What comes to your mind when you hear about motivational speakers? Hours of boredom in the company of a garrulous man/woman and bombardment of advices to gain control over self? Well, two local boys, Santosh Sunar and Kalyan Bhattacharjee, can prove it wrong.
The young motivational speakers say motivational speeches have always been didactic but we want to come closer to the listeners through words.
The duo has already spoken at many events and is planning to set up a centre to encourage more youths to think positively. “Unemployment is a major problem and many youths often lose their confidence. We can help them by showing the right way and counselling for future,” says Sunar, who has a degree in Zoology but experience in various fields, including teaching and marketing. “I am now pursuing my career as a Motivational Speaker in Shillong and Visakhapatnam,” he says.
Bhattacharjee, who has completed his MCA from St Anthony’s College, was also involved in the Spoken Tutorials project which was coordinated by IIT Mumbai sponsored by the IT Department, Government of India.
“I think a motivational centre in Shillong will go a long way and not only the youths but also other professionals and students can benefit,” says Sunar.
