Excel Trainer...!

After a week's excitement and fears, the final Day to conduct Excel Training for my Research Cell, came up today. Before going further I want to thank all those who attended it, for bearing up with me that too for one and half hour (or probably more than that).

Wow, its hard to believe that I conducted a training session. I am not a trainer, I can communicate effectively, I can motivate people, I can guide, I can write these long blogs but never thought would be able to do training. But at the end it was nice experience. I believed I did it quite well. The feedback was satisfying but more than that if my training does any value addition in my audience's day to day work, I ll b more happier. Anyways the feeling before the training was very tensed. And I was preparing my material on training since the time I came in office. How I wished that somehow the session could be postponed to next week. However in less than 2 hours I hardly prepared all my training material. I thought that it wont last for anything more than half hour but then it lasted for more than one and half hours.

Wondering how did I end up conducting a training session?

Well it all started with our Research Bay requesting for a proper Excel Training to Shri Sir. And me being the Macro Man(command in Excel) in the team, Shri Sir requested me to conduct this training. Initially it was decided that it will be jointly conducted by me and Shri Sir, as positively we both have somewhat more knowledge of Excel. But gradually Shri Sir got off from the entire training, putting it up to me to conduct it all. Well if you are thinking I am an Excel Geek, then let me tell it very frankly that I am not. I somehow managed to save my soul.

Well I think I ll be conducting more of such sessions in coming weeks. Its a very mixed feeling as yet the fear factor of conducting training prevails and also the success of today's session inspires to go ahead. At the present moment I feel next time I will try and prepare the module a week in advance. So that on the day of training I don't wish to postpone it.

Thanks to Yashaswini, Zabhia, Pawan, Santosh Bhagwant and Research Bay for your encouragement, please do leave me your comments, feedbacks, compliments in comments of this blog. Would definitely want to hear your inputs about the session.
