Suhas Talwar can challenge, inspire, motivate and dare you to rediscover yourself

10:12 AM Posted by ukmad

In my endeavor to bring forth talent from Belgaum to the fore front here is just one more attempt.



Suhas Talwar is from Belgaum and was in Belgaum till his education and also afterwards and then went into this field of Training.


“It's Not The Chances We Take; It's The Choices We Make, That Determines Our Destiny.”



Suhas Talwar has an experience of 10 years working in various fields across all the levels of organizations. His passion and the calling for facilitation transited his career into the world of facilitation. Working with diverse teams and organizations over a period of time has given him an unique insight into understanding human performance and its variables. He has an unique ability to inspire, motivate, challenge and make people laugh at the same time. In addition to his capability to manage Soft Skills Training function, he has trained a variety of audience ranging from Executives to Managers on varied subjects. He has had the privilege to work and learn from some of the most successful people. He is absolutely committed and is result oriented. He believes in helping people create positive changes and produce measurable results by taking massive action.


Through his work we believe in creating your best life – whatever that may mean to you. It is about learning to do things in a different way, to create different results and making a permanent positive change in every area of your life. A lot of us have under achieved and wasted our potential for too long. In our workshops which are confronting, eye-opening and a lot of fun, Suhas will challenge, inspire, motivate and dare you to rediscover yourself.


 What is that you exactly do?


I am a facilitator, educator and coach. I help people realize there true potential and create a best life for people through training programs and one-to-one coaching sessions.






 You have workshops on specific issues or in general, motivation?


We conduct a range of programs addressing various topics. A list of the programs is mentioned below. The programs are conducted both in-house and at a location you choose us to conduct.


• Communication and interpersonal skills.


• Soft skills


• Accent Neutralization


• Personality Development


• Cultural sensitivity


• Behavioral


• Analytical skills


• Team building


• Effective listening skills


• Presentation skills


• Leadership


• Motivation


• Influence


• Customer delight


• Time management


• Change management


• Campus to corporate






Some of the open programs that we conduct are:


• Making powerful presentations – A two day intense workshop


• Embracing Change – A half day workshop.


• The Power Within – One day workshop


• Communication – The Lifeline - A two day workshop






 You basically interact with the employees of a company and teach them how they could contribute to the company more effectively?


We work on the method; analyze, plan and deliver. We first meet the concerned people and understand the issues. We then meet the participants/employees of the organization and understand from them how they feel about the situation (issues). We then develop a customized program for them so that they can relate to it and hence help them to realize what they can do to eradicate the problem and enhance productivity joyfully at the workplace.


We also provide one-to-one coaching services to supervisors, senior executives and managers of organizations.


 What is the basic use of the training you give?


The use of my training is like the use of any other thing. I share tools and strategies with people who want to be successful. I teach people that they are the solutions to the problems and they are the problem too. If you implement what you understand from my programs it’s life changing (better of course) and if not implemented it’s a waste. It’s like an degree which when used can be very powerful and if not is just a piece of paper.






 Why have you chosen this field?


I have worked in various fields before I finally got into facilitation. I have always had this urge to understand human behavior and help people in some way possible. This passion of knowing what makes the difference in human performance lead me into the world of personal growth and facilitation. I have worked at a garment store, a medical transcriptionist, a manager at a call center and then with a couple of training organizations thus gaining rich experience and exposure by working at various levels across organizations. The primary reason to choose this field is the passion to understand human performance and help people to live a better life.


 How many employees help you in this?


I am supported by 3 people at this time and have a pool of consultant trainers who are associated with us. It is an ecosystem that we believe in.


 Where have your workshops being held? Name a few


We have conducted most of our workshops in Pune. However, we have also conducted some programs in Mumbai and Bangalore. Most of these programs were conducted for corporates’ like IBM, Infosys, Compulink, Option one, Forbes Marshalls and a few others.


 Where did you get your training done in this field?


I have been trained by some of the best trainers in the country. I was initially trained by Mr. Mitesh Khatri of GLC and then by Mr. Kirron Gulrajani of Eternale learning for behavioral skills and leadership. I am also trained by Ms. Aparna Prabhudesai for accent neutralization and cultural sensitivity. A list of programs I have attended and trained for are as below.


• Time management program


• Silva mind control


• Silva life systems


• The millionaire blue print – Arfeen Khan


• Open space technology.


• Counseling skills


• The tao of facilitation – Kiran Gulrajani


• Accent neutralization – Aparna Prabhudesai


• Leadership training – Kiran Gulrajani






 So you travel a lot to different cities or is it you have a school?


We do have an office where we train people at the same time we also travel to any place where we need to help people and organizations through our training.


 Where was your preliminary education?


I completed my diploma in civil engineering from government polytechnic, Belgaum after completing my schooling at St. Paul’s High School, Belgaum.


 How and what was the response from your family when u said you will go into this field?


