"Effective Communication Strategies: Men and women@Work helped me to be a better leader. My interaction with Female staff members had
been very restricted which had created hinderances for me. The training has helped me to be effective in communicating with Women."
Avesh Shaikh (2009), Vice Presidnt, Citel India
“Good and effective communication skills can advance you socially. By making useful contacts one builds self confidence and develops
capabilities to help and lead others. 'Effective communication strategies: Men and Women @ work' is a well structured course and the
manner in which the faculty handled sessions by ensuring participation from every member, makes it very interesting. I cherish the memories
of course at IIMA.”
Aman Mehta (2008), Associate Vice President, Group External Relations Division, Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd., Gujarat
“Before attending the course, I never had a doubt that the communication course offered by IIMA would be one of the most rigorous and
beneficial courses I would ever attend. However, what came as a pleasant surprise was the benefits I garnered relating to other aspects
(about behaviour, about leadership and about analytical ability). The decision to attend the course is, no doubt, one of my better decisions!!
People often interpret communication as the medium when they are intentionally trying to convey a message and therefore try to improve
their effectiveness. However, a much less realised aspect of communication is the silence part of it. There are times when people don't
communicate (either because they are shy or are afraid or any other hinderance) or they don't realise that they have to communicate. The
programme helped my understanding in this aspect and has helped me in improving my work as well as my personal life.”
