HOW NOT TO BE A VAN GOGH AT WORK
Think About This..
Charles G
oodyear discovered vulcanized rubber. He revolutionized the tyre industry. Artist Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings sell for millions today and he has had enormous influence on art in the 20th Century.
Here is the most interesting part of their stories. Both Charles and Vincent died poor. The reason? They could not ‘sell’ the value of what they had. Great ideas or products do not ‘speak’ for themselves. You need to be able to communicate their value clearly.
Many managers and training departments face this problem. They bring in revolutionary change but, their contribution is not valued enough. They fall into the trap of expecting their work to speak for itself. Showcasing the value of your work is a simple process...
ANNOUNCE: Tell your seniors and colleagues about what you propose to do and how it will resolve a critical issue at work.
MEASURE &UPDATE: Use a concrete way of showing the results that will show the impact of your work.
Instead of saying “better” be specific and talk about ‘75% improvement’. Update people at frequent intervals
Remember, Great Work + Clear Communication = Guaranteed Success
CUSTOMER SPEAK
Amrita Saurabh Garg, Associate VP , Distribution Training, Bharti Axa Life Insurance:
"The content creation workshop was a huge hit with the team. There was a lot of ground to cover in a short period of 2 days but Ram handled it very well. The training session was invaluable. It was very informative and very well thought out and we were able to see how the concepts can be applied back at work for various programs.
Ram moved at a pace everyone was comfortable with and presented the material in a confident manner recapping the various concepts several times during the workshop. The part on Analogies and Games was specifically very useful and intriguing. Thanks Ram and Arte. You did make a difference."
Hemlata Nikam, Dty Manager Training, Sia Lifestyles:
When I started developing training content, it was a nightmare for me. However, the ‘Advanced Content Creation Workshop’ taught me a unique ‘Minimal Approach’ that helps develop content in simple and easy manner. Using of visuals and games really helped me make training more interactive and fun.
Now I enjoy working on content development. Thank you Ram and Arte for such a wonderful learning which I will cherish through out my life."
