“Self realization is the most important step
towards self leadership”….the biggest learning from the first session on
Self Leadership by Anil Sachdev sir for BLP batch of 2013…and a dream way to
start our new journey at SOIL.
I had
mixed emotions, in morning, about this session of Self Leadership. “How this
lecture is going to be?” “Will it go completely on spiritual side?” “Will I be
able to understand it?”…I was bit skeptical. At the same time I was telling
myself that this is the area I want to really develop in. I entered the class
with some reluctance. But when the class started, I realized that why Anil sir
is recognized as the best teacher for Self Leadership course…The whole session
was a real value addition for me, while scrubbing of my all false notions about
self leadership.
The
session started off with discussion on 6 layers of realization of ‘Self’ –
Body, Instinct, Mind, brain, heart, and soul – and these 6 layers were related
to 5 pillars of SOIL – Diversity, Compassion, Ethics, Sustainability, and
mindfulness. Next session was on importance of non verbal modes of
communication through Eye, Ear, and Touch. This session clearly expressed the
power of listening. “Power of Great
leader lies with his power of listening”. The group discussions conducted
in-between really helped to understand the concepts better. The subsequent session on Ego-Alter Ego communication
emphasized that careful listening helps the speaker to connect with listener
easily and listener understands what speaker tries to say and it helps to take the
dialogue on positive note…”An Alter in
life will alter the life”.
This
whole session and exercises conducted during the class clearly pointed out that
self realization is important for self leadership and to be a self leader, I
should improve my powers of communication. I could realize the change after
coming out from class with the new insights and senses trying to capture subtle
stimuli.
