2. EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Dear Colleagues,
Nutshell Forum is pleased to bring to you Experiential Learning, a set of
different training workshops based on participants' own occurrences.
Experiential learning helps individuals to generate understanding and transfer
knowledge in a manner different from the traditional instructive method of
training where trainers simply transfer knowledge upon trainees. Experiential
learning allows participants to engage their own experiences and reflect upon
those experiences to further synthesize and analyze information. Such skills are
integral for problem based learning and engaging twenty-first century skills.
In a 'learning by doing' atmosphere individuals can strengthen their skills in a
meaningful way that helps to promote life-long learners. Experiential learning
can take on different forms, as a solo activity or as a collaborative effort. In a
collaborative environment team members not only learn more about
themselves and their skills, but those of others as well.
Experiential learning is a highly effective training method. It engages the learner
at a more personal level by addressing the needs and wants of the individual.
Simple games, such as helium stick, can teach many valuable academic and
social skills, like team management, communication, and leadership. The reason
why games are popular as experiential learning techniques is because of the
"fun factor" - learning through fun helps the learner to retain the knowledge for
a longer period.
Registration for these workshops is open now and we would request you to
kindly send in your registration as early as possible to ensure a place for your
business.
Sincerely,
Muhammad Azfar Ahsan
Chief Executive Officer
Nutshell Forum
3. EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Meet Your
Course Expert:
Mansoor Ahmed Soomro, a Customer Service
veteran of over 15 years is a firm believer in the
adage 'if you do not treat your customers well, then
your competitors will'.
Customer Service is all about FEELINGS. Feelings of
hurt and betrayal. This is what customers feel when
they feel that you are more concerned with the
sale, rather than the service.
He advises firms that in these recessionary times it
is far more important to keep satisfied customers,
even if there are far lower in numbers, then trying
to make a fast buck. After all, your customers are
not the only ones taking an interest in you. Your
competitors are also doing the same.
And, who better to know it all Mansoor – an expert
who has been associated with some of the top
brands of companies, such as Unilever Pakistan,
GSK, P&G, Reckitt Benckiser, Coca Cola, Pakistan
Tobacco, Shell Pakistan and Engro Fertilizers
(Formerly Engro Chemicals) etc.
A highly motivated and detailed-oriented
professional and passionate corporate speaker,
Mansoor is a certified Customer Service Trainer
from Centre for Customer Care, Malaysia, and a
Certified Practitioner in Neuro-linguistics
Programming from NF-NLP, USA. He regularly
conducts trainings on Customer Service, Leadership
and Management Skills and Sales. His area of
expertise lies in Emotional Intelligence (EQ), Team
Building, Quality Service, CSP, Effective
Communication, BHPSO, and TTMISL.
