"The Art of Saying No" ➡️ Since childhood we have learned that saying NO was impolite or inappropriate and were rarely allowed to say it to adults(exceptions might be). Therefore we have little or no practice of saying ‘NO’ ➡️ People say 'yes' to everything and then fail to deliver because they are overburdened. We need to understand that saying ‘NO’ is not a bad thing infact it shows our #confidence and #selfbelief. ➡️ Following are some ways to say “No” for working professionals at #workplace so that they don't hurt anyone and sound professional. 1. “I appreciate the opportunity, but my current workload is quite demanding. Can we revisit this at a later time?" 2. “Thank you for thinking of me. However, I have other commitments that I need to prioritize at the moment." 3. “I'm honored that you trust me with this task. Unfortunately, I have to decline due to conflicting priorities." 4. “ I value your confidence in my abilities. Regrettably, I'm unable to take on additional responsibilities right now." 5. "I've carefully considered your request, but I'm unable to commit to it given my current schedule”. 6. "I appreciate your understanding as I need to focus on my existing projects and commitments." 7. "I'm honored to be asked, but I have to decline as it doesn't align with my current professional goals." 8. "Thank you for thinking of me. I need to manage my workload effectively, and I'm unable to take on more at this time." 9. "I hope you understand that my plate is quite full at the moment, and I need to decline your request." 10. "I've evaluated my priorities, and unfortunately, I cannot take on additional tasks right now thank you for understanding." ➡️…..

#Time Management has always been one of my favourite topics to train working professionals and students ⏳🕰 ⚖️ Most of the times we are not aware where our time goes or how to #priortise our tasks. Hence the #stephencovey Time Management Matrix comes as the best tool at hand to understand time management. According to Covey, each task can be sorted to its urgency and importance. All in all, we have four categories of tasks. ⏳Quadrant 1: Important and Urgent (Do first) This quadrant covers unforeseen events and pressing problems. To avoid serious consequences, we have to deal with them immediately. Although some of these issues are unexpected, we can reduce the number of them by proper #planning. Sometimes it's just enough to work on them proactively - before they have become urgent (see Q2). Pro tip: Priortise urgent tasks over Important tasks. ⏳Quadrant 2: Important and Not Urgent (Schedule) As tasks in this quadrant are not urgent, we might put them off for ages. Yet this is the worst mistake we could make. Ideally, this is the quadrant where you should spend most of your time: working on strategic, high-impact tasks. They will bring more value to your business - but also help you grow personally and Professionally. Time not managed properly in Q2 will take you in Q1 Pro tip: Avoid #procrastination. ⏳Quadrant 3: Not Important and Urgent (Delegate) Some tasks keep you constantly busy, but don't move you forward. They just distract you from your key goals. Although it's impossible to avoid these issues entirely, you should try to reduce their number: for instance, by delegating them to someone else on your team. If it is impossible to delegate, consider doing smaller tasks in batches. Pro tip: Sometimes we need to say “NO” ⏳Quadrant 4: Not Important and Not Urgent( Eliminate) These tasks are neither important nor urgent. Small amounts of trivial activities help us relax. Yet we tend to waste a lot of time in this quadrant, so be careful: you are losing the present moment. Pro tip: Cut activities from Q4 so that you have enough time for Q2(as Q2 is the ideal place) Share your thoughts 👩🏻🏫 Comment below your favourite Quadrant. #timemanagement #workingprofessionals #students #urgency #stephencovey

I normally don’t share my training experiences but this is a kind of special to me. #Crompton Greaves How and why???👇🏻 When I got a call the first question was asked “Can you conduct Six Thinking Hats training in Marathi for our Blue collared employees”? And the age group is 40’s and 50’s”? I said “I have not conducted training in Marathi but I will conduct and give my best”. And trust me this is one of the most memorable training which I have conducted till date. Yes, it was in Marathi that too for the first time like 80% Marathi and 20% English. As the participants were in 40’s and 50’s blue collared employees I planned it accordingly. The training was all about #experientiallearning. There were lot of activities, role plays, case studies, stories, audio videos, #brainstorming #groupdiscussions and much more. Each and everyone participated(even the ones who were not partipative). There was actually a time when they have almost forgotten about their lunch and tea break 😅 #Thesixthinkinghats is a method developed by Edward de Bono, a renowned psychologist and creativity expert. It is a tool used for group discussion and #decisionmaking, aimed at encouraging #parallelthinking and considering multiple perspectives. Each "thinking hat" represents a different mode of thinking. P.S: Pls check the pictures and the feedback at the end which was shared and posted on Facebook by the #hrmanager of Crompton Greaves My learnings: let’s adapt “Jaisa Desh Waisa Bhes” 😊 Comment Your views on this training 👇🏻😊