Well I did not tell my parents about me taking this path. My wife has stood by me all the time, strong like a pillar. My parents have always let me do what I have wanted to do, I have been lucky in this area.


 You worked in a garment store, then a call centre. So that must have been hard times for you?


I would not say that the road was a bed of roses. I did face a lot of problems and this is where I learnt my valuable lessons from. I share a lot of my experiences in my programs and help people to relate it to situations in their lives and it is not very difficult to overcome them.


 What motivates you to motivate others?


I have shared with you that it’s my passion to understand human performance and this motivates me to help see others in their peak state, psychologically and physiologically.


 Do you do this for only corporate or also try it for college students or even school going kids?


I conduct programs for corporate and for anyone who wants to live an extraordinary life, anyone who wants to live a life of design and not a life of chance. I do conduct special programs for students. I am thinking of a program for school kids though which I will start early next year (2009).


 Have you planned any program in Belgaum?


I will conduct my first program in Belgaum in January and I hope to meet and make an impact on the enthusiastic people.


Disclaimer: I have known Suhas since school, as he was in my batch. I am again and again reiterating that I am here to get people like Suhas known to the world.

Founder of the Indian Mujahideen visited Belgaum



The alleged founder of the Indian Mujahideen, Roshan Khan alias Riyaz Bhatkal, one of the most wanted terror suspects, has reportedly visited Belgaum recently.


He visited the city with the name of “Sharukh Khan” for a short period. During his visit to the city, he reportedly met a few arrested terror suspects at Hindalga Jail by camouflaging his identity.


Bhatkal has a committed team of hardcore men in Karnataka. He is now known as Sharukh Khan to hide his original identity and has a good network in Belgaum, Bijapur, Hubli and Bhatkal.

Former Indian skipper Anil Kumble will be in Belgaum on Saturday 13th December for the Annual convocation of the J N Medical College.

Belgaum Rotary’s Annotsav 2008 tickling taste buds

10:13 PM Posted by ukmad

The Rotary club of Belgaum organizes the Annual event Annotsav from the past many years. This time the fete is organized at Sardars High School Ground, opp Old REX College Road.
 
About 105 different stalls serving various delicacies are there to give those old taste buds some rejuvenating flavor.  Right from Pani puri, ice cream to Vada Kombda, Bhaji etc.
 
You have to be there and enjoy the lovely atmosphere while your nostrils fetch some nice aroma of a Tandoor or a Biryani. All the major hotels like Niyaz, Zaika have their stalls. In addition, some very good homemade food is available which is great.
Also see in the image VOTE FOR VAYAVYA LABS is the main banner behind the live show. So Belagum is now getting much more aware about getting Belgaum on the IT map.
 
In addition, there are the car stalls, solar water stalls etc etc etc.
Again, the live music shows and various competitions held during the fete are a topping on the cream.
Parking facility is good enough, but I point I noticed was lack of security. After the Mumbai terror attacks something must have been put in place, but I could hardly see two police officers that too on the main road entrance and no one else. May be some other security arrangements should have been done, I am not aware of it. But it feels secure enough to roam about with your family and kids seeing all those new food being made and enjoying the atmosphere. The entry fee is Rs.5.
 
The fete, which opened on 7 Dec, will be open until 14 December 2008. So, if you are in town in that period you know one dinner is fixed at some stall in there.

Chinese army men ready with Mohabbatein, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna in Belgaum

3:41 PM Posted by ukmad

WHERE diplomacy fails, Bollywood usually takes over. There has been no exception even with the piquant Chinese.

Chinese soldiers who have come to Belgaum for a week's joint military exercise with the Indian army cannot stop humming songs from Shah Rukh Khan movies like Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Mohabbatein.

The 137 infantry toughies from China have in fact collectively memorised the entire Mohabbatein number 'Aankhein khuli ho ya ho bandh' along with the Indian national anthem, and have been regaling the Indian side with some memorable renditions over raucously cheerful and backslapping dinners.

At last Big Cinemas to open today

11:54 AM Posted by ukmad

The wait for so many years is over; the Big cinemas in Nucleus Mall will be opened by Mr.Prabhakar Kore MP today evening at 6.30pm. It will be open to public from this Friday with Rab ne bana de Jodi with an inaugural offer of Rs.60/ticket.

This is just a formal opening of the mall and Big Cinemas.
Big cinemas have two screens in here named KAPEEL -1 and KAPEEL -2, after the earlier Kapeel theatre on which this whole mall is built. There is space for about 55 cars and about 250 two wheelers for parking, which is obviously paid.

The interiors are very similar to all those others in metros with anti fire mats, 4 way surround sound etc.

The mall is still not working, only big Cinemas will commence all others have to take up their space yet and mostly the ground floor is being taken up by leading foreign footwear brands and watch brands.

This first weekend for Big cinemas is going to be a great treat for all, them and as well as Belgaumites. Now we don’t have to go to Mumbai or Bangalore, ‘Apne he shaer mein hain na’.
