Coaching: An effective way to promote and develop performance

Employment relationships nowadays have become rather unsteady as formerly stable professional structures alter with rapid innovations in knowledge, changing work methods and new technologies. Mere technical knowledge of any profession is no longer sufficient to master the fast occurring social changes accompanied by new complexities of issues.

Here, coaching serves to identify these issues on a personal and/or structural basis. Coaches assist in a very individual manner in promoting skills to handle working relationships and thus they ultimately also aid to reach corporate goals in a better, more effective as well as faster way. They have their clients work on their own solutions and thus serve as a catalyst. At the end of a professional coaching process the client will have also gained better self-reflection and self-awareness which aids to master future challenges of the working environment. Any good Coach should therefore have a profound background in psychology as well as an understanding of managerial concepts.

This talk will focus on possible scopes of coaching as well as its implications for teamwork and leadership. Next, I will talk about the effectiveness of coaching and how to transfer the newly learnt skills into daily business routine. In the end, the audience should leave with a thorough understanding of the possibilities of professional coaching. Should they ever need to choose a coach themselves, they will also be equipped with practical tools to discern a professional from a layman.

The fifth generation (5G) wireless communication makes the future more than smart!

What is the fifth generation (5G) wireless communication?

The demand for higher data rates in wireless communications due to extensive use of multimedia applications and video streaming is always on the rise. 5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology, which is completely wireless with almost no limitations, also can be called REAL wireless world. There are many features that 5G can offer: high resolution for crazy cell phone users, enhanced and available connectivity around the world. The 5G technology is providing up to 25 Mbps connectivity speed. The new 5G technology will make all delivery service obsolete in the future. 5G system will not be a single technology but rather a combination of integrated RATs [radio access technologies]. Right now, there are no 5G phones and devices to use the new technology, although manufacturers like Samsung, LG, and HTC are experimenting with new designs. While the specifics are unclear, the 5G concept is mind-boggling and complex. The 2G network focused on voice, 3G on data, and 4G on video; the new 5G network will be all about connections.

This talk will highlight the features of 5G technology, mark its challenges, will give an overview on recent research, as well as on the evolution from the first generation to the fifth generation.
