Abhishek Sharma_BLP012_Self Leadership_May 2012


Today 21st may is the day our classes were to commence. And our first class of ‘Self Leadership’ has laid the perfect foundation for the year  as we go on the journey of discovering ourselves .
The class challenged us to think outside our programmed mind. We were initially  in disbelief as we learnt about the  real “I” that its not the body , mind , heart but it’s the soul . And leaders are those who do not react to a situation but respond effectively.
We were exposed to the different modes of communication which a good leader should possess gestures , listening and touch .The simulation exercises facilitated by Anil Sir made us realize the power of these communication modes and left a deep mark in our minds .The thing that struck me most was that great leaders are great listeners . He touched upon concept of attentive listening that how it can help in understanding the thought process of speaker .
He related with real life experiences and elaborated on subtle listening and how it can be developed  as it’s an acquired skill and not a natural skill. The day ended on a spiritual note as we explored the power of touch and we saw the demonstration of flow of positive energy and how it can act as a healing touch .
After the day session , I came out of the classroom as an enlightened person , and that its important to know one’s bigger purpose in life rising above self centred “I” . 

Regards
Abhishek
