CORPORATE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Selected organisations from Work Better Training’s corporate learning experience.
Swapnil effortlessly connected with his target audience. He achieved this by creating a feeling of “let’s work this out together”, rather than a “this is your problem, here’s the solution, now go implement it”. He is down-to-earth and approachable, keeping his communication style simple, real and pragmatic. He uses an interesting combination of intellectual stimulation, situational responses, in-class assessment and practical review to raise self-awareness and bring about a lasting change in the way we think/act.
Swapnil was able to easily connect and make us realise some fairly basic yet powerful things about ourselves, which, if tweaked just a little bit, could yield big results. Most of us retained and implemented the learnings from his session with very good results, not only for our own productivity and effectiveness, but for our hotel as a whole.
Swapnil has conducted several programs for the Mahindra Group in his inimitable high impact style and we are very happy with the results. He believes in cutting through the clutter and getting straight to what is really required to achieve breakthrough results. His workshops are a great blend of theory, practice, examples, exercises, reflections and action planning. The Work Better team ably supports him with strong follow-up activities to ensure retention and practice of the learning. I would strongly recommend that companies looking for a robust L&D intervention, partner with Swapnil and his team.
Swapnil has understood our business, our needs and the profile of our employees perfectly. Every program that he conducts is practical with ready to use solutions that participants have found extremely useful. Not only in facilitating the workshop but also in pre program understanding and post program support, he exudes a high degree of enthusiasm and energy. His passion for his work and his genuine interest in addressing participant’s challenges is evident. It has been an extremely enriching experience to work with Swapnil & Work Better Training.
Swapnil has a natural flair for training and ensures participant interaction during his sessions. The most important thing, I believe, is he brings credibility & comfort to the participants while discussing any topic. I have found my association with Work Better extremely fruitful and enlightening. There is an edge to partnering with Work Better Team for their simple yet innovative ways in which learning is made sustainable by the team; be it through the post-training snippets or sharing interesting articles.
Addressing Swapnil as a ‘trainer’ might not be justified – for he is a professional; who through his workshops, chariots each member in the audience towards self-realization.
He is one with and among his audience, on the similar platform: thus making one categorically understand that being a better individual is no uphill task but one must be willing, be aware of the tiniest of factors involved: be ready to accept and overcome shortcomings.
Using no great management ideals, Swapnil has expertise in conveying his message in a straight manner and simple to comprehend and imbibe – thus reaching out without imposing his thoughts - he takes you to a point of finesse and leaves it for you to decide your course.
I would also like to mention here that he is not alone but has the support and motivation from his entire team.
Our team stood to benefit immensely more so because he did not only preach but practised the same – which was evident in our association with him and his team right from the beginning.
Swapnil’s training workshops are creative, full of practical ideas and connect instantly with the audience. The post training reach out to the participants is also exemplary and helps them think and apply learning from the workshop to their jobs easily.