Many a times I come across texts and chats which talks about their business/profession however the irony is most of the texts found are just random or not professional. The end result is either I delete the message or block the sender(I guess most of us does the same thing) Hence this post is for people who continuously chat or text looking for business or services. 📈👩🏻💼👨🏻💼 Professional chat communication refers to the way individuals or teams interact with each other using chat platforms in a professional or workplace setting. It involves effectively conveying messages, collaborating, and building professional relationships through written conversations. Here are some tips and tricks for successful professional chat communication: ✅ Proper etiquette: Maintain a professional tone, be polite, and use appropriate language. Avoid using excessive jargon or slang that may not be understood by everyone. ✅ Be clear and concise: Chat messages should be brief and to the point. Clearly state your message or question to avoid confusion or misinterpretation. ✅ Use proper grammar and punctuation: While chat communication is often more casual than formal writing, it's important to use correct grammar and punctuation to ensure clarity and professionalism. ✅ Be mindful of your tone: Text-based communication can sometimes be misinterpreted, so be mindful of the tone of your messages. ✅ Respond promptly: In a chat environment, people expect relatively quick responses. Try to respond in a timely manner to show respect for others' time. ✅ Use formatting effectively: Utilize formatting options such as bullet points, headings, or bold/italic text to highlight important information and make your messages easier ✅ Proofread before sending: Take a moment to review your message for any errors or typos before hitting the send button. This helps maintain professionalism and prevents misunderstandings. ✅ Respect privacy and confidentiality: Be mindful of sensitive information and avoid sharing it in chat conversations unless it's necessary and appropriate. ✅ Use chat features effectively: Familiarize yourself with the features of your chat platform, such as file sharing, screen sharing, or video calls. Utilize these tools when appropriate to enhance collaboration and communication. ✅ Be mindful of cultural differences: In a diverse workplace, people may have different cultural backgrounds and communication. ✅ Avoid multitasking during chats: When engaging in a professional chat, give your full attention to the conversation. Avoid multitasking or being distracted by other activities. ✅ Use group chats wisely: Group chats can be useful for collaboration and teamwork but be mindful of their purpose. Keep discussions relevant and avoid unnecessary or off-topic messages that may disrupt productivity.

Growing up I did not know that it is so very important to “show confidence at work place”. Being a shy and introvert it was always a challenge for me to “Show Up” during important meetings and discussions. 🙌🏻🏆 Here are some tips which I followed to demonstrate my #confidence in #professional settings during #meetings and #discussions . ➡️Preparation: Come prepared by researching the topic of discussion, understanding the agenda, and anticipating potential questions. ➡️ Body language: Pay attention to your body language as it can convey confidence or nervousness. Maintain good posture, eye contact, and avoid fidgeting or slouching. ➡️ Speaking clearly and assertively: Speak with a clear and audible voice, avoiding mumbling or speaking too softly. Use #assertive language and avoid tentative or apologetic phrases. ➡️ #Active listening: Show confidence by actively listening to othersopinions and ideas. Maintain eye contact, nod in agreement, and provide thoughtful responses. Engaging in active listening demonstrates that you value others' contributions and fosters a collaborative environment. ➡️ Positive self-talk: Prior to the meeting, engage in positive self-talk to boost your confidence. Remind yourself of your #skills, knowledge, and past achievements. Focus on your strengths and maintain a positive mindset. ➡️ Stay calm under pressure: #meetings and discussions can sometimes become intense or challenging. Practice techniques to stay calm, such as deep breathing or taking a moment to gather your thoughts before responding. ➡️ Share relevant experiences: Draw on your past experiences or successes to support your points during discussions. Sharing relevant examples or case studies can bolster your confidence and demonstrate your expertise in the subject matter. ➡️ Be #concise and to the point: When expressing your ideas, strive for clarity and brevity. Deliver your message in a concise manner, avoiding unnecessary jargon or complex language. ➡️ Ask questions and seek clarification: Confident individuals are not afraid to ask questions or seek clarification when needed. This demonstrates a genuine interest in the #discussion and a desire to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the topic. ➡️ Practice and build expertise: Continuously enhance your knowledge and skills related to your field of work. The more you know, the more confident you'll feel when discussing relevant topics. All the above major points has helped me a lot as well as my learners. Remember one thing that building confidence is a gradual process, and it takes time and practice. Be patient with yourself and celebrate your progress along the way. 🙌🏻🏆 Which point amongst the above do you like or follow? #confidence #personalitydevelopment #businessmeetings #corporatecommunications #worklife #workingprofessionals #softskillstraining #imagemanagement
