Embarking on a new career path at the age of 40 is both exciting and overwhelming. As a marketing strategist transitioning into the world of soft skills training and image consulting, I was looking for the right guidance, structure, and encouragement to take this leap.
From my very first interaction, the team at ICBI Hyderabad made all the difference. Aakanksha, the Engagement Head, patiently listened to my story, understood my aspirations, and provided clarity on how this journey could align with my strengths and long-term vision. Madhumita, my Programme Advisor, guided me through every step of selecting and registering for the course, ensuring all my doubts were addressed and my decisions were well-informed. Since this was not a decision I was making alone, the ICBI advisors also spoke with my wife, addressing her inhibitions with transparency, empathy, and facts turning uncertainty into wholehearted support.
The classes have been a revelation well-structured, engaging, and highly interactive. The trainers are industry experts who not only teach concepts but also share real-world insights, making every session practical, relevant, and inspiring. Their encouragement and constructive feedback have accelerated my learning and boosted my confidence at every step.
Six months later, I am well into my transformation journey, with my soft skills certification almost complete. The professionalism, warmth, and unwavering support from the Hyderabad centre have made this transition feel less like a career shift and more like a purposeful reinvention. I now look forward to the next phase of image consulting with confidence, backed by ICBI’s unmatched curriculum, practical tools, and mentorship system. This is more than just a course its a life-changing journey, and I’m deeply grateful to the ICBI Hyderabad team for setting me up for success.
