Durga Kalyani’s Post

In conversation with Isis Gouédard : "It really came from the EMBA, from learning a valuable ideology that whatever you touch, you can learn from it and grow" It is considered a golden rule in project management, that change is an inevitable foresight that leads to a transformative state, a beginning of renaissance for both the business and its professionals. Managing change is an opportunity not only grounded to the business landscape but also on a personal level when pursuing a career path or setting a game plan for one’s ambitions. #alumni #GenevaEMBA #UniversitédeGenève #EMBAnews

The programme is designed to cultivate modern leadership acumen and business strategies to navigate global uncertainties and the complexities brought on by technological disruption. The Strategic Management Programme for CXOs is a 10-month blended learning programme developed to align with organisations’ strategic goals, fostering future readiness while building resilient business structures. Learners will gain a deep understanding of decision-making processes and develop the competencies required to lead large-scale organisational transformations. The curriculum instils a refined C-suite mindset, emphasising business realities, customer-centricity, and innovation. Through the programme’s STAR modules, learners will acquire strategic thinking capabilities, embrace cutting-edge technologies, and develop a comprehensive business perspective while honing responsible managerial competencies—giving both aspiring and current CXOs a competitive advantage. According to a study, approximately eight out of ten employers offer company-sponsored upskilling programmes, yet only 51% of employees make use of these opportunities, with time constraints and family commitments cited as the primary barriers. Another report highlights that human skills—such as leadership, communication, and emotional intelligence—are in twice as much demand across sectors compared to AI and machine learning despite the significant growth of these technologies in the job market. Thus, adopting a strategic mindset is paramount for today’s global business leaders, and the Strategic Management Programme for CXOs offers the necessary tools and resources to meet this demand. Speaking at the announcement, Prof. Debashis Chatterjee, Director IIM Kozhikode, said: “In today’s highly competitive and constantly changing business landscape, the continuous upskilling of senior executives is more important than ever. The IIM Kozhikode Strategic Management Programme for CXOs is a pioneer

Mentors are guides. Mentors are invaluable guides who provide direction, support, and wisdom to help others achieve their goals. Mentorship in any field offers numerous advantages for both mentors and mentees, including personal, professional, and organizational benefits. The relationship fosters growth, encourages skill development, and ensures the transfer of valuable knowledge and experience. I recall when I first started my career as a fresh graduate at M-Savings and SME Investment. I was entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring smooth production processes while maintaining strict quality control compliance. The pressure of meeting production targets and deadlines, coupled with ensuring regulatory compliance, was daunting. However, having a mentor during this period was instrumental in helping me navigate these challenges. One significant experience that stands out was when we faced a particularly tight production target. My boss asked for my opinion on whether the target could be met given the limited time frame. I replied, “It’s not possible.” His response was both firm and transformative: “Never tell me it’s not possible.” That statement shifted my perspective, and with his guidance, we achieved the seemingly impossible target. Another memorable moment occurred during a drive to the company. My mentor shared a piece of advice that has stayed with me: “You must always learn to look ahead and not focus solely on your present state or challenges.” These words resonated deeply and have continued to influence how I approach obstacles in both my professional and personal life. There are countless lessons I could share, but these two instances highlight the impact of having a mentor who inspires resilience and forward-thinking. I remain profoundly grateful to Timothy Folami Bsc Econ, MICA, FIHCM, FIISSN. ISSS for the privilege of working under his mentorship. His passion, resilience, and determination have left an indelible mark on me. May God continue to bless him richly. What about you? What advice have you received from a mentor that has resonated with you and shaped your journey? #FoodIndustry #FoodTechnologist #Mentorship #Day9of20WithMaryOdili

"I Didn't Have a Mentor Post-IIM Bangalore – One of My Biggest Mistakes" It is often said that mistakes are not bad provided you learn from them. I have made many mistakes in my life, and if I were to list my top three, "Not having a mentor in my life post completing MBA from IIMs" will definitely feature in the top three. 1. Did I never have a mentor? Yes, I did, many, up until I got into IIM Bangalore. I actively sought mentors. Hailing from a small town, Mussoorie, we didn’t have many information sources. My first mentor was my economics teacher, Professor Bisht. He helped channelize my energy and gave me a concrete goal – Abhishek, try to get into SRCC. I made this my goal, and it helped me do away with chaos and confusion in my life. I got into SRCC. During college life as well, I actively sought mentorship. I was confused about whether I should try for IAS or IIMs. One of my mentors then logically convinced me why trying for IIMs made sense. I made that my goal and ultimately got into IIMB. 2. Why didn’t I have a mentor post IIMs? With honest introspection, I can pin it down to two reasons: (i) Once I got into IIMB, a bit of arrogance and confidence set in. I was confident that I could face the world since I had a degree from one of the world’s premier institutes. (ii) Some years post IIMB, when life experiences humbled me, I hesitated from seeking a mentor, thinking, "Who will have time for me?" or "They might have a low opinion of me." 3. Why should one have a mentor(s) in their life? I could quote from extensive literature on this subject, but I would like to keep this personal as well. Firstly, it should not be just any mentor but a good mentor who is invested in your story and success. The most important aspect of having a mentor is the feeling of warmth and care. Knowing that someone is there who cares about you makes you feel important, safe, and, most importantly, accountable for your actions. A good mentor will help you channelize your energy and set actionable goals to realize your dreams. They can also open doors for you by making introductions and referrals. In short, one of my key pieces of career advice to all my students is to proactively seek good mentors. However, don’t see mentorship as a one-way street. Try to find ways to be of some value to your mentor. In my next post on mentorship, I will share how you should approach someone to be your mentor. Again, I will not refer to literature on this but will talk to industry professionals and ask them to share their honest perspectives. I will talk to seasoned professionals as well as young postgraduates on this matter. If you want me to cover some other aspect of mentorship or disagree with my opinion, I would love to see your comments. #Mentorship,#CareerAdvice,#PersonalGrowth
