Hi Neelam,
Hey, don't give up...that's the tradegy with us -(HR Professionals) - we give up easily..don;t have the aggressiveness or smart thinking followed by Marketing professionals..that's why they are worth every booty they get. :D :D
All of the above!!..
First make your proposal with emphasis on " Value Proposition"
Send them by email or by courier
Follow up and follow up..
Neelam, let me be honest..even i went through this grind..had approached as many as 25 B-schools in Pune..but no luck.. :( ..can be pretty depressing esp when you have set your heart out..at this stage ..always remember even the great /successful people have struggled a lot for their vision ..for somethng they beleived in themselves..which i did..therefore my 54th call on a B-school gave me an opportunity at Sadhna Centre for Management (SCMLD - Pune)..my first workshop On Creativity taught me a lot and confidence..today if i lose my job or my company closes down i would be able to fend for myself.. :D
So, prepare yourself well and try..the whole world is open.. :)
To further add to my opinion am sharing an article on a perspective on life at the end of this..
Best of Luck on a wonderful Journey..
Cheers,
Rajat Joshi
Hi CV,
Please call me Rajat.. :)
How do you know that?.. :D ..thanks for your compliments..
Wow..am really impressed with your thought process..
You are right that its not age that counts but your knowledge and the passion one brings into the session..
I remember for the one of the class at B-school..the students were expecting that the old N experienced..matured with the profile of retired guy n were shocked n surprised when i walked into the class.. :D ..
Right age..is in your mind..as when you think you have the experience, knowledge n more importantly PASSION..
The topics depends on you as what you are really comfortable with..n how much efforts and notes one makes on the subject on latest trends n techniques..
For instance on lateral thinking - i update myself on new trends n techniques..and keep making changes in my ppt. to make it further innovative based on the feedback of the participants..you can refer these under Lateral thinking & Creativity column in Organizational Development..
Please refer my response to Neelam..
Best of Luck...

ANOTHER WAY OF LOOKING AT LIFE.......
Author : Unknown
Day in and day out you will read articles that will help you get
better and better in the Game of LIfe.
Truly speaking life is not complicated as it appears or made to
appear.
Life really is like a movie - where you are the script writer, the
director, the actor, the critic. And like all movies it ends, with
you. What is important in life is not just the journey, but
the "quality" of it.
You must remember that you are not the only one in this "movie".
Everyone in this world is in a movie of their own. To make your movie
a success you have to link up with the other, as you can't succeed
alone. Every success story is a story of working together, each one
contributing his/her unique talent, skills and abilities. Do what you
know best and let others fill in the gaps.
Perseverance always pays. You can't fail if you don't quit. Find all
other ways to make a thing work.
As Winston Churchill said in Britain's darkest hour,
" Never, never, never ever give up ".
If you don't like where you are today, don't expect your tomorrow to
be any different, unless you have worked heart and soul for a change.
Change your attitude, your priorities, your activities, change from
being reactive to proactive, change from being reactive to creative.
You are the product of your thoughts. It is true that the "thoughts
are things". whatever you think about most of the time is what you
will create in your life.
Hint: If you want more than you think what you have now, don't "ever"
spend any energy to the thoughts of the lack.
You will receive what you give. If you want help try to be helpful.
If you want honest relationships, be truthful. If you want success,
help others get what they want. If you want love, be loving. the
corollary is you will always find what you are looking for.
Take time each day from the hectic routine, to center it on you -
even if it is a meager 45 – 60 minutes. Some people may also call it
meditation, but the idea is to check with your inner self if you are
on course to what you want. It is inventory taking on a daily basis.
That's why it is important to make "every" day the best as you can
make it to be, because it the "now" which is all what you have.
What the heck? Life is meant to be enjoyed, because none of us are
going to remain forever, why all these hassles you may say. I agree
with you entirely, yet, I might suggest that you look into whatever
is said here, to make your life a little more worthwhile.
Happiness Is An Inside Job
I am delighted when some people are finally disillusioned. Over the
course of thirty plus years of working, I have seen more than my
share of people who have acquired mountains of material possessions
but remain miserable, depressed, angry, unsatisfied, and sometimes,
desperate.
In many of those cases, their disillusion is a hopeful sign because
disillusion literally means then end of illusionment. If a person has
been living under the illusion that happiness would come from having
whatever they wanted, then the end of that illusion brings the
possibility that they might realize that happiness actually means
wanting what they already have; being free from the desire to
acquire.
Hunger is the body's signal to take in food. Thirst signals the need
to take in water. Fatigue is nature's way of telling us to take a
rest. The remedy for neglect of the body is often through the in-take
of something, so the solution lies in getting something from the
external world. On the other hand, there is a kind of unhappiness
that cannot be repaired by getting because it requires giving. There
is a kind of dissatisfaction, disappointment, and absence of joy that
is remedied by giving something out, doing something for others.
Happiness, the feeling of deep-down joy of life, and feeling really
good about yourself, comes not from acquiring, but by contributing.
Serenity comes from getting on good terms with one's imperfection,
accepting ones' limitations, and accepting what one cannot change.
Self-esteem, your true worth or value, is not measured by your
financial statement, job title, or trophies on a shelf. You are
precious because you are a creation of the highest order of
intelligence. If you forget the true source of your preciousness,
eventually you will experience an emptiness, a gnawing hunger. There
are not enough gold, jewels, cellular phones, sport-utility vehicles,
big-screen TVs, or anything material to nourish the soul. The spirit
can only be filled by giving, not by getting.
Happiness is an inside job that consists of
you becoming disillusioned that material acquisition is a measure of
your worth
you remembering who you really are (precious)
you finding your source
you laughing often
you serving with love
The ABC's of Happiness(unknown source)
Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits.
Believe in yourself.
Consider things from every angle.
Don't postpone joy!
Enjoy today. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a
gift,
that's why it's called the present.
Family and friends are hidden treasures.
Give up any anger you might have been hanging on to, but
Happiness is like perfume: you can't sprinkle it on others without
getting some on yourself.
Ignore those who try to discourage you.
Jolly + jovial + jestful = joyful!
Keep on learning. Learn something new each day.
Look for humor in everyday situations.
Make smiles happen.
Never lie, cheat, or steal. Always strike a fair deal.
Open your eyes, and see the beauty in all of nature.
Play. You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old
because you stop playing.
Quiet times give us balance.
Read, study and learn about something new every day.
Stop and smell the roses.
Take control of what you can; let God have the rest.
Understand others first, then seek to be understood.
Visualize happy memories.
Work at making others happy.
X-ercise your right to be unique.
Yearn for internal strengths
Zero in on laughter and go for it!
