Hi, I am person having overall experience of 23 years ( 19 years + 4 years). I have into corporate since the beginning of my career till 2020, when I was on a forced break. Post that things have not been good. Initial 2 years as software developer(contractual). I have been into a junior profile (Executive/Sr Executive) in BPO and Telecom for sometime ( 5.5 yrs), where I learnt a lot about office operations and working. Joined a conglomerate where I grew up from Executive to a Dept Head (Chief Mgr) worked for almost 8.5 yrs (CTC - 14L). Then to a BPO /KPO for a period of 1.5 yrs as Business Head - VP Operations (ctc- 18L). 20 months with startups as a mentor and a senior member (VP rank), helping them with office and backend operations - HR/Admin/Trg/ Vendor Mgmt, Call centre Ops, etc. (ctc- 10.4L). Most of my roles are customer mgmt and customer excellence based, where either i am resolving their issues or interesting with them for new business as operations lead (non sales profile). I feel i am a good mentor but a soft team lead. Educationally I am a management (MBA) professional. Last 5 years have been tumultuous with mostly freelancing opportunities (minimal) to sustain (2L- 3L). I did get two assignments, one was too low(ctc-2.3L) and other was slightly better(ctc- 8.5L); but lost both in a short span as could not cope with them. Surprisingly both were customer facing (knowledge transfers and handover in both co's were suspicious as till my last day I cud'nt understand my role and package offered), I could manage it. I need suggestion what should I do to be in the job market; any courses, suggestions, ideas all are welcome. Any therapy required do suggest.
Ans: One option would be to contact recruitment agencies and see what type of openings are present with your type of experience and if any courses are to be done can do so. As you have worked in a startup, can try to get a job there. Try to connect to your former colleagues and check openings in the organisation they are working.

Hi Mam, Hope you are doing well. I am very worried about my son who is now 12.5 years old and studying in 7th standard in a very reputed school. Since childhood, he has no interest in studies, unless we doesn't seat in front of him, he doesn't study. Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class and the result is he doesn't get good marks in the exam. When we scold him for studies, he does it for that particular time only and then get back to his non-interest mode again and start to run from studies. He will play video games, goes to play around with his friends, he will find some or the other reason for not doing studies or homework. The irony is that he is not interested in any sports or any other kind of activities. In every summer holidays, we make him to join some sports or music classes, but there also he doesn't show interest and do things just for the sake of showing. From last year, we have started sending him to tuitions also, but no change in attitude. This year we have found a teacher of his reputed school who is retired and taking tuitions, we are sending him to her and she is charging a big amount for tuitions. please guide how can we change his attitude and make him more serious in any activity he does as he doesn't have interest in anything (we have observed doing everything we can).
Ans: Hello Sunil!!

I am doing great, thank you for asking, God bless you!

I can totally understand when you say you are worried.

Your son is 12.5, he will soon be a teenager. There will be different challenges, I want you to read up on parenting a teenager and be ready to handle him well.

The problem as I see it is that everyone of you, his teachers included have made studies like a burden for him.... and subjected the young child to a lot of anxiety, he just wants to run away form it....
"Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class".... this statement of yours... it is the teacher's duty to ensure the child listens to him/her, how can she start labeling a child like this. From a young age your son has been conditioned to believe that he is not not good in studies, he doesn't focus and he doesn't sit in one place. All my sympathies are with your son...every child comes with immense potential and it's our duty as parents and teachers to nurture the child.

The following is what I propose so that we bring him back to loving to learn ( not score marks, that should never be the barometer)-
1. Love your child the way he is now
2. Give him lot of positive strokes
3. Have one on one sessions for any activity you plan for him... let him choose the activity, empower him
4. choose a teacher, who can get along with him and help him develop a positive attitude towards studies and life in general
5. look for a school where they nurture him... not just a reputed one...less number of students and a teacher who is invested in her/ his students,

If you can connect with me, I can help him. Have had many a students in this kind situation.
