Dealing with failure: The cases of suicides and depression amongstyoungsters have been increasing as they are unable to cope up with theexpectations of the current system around them. This is an alarming situation.It is critical for youngsters to understand the importance of failures as steppingstones to success in life.
Dealing with Criticism
Dealing with criticism: Today, youth is becoming more andmore defensive to criticism that comes from their teachers,parents or from people around them. Most of the times, theyeither go into a depression or they fight back with aggression.
Thus it is very important for youth to learn how to deal withcriticism and convert it into positive influence for their lives.

What type ofeducation to pursue, what career tochose, what kind of job is to be takenup etc. are the questions that plaguemany young minds. It’s important toform a thought process which helpsyouth set goals in their lives.
Time Management
Time management: While youngsters these days are juggling a lot of differentthings in their lives these days at a very early age, most of them get lost in theprocess of getting their priorities right and managing time well. This causes a lot ofproblems and we have seen that even though students have been doing well intheir school education they lose out on opportunities of competitive exams orpursuing a different path in field of sports, art etc. Thus proper management of timeis critical for their success in life.
Practicing Initiative & Leadership: We can seethat majority of the youngsters are hesitant intaking initiative and leadership roles. Throughour innovative techniques and fear removalmechanism we will ensure that takinginitiatives and leadership roles comes naturallyto them.

Case Study Methodology
GD/Interview preparation
Public Speaking
Case Study MethodologyCase study methodology: During school education we have seen thatstudents learn that for every problem there is one solution but it is veryimportant for them to learn that in real life there are various perspectives toa problem; they will have various choices for any decision and that theyneed to chose the right one that creates a win-win situation. The case studymethodology will be used to give them an exposure of the situations theymay come across and decisions that they will need to make.
GD/Interview preparation: After school, there are various graduation programthat conduct GD/Interview process as selection criteria. For a student, who hasnever been exposed to this process, it is very difficult to do well in thisselection criteria. Thus the students need proper exposure and training forgroup discussions and interviews.
GD/Interview Preparation
Pubic Speaking: One of the biggest human fear. It has been commonlyobserved that only a few students are effective public speakers in their schooldays. Beyond school life, public speaking becomes very important foryoungsters and many times it is one of the differentiating factors betweensuccess and failure whether it is selection procedures or job promotions.
