This was our first
class of second term and second session on Self Leadership . We were back
to the classes after witnessing a very sad tragedy. We were asked to be
in groups and reflect on past week's incident and learning from it.
Then we shared the thoughts amongst us. We concluded that life is unpredictable and nothing is permanent here.Similar thoughts were coined
by other groups as well.
We were then shown a
video -"Before i die,i want to".The video was about sharing some
things which we wished to do before death. The same campaign is going to be
carried out in the Soil Cafeteria and all the SOIL students will make a list of
things to do before i die.This is in itself a kind of inspiring activity as it
forces one to rethink about himself and set priorities.
After that, Sir briefly
discussed the six layer model of Self awareness which was introduced in the
first session of Self leadership.
Emotional Quotient, which
plays a very important role in shaping the Leadership traits in a person, was
discussed next. He said that experiencing one's self in a conscious
manner that is, gaining self-knowledge is an integral part of learning and
people with high emotional intelligence are expected to progress more quickly.
After emotional intelligence, Sir enlightened us with the importance of appreciative
enquiry & why it is needed. Appreciative Inquiry is needed to recognize
value, respect and gratitude the positives of others, which actually gives happiness
to both. It is a very powerful tool by which one can reach the problem root
while appreciating it. It treats problem like a mystery to be embraced.
We then
did AI in groups of two and it was really wonderful. I got to know about my
partner’s strength without him actually telling me. We had a set of questions
that were needed to be asked and the result was amazing. I am looking forward
to more of AI when we go to Sidhbari.
After
this wonderful session, Anil sir asked us to think about any regrets or guilt
that we carry. We were asked to think about what is expected of us by our loved
ones. Finally the session came to an end and left us wanting for more.
