Being passionate about human behavior and community development, Vasan has spent the past 10 years of his professional life accumulating knowledge and skill-sets to be able to work with people and communities better. These knowledges and skillsets includes NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DISC Profiling test and a few others.
With these skill sets, and having worked with several self-development and team building trainers, Vasan is now embarking on a journey, conducting sustainable development workshops with several communities, especially rural, under-developed villages, in Central America for free.
Being worked with about 12 different groups from 4 countries, Vasan came to a realization that Honduras needs the most support and decided to stay and build these communities to be able to self sustain. The challenge for him now is finances. He would not be able to support others if he is not able to support himself. For that, he needs to secure a full-time job that he is able to execute remotely and on his time outside of work, live with these communities and help them build.
Vasan’s previous experiences from executive to management level, in customer service, hospitality and the banking industry, with his experience working with people the past 20 years will be a great asset to the organization he will contributing to.
