The 5th Mantra - Everyone can communicate!
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and when like-minded people get together, the step becomes easier to take and the journey a lot more meaningful.
This is how “The 5th Mantra” became a reality in 2021, with the coming together of 3 dynamic women with a shared dream, to help individuals become powerful and effective communicators.
The dream wasn’t an easy one, against the backdrop of several challenges during the pandemic, but the passion and dedication of the team made it possible. Thus was born the revolutionary concept of The Communication Fitness Studio, to help professionals discover how human skills can help them build stronger rapport with others leading to positive outcomes for teams and organisations. Along with this team, you will learn pathbreaking approaches to handle conversations with greater confidence, understand behavioural styles and enhance leadership skills.
In the Brand name, the numerical 5 symbolises Versatility and Originality while Mantra stands for Affirmation for Growth. The logo of Tally Marks conveys Simplicity, Accuracy and Ease of Implementation. The colours of Royal Blue and Yellow have been chosen with great care to represent Intellect, Quality and Elegance.
