Dr. Odakkal's "Maximize Your Message" is a timely initiative to learn the art of getting one's message across. Messages which are clearly conveyed reduce the chance of misunderstanding and reversal. I wholeheartedly welcome Dr. Odakkal's initiative and wish him the very best.

I just have to shout from the rooftops about this coaching service! When I decided to pursue a PhD, I knew finding the right program for my subject area would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. But with this coaching service, I had an expert in my corner who helped guide me through the overwhelming process. They considered my profile, subject choice, college preferences, and future prospects to provide tailored guidance that led me in the right direction. What I loved most about the experience was the informative, goal-oriented approach that left me feeling heard, understood, and confident in making a decision about where to apply for my PhD. Every session built on the last, and I was blown away by the level of insight and perspective I gained on the pros and cons of my options. It's clear that the coach has invested in my success and tailored the process to meet my unique needs. Thanks to their guidance, I found the perfect program and applied with confidence. If you're looking for a coaching service that's inclusive, open, and leads to tangible results, look no further than this one. Trust me, you won't regret it!

I came to know about the JOI through very informative and inspirational messages that Dr Johnson Odakkal Sir used to sent. I used to know him as a maritime historian. But his messages and the content on JOI website made me realize how this navy veteran applied his navigation skills to navigating the unbound ocean of life. I then applied for DISC based personal navigation plan. I appeared for a kind of a test or survey and i got a report based on my responses. The report gave me a detailed idea of my behavioral and personality traits. I realized how i see myself, how others see me, how to find out personality of others in our workplaces and most importantly how to build sensible communication consciously while dealing with the people of different kinds. All this was practically made possible by the one to one sessions with Dr Johnson Odakkal Sir. He helped to read and interpret the report and sessions with him gave me meaningful insights. At that point, I was treading through rough waters in my life and felt the need to sign up for personalized coaching program. For about 3 issues selected me I received coaching. Johnson Sir was very friendly, frank and approachable throughout this journey. He helped in finding ways and means to all my problems, all through discussions and through dictation. I also got an opportunity to attend one day JOI Leadership Summit. It brought very new insights. I used to think of leader as someone who lead a team. I realized that one also has to lead himself! I can be the leader of my life, and everyone has a mission to accomplish and has a Big Message to to share and pass so as to touch the lives of others positively. The information that I got in this summit made me to apply for the Working Genius Assessment Report followed by explanation sessions. It helped me know my working styles especially at workplace, and my strengths and weaknesses. I am practically using the guidance I received through DISC personality assessment and working genius reports. In my opinion, these are extremely important tools to make our life productive and meaningful. It is esp. very useful for the young adults so that they can get chance to learn these techniques early in life and get more life span ahead to adopt it to reap maximum benefits. Thanks to JOI!

I've had multiple fantastic conversations with Johnson. He's highly knowledgeable and connects very well with the audience. Our team attended one of his communications workshop and it turned out to be one of the best communications workshop I've ever attended. Johnson is a fantastic teacher and I encourage you to engage/work with him. You'll not be disappointed.
