Lawson Monteiro
Bangalore
Summary
I have 20 years of experience in the Training and Knowledge Management space, right from setting up a training organization to OD Consulting. I realized at the very start of my career that my inherent skills are strong communication & personality, task driven individual and interpersonal skills which has ensured my success over the years as a training and development professional. Apart from having the inherent skills required to be successful in the training and development domain, I am extremely passionate about training and development. As the great Socrates once said "Education is the kindling of a flame; not the filling of a vessel"; I find true nobility and contentment in empowering and enlightening individuals and organizations.
