SATURDAY 17th JUNE 2017 – OSHWAL SOUTH LONDON MAHAJANWADI – Breaking Barriers Seminar – Winning ways to empower yourself!
On Saturday 17th June, OAUK hosted its fourth Seminar at the South London Mahajanwadi, which had a running theme on personal and professional development. Specifically, the Seminar aimed to cater toward this theme through two guest speakers, both of whom approached the session from two different angles. Sumiben Shah delivered a presentation on CV and Interview Preparation whilst Malaben Shah focused Mindfulness, Personal Growth and Self-Motivation. See below for an overview of the speakers.
On a warm Saturday evening, the Seminar kicked off with some light refreshments and networking amongst the diverse group of attendees who shared what they were looking to get out of the evening. We had young Oshwals who were who were about to embark upon job applications and interview preparation along with many adults who were looking to gain inspiration and insight around how to best achieve their life goals and ambitions.
After introductions and welcomes, Sumiben Shah took the stage to deliver an insightful presentation, from a recruiter’s perspective, concerning best practice for CV writing and interview preparation.

The second part of the Seminar saw Malaben Shah revitalize and re-energize the audience through an interactive and engaging session. Malaben took a deep-dive into the mind, guiding the audience on how to understand ‘beliefs’ and where they come from, how to go about changing beliefs as well as being emotionally intelligent and aware. This session included a number of easy-to-use behavioural models and success tools that had been developed over Malaben’s established and diverse career as a Life Coach.
