I myself am an IT professional who has worked in large industries and corporate sectors practicing the knowledge I have gained through work and process methodologies from the certifications I have. I have my own set-methodologies of teaching certification courses which is goal specific and has a focus on industrial exposure. I successfully conduct industry-oriented training which is much more vast than the certification courses. I conduct corporate training as well as self-designed in house training.
Apart from my mainstream profession, I had a deep interest in health and fitness, which I have been following up for more than a decade. I have developed a group in my society and work on helping and guiding people to achieve their fitness goals to a certain extent. I practice on the concepts of functional medicine and have been quite successful by implementing it.
I also counsel people on psychological aspects and also act as a one-on-one mentor for developing goals, how to achieve them. I work on studying, analyzing, and providing solutions on people's complex problems and deriving an optimum solution, that could otherwise lead to severe psychological disorders like depression, substance abuse, personality disorders. I have also counseled in a few trauma-related disorders.
I do have an inclination on writing as I feel that I could reach people far beyond my reach, thus I started writing articles, blogs and am also an active member on different forums. I also am a Subject matter expert in many areas like maths, computer hardware, networking, IT, project management, and some more.
Thereafter, I have started tutoring students on subjects relating to my above expertise, where I translate these real-time experiences into custom-fit courses and regular certification courses which very much helped them to achieve success in their lives.
