Are we worried about safety of our children today?

Being  parents we do every bit to ensure safety of our children.

But as they grow and they enter in the world outside secure zone, it becomes challenging to ensure their safety. It is because threats are of diversified, difficult to predict and control.

Any means of security i.e.  guards, cops, security equipment fall short to cover each and every gap to make them full proof secure.

Then what is the full proof security solution?

Prepare our children to be watchful and smart to deal with threats…

Train them to be alert, sense threat, make quick strategy to escape or deal with treat

Do we introduce them for probable threats and prepare to avoid-escape-deal with it?

Do we train them to sense surrounding, actions-reactions- responses to see probable threats?

It may not be possible always to avoid threats, hence we must learn to face it.

Keeping children in safe environment is good but it is also equally required to introduce them with tricky challenges as Vaccine, to prepare them to real life.

Aapt UX  Personality Builder, engages children in interesting activities and games, events, analogous to real life threats. It will provide them opportunity to practice dealing with threats in controlled environment.

 

An ability to deal with threat smartly brings confidence and sense of safety and security. It helps us to set high goals and take calculative risks for higher gains.

Life is all about discovering ‘Real Me within Myself’…

We all at some or the other point in life encounter with a beautiful character hidden within ourselves. It can be very different in nature to believe it’s me…

Who am I?

Since childhood we start creating our own image based on perspectives – our own and people around us. We start pursuing that image as “Me” without much doubt. We accept limitations and abilities of that image and follow…

We may  keep  encountering with ‘The character within each of us’ many times but ignore it, till we realize ‘It’s real me’

Very few get this realization and has courage to break the image built of perspectives to bring out real character of own in reality.

But we are loosing time and many of us may not be able to make it due to various genuine reasons.

The life is all about self realization. The real purpose of life is to bring out ‘Real me within me’. That is ‘Real success’.

Aapt UX Star Explorer understands value of this realization, hence it offers innovative ways to discover ‘Real you within you’ beyond your imagination! No matter how old you are…

Does Rank really INSPIRE your child today?

It is observed that rank doesn’t motivate children any more. Though rank is followed by appreciation, recognition and raise status & expectations, it fails to motivate children. On the other side it may demotivate children if their efforts are not translated into Ranks. Can we see the critical point here?

Rank is necessary but not sufficient to motivate children. Its is true with adults as well. It goes by basic human nature…

On the other side if we look at the great legends who have changed the world and are remembered by generations ahead, we don’t see rankers there…

Then what is that which motivates them to become great?

Aapt UX research reveals that exploration, imagination, creation, experiencing something new excites children more than anything else and hence are basic motivating factors which really drive children and adults also…

We don’t underestimate discipline and structured , standardized learning methods, but we try to balance it by introducing these motivating factors also.

Aapt UX Learning is designing learning environment which include these motivating factors and will not ignore Rank as well.

Electrifying Magic of “Passing A Token of Appreciation” among teams!

Appreciation works as inspiring, encouraging force for the one receiving it. In workforce management appreciation of the staff is always critical tool. Appreciation of one may discourage others among team. This is a negative effect of appreciation.

Big challenges or responsibilities are always handled by a team. Team can be layered and cross functional spread across geographical region. Each one of the team contributes at its level and important to achieve the goal in its own way.

How one of them can be chosen as best? In a team synchronization is most important. Only one is doing best will not yield the result. Only one getting charged up by appreciation is not going to charge the whole team.

How about appreciation of whole team? Well sounds good…

But how about passing token of appreciation among team? Sounds better?

It starts with the best performer of the team from management’s view. On receiving token of appreciation that person is supposed to pass it to one of the team members who contributed best to make him\her do the best. Of course data of evidence or facts can be collected and evaluated. Let the token of appreciation be passed among the team. Let appreciation reward get multiplied by each pass. When the whole team gets covered in this game of “Passing the Appreciation”, it’s the BINGO!

As management, what are we gaining by this? It will result in strong team building. This highlights importance of working together. It will act as lubrication to enhance synchronization among team resulting into increase in efficiency.

This can be work with big team consisting of multiple small teams.

It has electrifying effect… Have you ever tried?  Click here to know more…


 

Does Artificial Intelligence have place for Moral values and Ethics?

In today’s world, Artificial Intelligence looks promising in many ways and hence giant companies like IBM and Google are focusing on developing complex and interesting AI products.

But are we introducing moral values and ethics in AI?

Without high moral values and ethics we may end up developing super intelligent devils.

High moral values and ethics must be introduced to AI products, in order to maintain harmony. Then only AI will be called blessings for all mankind.

We need to rediscover real human in us…
