Welcome back to my Blogs

My blogging has not been as regular as it should have been. I have randomly shared my thoughts as I came across them. There’s so much that I would like to share, but I have not sat down to plan and prepare my blogs. I was sure that I would not start till I had prepared a few blogs to keep posting in a regular fashion. Now that I feel I am ready, I am sharing my intent to start blogging in a regular manner.

What will be my theme that I will be sharing? The first and foremost would be my experience in my life call which God gave me. God taught me how to reduce poverty, and I will share my experiences in that journey.

Educating, training, coaching and to some extent mentoring have been the other part of my life journey. I would draw from my experiences in this area of human resource development or capacity development of individuals.

Even within education, giving knowledge, skills and attitudes in the process of behaviour change, the process of communication involved in such changes is another valuable area of expertise. There are valuable experiences in this area of work, which I would like to share. We call it Behaviour Change Communication.

There are some managerial and leadership skills that I have learnt both in my training at Johns Hopkins and in life experiences as well. If groups of readers could get together, it would be possible to teach online.

This is not intended to be a one-way communication. I would value critical feedback. These could be asking questions or requesting more information.

The other aspect would be for you to share this with like-minded friends and acquaintances who might value this equally.

I look forward to hearing from you through your thoughts in the comments section.
