This training game for Business Communication I designed several hours ago and implemented in the LSPT class in Incisive Indore.
OK, you might hardly be acquainted with two following terms:
LSPT – Leadership Skills & Personality Development Training. Attendants: bachelors, masters’ students, young professionals.
Incisive Indore – Human Resource Training Enterprise, a training centre located in Indore, Central India.
I’m willing to share this training game with everyone who is willing to innovate around, think and perform on the spot and learn non-stop together with students whatever the age. Please use it for your benefit and for the sake of your personal and professional growth, I AM happy to contribute. You can make me even happier by posting your feedback, activity’s outcomes, surprising happenings during the game flow. Just comment or contact me.
This training game will say no new word in educational science. The game’s design is based on my corporate experience, knowledge of other training games for various age groups / education levels, basic understanding of social psychology, global and local markets structure, human nature and Indian specifics.
