Workshop on Motivation and Leadership

“Together everyone achieves more”

The placement cell under the guidance of  Mr Peter Brian Benjamin,Assistant Professor organized a one day placement workshop on the following topics: Connectivity & Inter-connectivity, Organizational culture, Conflict & Stress Management and Being selective for success.

Mr. Arun John Mathais, an energetic personality was the spokesperson for the day. He had the charm in him to capture the audience and have an everlasting impact on our lives.



In the morning session Mr. Arun spoke on Connectivity & Inter-connectivity. It means “if you want something you never had, you must be willing to do something you have never done before.” And hence “all you do is all you have done, is all you get what you have got.” The next session was on Organizational culture which is referred to as the DNA of an organization. The individual’s DNA should gel with the organizational DNA and only then the talent can be acquired and retained.

In the post lunch session on Conflict & Stress Management, he elaborated on the causes of conflicts, the ways to resolve them and the means through which we can manage stress. The last session was on being selective for success in which he spoke about time management and its importance in our work environment.
All good things do come to an end but the goodness of good things lasts a lifetime. It is good to build rather than learn and relearn.

Ms. Lin Pinto, 3rd Sem-MBA welcomed the gathering. We invoked god’s blessings through a prayer song led by Mr. Lanston Pinto and the choir members. The sessions were very educative as the spokesperson used his personal experiences as examples for various situations and interacted with the audience by answering all the quality queries. The session ended with the vote of thanks proposed by Mr. Martin D’souza, 3rd Sem-MBA.

The session helped us to explore alternate methods and ways to deal more effectively with the problems that would be coming our way in the corporate world.
