Heard the word ‘Sustainability’ before? Yes/ No, it’s alright. In this modern age with technology which is continuously growing, sustainability plays a key part.

Let’s look at what is Sustainability. In 1987, the United Nations Brundtland Commission defined sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

On the other hand, we are facing the climate crisis too, due to several circumstances. We can notice air pollution and deforestation which are causing illnesses and other catastrophes. As humans we need to save our planet for the future generations to come. Several organisations are coming up with many solutions which are adapting to sustainability like Apple, Google and others.

Many of us have heard the word ‘Leadership’ many a times. But how effective is leadership practiced?

The key aspects of leadership are; empathy, integrity, proper communication, understanding the culture, gratitude and several other factors. Leadership is a continuous learning process, which does not have an expiry date. It comes with being able to understand what struggles people go through, understanding their culture irrespective of their background and having an open dialogue communication to encourage more honesty. Some people just don’t understand what hardships that people go in their personal & corporate lives, so it comes down to empathy also to get a better understanding and grooming them.

Of course, Language plays a big role in Leadership and Sustainability. When it comes to globalisation English Language plays a professional role. Approximately there are over 1.5 billion people in the planet who speak in English. Business English plays a key role in the International Trade, when it comes to negotiations, contracts, distributions, marketing, etc. Without proper communications skills in English especially in today’s world people will face many challenges, when it comes to multi-cultural meetings, business gatherings and networking with certain stakeholders.

CIOEL has done many video podcasts with international leaders which are available on YouTube to watch. Some include Dewey Cooper (UFC champion coach & WBA champion coach), Phillip A. Barbb (2x EMMY nominated TV producer), Komal Nahta (Internationa Film trade analyst & well known in the Bollywood industry) and Steven Silbiger (author of The Ten-Day MBA, an international best seller). These interviews share tremendous knowledge, whereas these leaders share their experiences and how to overcome obstacles in life.

Apart from that CIOEL has programmes in English Language, Leadership & Sustainability and they offer in-house customer service training for organizations that seek motivational and transformational trainings and do resume writing for individuals.
