The session with RamG was a resounding success. The learners absolutely loved the session and were extremely engaged all through the session. Their engagement levels were not just related to attention levels but also ran high at an emotional and psychological level. RamG drew the point of growth mindset home with élan topped with his own life’s story at the core.

Paddy Upton was super awesome. What an enthralling session it was. If time wasn’t a limitation, we could go on and on listening to him. The fantastic stories and anecdotes he brought from the world of cricket were super thrilling. His 5 keys to unlock one’s A-Game to bring one’s best self forward, undoubtedly was a brilliant session.
