Generally, I suggest that one should get into customer facing sales job for at least few months and that helps the person to come out of the shell and speak to strangers confidentially. From my last few years of training career, I would also suggest, a person has to take up training/coaching as a career for a few months at least. What I have learnt / What I have become in the last few years of training/coaching? (1) Conscious learning has helped me to upskill myself (2) I have become better with my empathy skill (3) As I connect with people from various domain and industry like IT, ITES, Construction, Oil & Gas, Power Station, Telecom etc., I am able to expand my knowledge in those industries as well on how they operate. I am happy and excited to have shifted my career!!! Thanks to the universal power which knows what to give me and when to give me!!!
