. It was a lot to me. Thankyou.

 

• Prof. Rajendra Patil, Professor of Engineering, at Institute of Textile Technology - DKTE, Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra, India. (About Train-The-Trainer Programme he went through.) (May 2006)

Dear Friends, I have attended many seminars and conferences, but in the valedictory function I have not talked. Today, I am talking for the first time - I mean at the valedictory function. These five days I enjoyed a lot and at the same time I learnt this - what is the communication. And what we learnt, I assure you Sir, definitely will improve our skills. And we will use it for our students.
