Learned how to live from father
My father was a teacher at Rashtrapati Bhavan School. I always saw him well dressed. Impressed by his words, people would often come to his house to meet him. I really liked my father’s personality traits. It was from him that I learned the virtues of manners. My mother chose to stay at home to impart good values to us. He spent his life raising four brothers and sisters for us.
No matter how educated you are, if you don’t have manners and manners, you won’t be considered capable. If you do not behave respectfully with someone, your behavior is not polite, you lack manners, then it has a negative effect on the whole personality of the person. Which ruins even the finished work. All these things are called the ‘soft skills’ of personality, which are very important to pay attention to. These soft skills play a vital role in a person’s success.

Love marriage was not easy
I grew up and studied in Delhi. I am the youngest of four siblings, so I was loved by everyone since childhood. After graduating in History, I started working in travel and tourism with Balmer Lawrie.
We have a love marriage, we have been college friends. Her husband Kaushal is from Bihar so the family was not ready for the marriage. At that time it was not so easy to make a love marriage. One advantage in my case was that I was the youngest in the house. There was no fear that someone else would not be able to marry me. It took us 4-5 years to convince our parents about marriage. Until then I continued to do my travel and tourism work.
Continuous work even after marriage
Kaushal was preparing for PCS for State Service then. When he was chosen, we got married. My husband was posted in Ranchi, so after marriage, I also moved there with him. Even after getting married, I continued to work, but in order to raise my daughter, I gave up my career a lot.
Can’t give time. I used to go to school in Jharkhand and teach children manners and soft skills. I have been working for the education of those children whose parents are unable to educate them. One of those women has been chosen in the field of medicine. It gives great pleasure to see children’s progress.
Geeta Sharma is a counseling psychologist and also teaches life skills to children.
He started studies again at the age of 43
When my daughter grew up, I started to have time for myself. I decided to re-study with my daughter’s board exams and started and completed the Imagery and Soft Skills Training Diploma. At that time Anusha’s daughter was in college and we were both studying together. During the lockdown, when we were all locked in our homes, I used that time for studies.
Self-confidence is the first step towards success
After coming to Delhi from Ranchi, he enrolled for MA (Psychology) at the age of 48. I promised myself that I would give myself a Master’s degree on my 50th birthday, and I achieved that too with a first division.
I believe that confidence is the most important thing to complete any work or to progress in your career. I learn tricks to increase confidence. I also teach the young people the art of walking, talking manners and dress sense. I learned directly from my experiences, then shared what I learned with others. I study famous personalities.

Mental health is not mentioned
Now I am a counseling psychologist. I have realized that mental health is still not talked about openly in our country. People are less hesitant to share their mental problems online. But in this regard, it is the counsellor’s responsibility to take care of the patient’s privacy. Loneliness is the biggest reason for mental health. In today’s time, a person is alone and does not see anyone in front of him to express his feelings. There is also a lack of trust and healthy competition. The feeling of jealousy towards each other has increased rapidly in society. While technology has progressed from society, society has also become self-centered. All this has affected the person’s mind and mental health problems have arisen because of that.
It is important to learn life skills from childhood
There is no practice of teaching life skills to children in our country. It can be started during the summer holidays. At this time children have time. But teach them manners in sports rather than in studies. During the summer holidays, learn skills such as cooking, cutting vegetables, washing clothes and utensils, cleaning the house, gardening. This increases the children’s self-confidence and they learn the work happily.
my work is starting to increase
I started my career once again with ‘Lumiere Image Consultancy’. Now I am known as an image maker as well as a counseling psychologist. Because just image management and soft skills are not enough, it is also important to understand people’s psychology.
