The Multifaceted Self : A Talk with Shobha Tharoor Srinivasan -In Conversation with Niharika Chugh
On 19th 03.00 PM To 03:40 PM
The discussion began with a quote “Jack of all trades & master of one (none)" with the reference to any person who has dabbled in many skills, rather than gaining expertise by focusing on only one. The speaker also added that it gives you a better problem-solving ability in unprecedented situations & that everyone needs to be a multi-tasker in the present competitive world. The discussion also included thoughts that we each are a combination of attributes which converge to become a personality - A multifaceted Self. We see ourselves as individuals, a singular self. We identify ourselves as "me" & "I". The moderator resented her questions beautifully making the overall discussion with a perspective of today’s working culture.
