Opinion of Adults Participant
About “Born To Excel” Program
Quoted from video – recorded speech.
Participant Engineer by Profession
"I have attended almost every Personality Development Program conducted by various trainers here in Dubai. In all the others I heard high level theoretical concepts quoted from Socrates , Aristotle etc. they were high sounding ………
But after hearing Prof C.F. Joseph right through the week long program, I feel, I have attended something worth while at last. His conviction about issues like role and meaning of work in one’s life, commitment and loyalty to employers who give us an opportunity to make a living, maintaining standards of ethics etc. gives me a new sense of direction and achievement. I have no hesitations to say this is the best program I have so far attended.
His real life life-long learning experience and his experience from his work life enrich the experience of participants.
I would strongly recommend every adult to attend this program and begin to believe that you too are “Born To Excel” in life."

"He plays Music to our ears
He makes our ears yearn for music of life
He smiles at you
He makes you smile
He dreams with you
He makes you dream success
He talks about relationship
He relates himself to our soul
He instills happiness in our life
He gives purposes to our sorrowful living
He awakens your mind
He freshens your thinking
He makes success look easy
He makes easy our challenges
He calls you to be ambitious
He makes you ambitious
He makes you think big
He makes you believe in yourself
He gives positive strokes
He gives words of hope
He holds light of kindness
He spreads the lamp of peace, tranquility, and happiness
He implores us to be a: a better Husband, a better wife, a better father, a better child, a better colleague, a better human being
Is it Money or mission?
Is it business or service to mankind?
Is it our happiness: - his life’s goal
Is it our success: - his life’s ambition
Is it our children’s prosperity: - his life’s mission
You are an enigma
You are the world
You are the embodiment of happiness
You make this place a better place to live."

About “Born To Excel” Adult Program.
Hon’ble Chairman, Your Excellencies,
And dear friends,
“Born To Excel” program has been an excellent learning experience for me. It has given me confidence in Public Speaking and I can remember things much better. In fact I am now managing my time constructively and do not hang on to the stressful situations. I appreciate eustress and use it. More than ever before, I care about the feelings of my family members and colleagues at work. It has generated a new wave of love, affection and renewed responsibility about my children and wife. Prof Joseph as a teacher has made a great impact on my sensibilities. I feel fortunate to have attended this course where Prof. Joseph has delivered simple but critical message about how to live effectively is a deep sense of gratitude and imprints on my mind of the teachings of this great philosopher of life. Prof Joseph has conducted this 'down to earth’ “basic happy and successful life support course” in holistic terms. I salute this magnanimous teacher and wish him well to reach his teachings far beyond the horizons of this continent. Thanks.

We are sure what we learned from him will open our hearts and minds and lead us to the path of success in our lives.”
GREGORY J. DIAS (Electronics Engineer)
“When this course was advertised I thought to myself would it be not better for me to buy some books, audiotapes etc. on these topics and learn these skills by myself! However, when I attended the Free Audio Visual Presentations, which were very captivating, I immediately decided to join the programme. I’m very happy that I did. Now here I am standing in front of you all speaking confidently. The method of teaching and learning with all these videos, audiotapes, slides and exercises was a new experience for me. We have a new perspective for life now. We are now on our way to success in life. Thank you Mr. Joseph.” Ms.

TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN
We have the pleasure to certify that Prof. C. F. Joseph conducted a training course for about three months on a number of subjects, such as Leadership, Delegation, Communication, Motivation, Commitment, Time Management, etc. In addition to above subjects Prof. C. F. Joseph also conducted for some of our junior employees a Basic English course. The courses conducted by Prof. C. F. Joseph were so exhaustive, wide ranging and enormous that they will definitely have a very positive and significant effect on almost every aspect of our social, cultural, economic, and professional life. We have found Prof. Joseph not only an excellent trainer but also a man of outstanding knowledge, expertise, and vision. Far more interesting and remarkable is his art of presentation. His presentation and public speaking skills are so lucid, alluring, impressive and pleasant that it not only reaches the brains but also touches the hearts of his audience. This training programme has without any doubt been a resounding success. Our people are now not only more determined and confident to implement the SAP System (a new System Application Product which will replace our present computer system) but also they are now more committed to their jobs. The feedback we have received from Project Team that our people are far better trained, motivated and confident to implement the new system than any other member of our group, bears a clear testimony to the success of Prof. Joseph’s training programme. We have plans to organise refresher courses from time to time and at this moment we bid farewell to Prof. Joseph with heavy heart. We recommend him without any reservation to any organisation intending to embark upon training and development of their staff.

RE: Evaluation of Workshop on Excellence in Sales and Marketing
Dear Prof. Joseph,
Thank you for participating with Dubai Quality Group in conducting the workshop in Sales and Customer Service. In response to your email sent regarding your feedback on the workshop, I do share your views on the fact that participants were from middle and senior positions and that would make communication during the course more complex. That is why we witness different responses from participant’s feedback; some found the course content to be basic, and not to the level that they were expecting, others found that new Sales techniques and methods were not highlighted in the course. Here is an evaluation of the participant’s feedback in terms of the following points: Presenter: 74% Topic: 66% Content: 69% Venue: 78% General: 71% Average evaluation of workshop is 72% Every workshop that is conducted gives us the know – how and skills to provide our market with effective forums for professional growth. We have provided you with the evaluation of this workshop as part of our steps to make future activities more tailored to suit our market needs. Again we would like to thank you for your cooperation and wish you the best of luck in the coming activities you are involved in. feel free to contact me should you need further clarification.
