FARIDAH
Background
Kumar obtained his Law degree from the University of London in 1991 and went on to do his Masters in Law in 1995 at University Malaya. Although he enjoyed lecturing in law which he started in 1991 at numerous private colleges, his true passion always has been in Human Potential and Development. Hence he launched himself into the realm of training and development in the year 2001 and he never looked back since.
In order to do justice to client’s time and expense, he ensures that all training programs that are prepared and conducted are done with utmost attention given to customization and suitability to client’s actual needs. He ensures practicality and so takes a very realistic approach to teaching. He understands the importance of keeping the class alive and exciting and so ensures participants do not just sit back and listen, but actually participate actively in thinking and in doing. His programs are constantly interjected with a generous dose of humor which is not only important for the participants, but also for him.
His main philosophy that cuts across all of his programs is the fact that:
Everything begins and ends with the individual
and this fact can never be compromised, no matter what. Hence, depending on the program, this message is incorporated appropriately and is sent across to the participant in such a way that they truly understand the full effect of it.
Since he is a fairly good artist, he creates images and pictures that have potent messages to facilitate his programs. This somehow seems to have a far greater impact on the participants rather than just looking at a bunch of words on the slides.
