Kumar celebrates 10 years in corporate etiquette training

Media personality Kumar de Silva celebrates a successful decade in corporate etiquette training this year. In the past 10 years, several thousand of corporates, both young and old, have been through the different modules of his interactive personality development and corporate etiquette training sessions. 
“Ten years ago, just as I turned 50, this was a new journey in my life and one that I never thought would hit it this big. Right along I have been known as a media and television personality and this was a totally new avatar. I’m truly happy that my work that has spoken for itself,” he said.

His interactive training modules cover a wide range of topics such as ‘The Smart Corporate’, ‘Hygiene and Grooming’, ‘How to face an Interview’, ‘Wining and Dining’, ‘Communication with Confidence’, ‘The Art of Public Speaking’, ‘How to be an effective Company Spokesperson’, ‘The Art of Foreign Travel’, ‘How to become a successful Secretary/Personal Assistant’ and even ‘How to become an efficient Driver/Office Assistant’ to name a few.
A recent addition to his successful portfolio of training sessions was Hotel/Restaurant Service Excellence for all Front Office Teams and Culinary/F&B Teams.

De Silva works with the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management Sri Lanka (CIPM), which presents his sessions to hundreds of corporates across the country. 
Parallely, AICPA and CIMA Sri Lanka also work with him on a regular basis and present his sessions to hundreds of AL students, school leavers and CIMA students, islandwide.
He has also been the Official Corporate Etiquette Trainer for several local beauty pageants and continuously since 2015 for Miss (World) Sri Lanka.
