Vijayadashmi is a special festival day in the Hindu calendar which is a very auspicious day for starting a new form of learning.  Global Adjustments celebrated this year by starting something called Collective Wisdom.

In our training department, we are constantly trying to find ways to “upskill” young Indians to be prepared for the world.  Issues like showing initiative, business writing, summarizing information, and many other things discussed in Upworldly Mobile sometimes don’t come easy.   While we are passionate about seeing these skills instilled in young Indians, we also know that two heads are always better than one when it comes to the How.

Thus, we invited 10 thinkers to our India Immersion Centre to ask a few simple questions about one topic: Assertiveness.  Moderated by Mr. Eric Gossard of Hospira, we examined the idea of what assertiveness is, how it fits in the Indian culture, and how to teach it to people.  The event was extremely stimulating for those who attended: a mix of small business owners, students, trainers, professors and corporate heads.

As we continue to work towards making Global Citizens, it will take more than just one of us thinking.  At Global Adjustments, we know that we need to rely on our “extended family” to reach this goal.  Be on the lookout for more Collective Wisdom gatherings!
