6. Approach to Training
Challenges:
Indian audiences like more
activities like role plays where
things are acted out.
A different approach to critical
thinking.
Positives:
Once it is felt, it is better
understood and remembered.
People want a chance to think
outside the box, and do well when
given the chance.

7. Everything is a Negotiation!
Challenges:
I am sure when NO means NO,
and have changed NO to YES,
but not sure when YES means
YES!
Positives:
Helps me learn more about my
customers
Helps me as an entrepreneur put
down boundaries
