Claudio Del'Era From Italy At SOIL India...

Recently, I visited SOIL (School of Inspired Leadership) to attend a session by Claudio Del'Era and his students. This was the last session for the first day of a 5-day long venture. The session was a workshop on Design Based Innovation. There were around 50 odd students from all over the country and all were quite enthusiastic to attend this interactive session with Claudio. The complete arrangement was done by SOIL's management at their campus in Gurgaon.

In fact, this is not the only session that has been organized by SOIL. There are so many of such informative sessions organized from time to time with varying tenure to match the aspiring needs of the budding leaders of the country. Claudio had come from Italy and there he is fully engaged in multiple activities related to Design based Innovation, which is his favorite subject.

~~~

Claudio is a well-known figure worldwide being one of the top few who have mastered the subject, 'Design based Thinking and Innovation’. He has vibrant energy when you discuss with him about his subject and the way he makes you understand about the ins and outs of Design based Innovation, probably you would get the know about it from the ground. The fundamentals about this subject were well explained by him at length with right fitting real life examples. Claudio carries a Doctorate in this subject and this is the field where very few dare to get into.

Claudio works as a Co-Director of an interesting and a quite popular institute in Italy – MaDe In Lab which extends to Management of Design and Innovation Laboratory. He takes care of three major portfolios here – Training, Research, and Consulting. Besides this, Claudio is also working as an Assistant Professor at MIP Politecnico.

When At SOIL...

~~~

Thanks to SOIL, School of Inspired Leadership, where I got a chance to meet Mr. Anil Sachdev, the Founder and CEO of this unique innovative Gurukul to train professional youth in a direction to achieve new and impossible heights in their life.

~~~

The main focus here in this temple remains of the student getting fully conversant with himself first. Because if you don't know yourself, your strengths and weaknesses, you can never achieve your goals in desired manner. Without knowing yourself you cannot drive your life in your desired directions. And hence, in that condition, one surrenders himself to others, to get driven by them and that way all his ambitions, wishes and interests get buried inside and never see the light of the day. 

~~~

We had a detailed interaction with Anil on his vision, mission and the goals he has set for this great institute with a novel cause. The students trained here, who have already a professional spread of 2-5 years, after joining, get transformed into someone they had never met with, never known and never thought of. 

~~~

The transformation itself is a unique experience for each student in his or her own way. The curriculum is very structured to build the various pillars of strength within the student in such a way that the mind starts thinking in a unique innovative manner to achieve one's ambitions and goals of an individual's life.
