In today’s screen-age, time poverty and attention deficit makes learning difficult. Good old days of finding time to read a book, listen to a story or sit in a classroom for learning has become a luxury. Every time we see books on the shelves in a bookstore at the airport, we pick up a couple of titles and stack it in our library, hoping to find time to ready it “someday”. So many DVDs lie on our racks waiting to be played in our earphones. Finding time to read, listen and view just gets procrastinated to “someday”.
What if we had a buddy, who would nudge us to read relevant and meaningful stuff every morning?
What if a learned person could read out and explain a topic, while we drive to and from work?
What if we had a few minutes of meaningful video, which we could play just before going to bed?
Won’t it be great, if once in a while, we became participants to good old, “Bournvita Quiz Contest” where a white bearded guy would throw rapid fire, mind scratching questions at us?
How about just huddling with our team for a quick 20 minute wrap up before entering a den of a high value deal or a difficult customer?
Why not have coaches to guide us in our learning to take us to the next level? After all, only professionals have coaches to build world class careers.
At Sympan, we promise to be:
A Friend, who will nudge you to read,
A Guru, who would read and explain concept to your ears
A Guide, who will simplify the complexities in very little time
A quiz master, who would put you on your toes and make you answer questions in less than a minute
A platform, where you can huddle with your team and strategize to acquire that big customer or crack that big deal
A Coach, who will lend his shoulder to lift you up to climb the corporate ladder and play many more such roles…
