Knowing yourself: In the following module, you will learn about yourself.
This is important since learning about others is easy, but difficult to learn
about 'who we are'. The effort will be to help you question yourself and, in
the process, gain insight within your real self.

Conflicts & decision making: In this module, you will develop awareness
about conflicts which are incompatible in nature and coexist within. Such
conflicts result in difficulty in decision-making. You will learn the essence of
'best', 'good', and 'right' decisions in life, in general, and in your career, in
particular.

Stress management: Here, you will also learn how to manage your day-to-
day stress effectively. If such stress is not resolved, it will accumulate and
create barriers in your day-to-day performance. The ways and means to
handle stress will be the pivotal theme in this module.
