A trained counselor and an MBTI accredited professional, Vinita works in the space of Life Skills for adults and children. A post-graduate from Delhi University, she has been a passionate debater and quizzer through her school and college years. Her journey to becoming a self-aware and empathetic counselor, that began with volunteering at the Salaam Balak Trust is one of self-discovery, persistence and fortitude. Through her professional years of working in seemingly disparate areas of Development with Concern India Foundation and KC Mahindra Education Trust, HR with HDFC Bank and Education with Educomp and as an independent consultant, her natural ability of working with empathy has found both voice and appreciation.
She combined her training and passion to set up ‘Thinking and Articulation’ classes ten years ago, through which she works with over a hundred children in the NCR, at a given time period. She created her curriculum that emphasized on Critical thinking, Appreciation for World awareness and Writing styles. These essential skills helped her further her work into Essay writing for admission applications and Interview and GD Training. She also trains aspiring career counselors on Basic Counselling skills, besides undertaking Communication Training for Corporates. She is most proud to have taken a session on Story-Telling at the IIM-Bangalore and Goal-Setting at Government schools in Delhi.
While she enjoys a good book, a sharp review and a compelling narration, what excites her the most is working with children and young adults, both individually and in groups – as counsellor, teacher and mentor, on Goal-Setting, Self-Awareness and Story-Telling.
