The power of listening and sharing.

Life classes at Fountainhead school actually took me down the memory lane. I was often taught the importance of listening and its effectiveness. Listening is one of the most important elements of developing personal as well as interpersonal effectiveness. But the truth is, I could never master the skill. During life classes, I actually developed my skill of listening. It helped me look at things from another perspective. Being humans, full of emotions and feelings, we feel as if the entire world is on our shoulders. Life classes gave me a platform where these emotions and feelings could be shared. Sharing them had a tremendous impact on my well being. I had always been following the 7 Habits, but never really realized its power. It is here, where I have understood the significance of following these habits. This realization, courtesy Life classes, will now drive me to continue following them in future as well.

Reflection for Life Class

Someone rightly said that “Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do”. I am really thankful to the Fountainhead school for conducting such classes. Through this life class, I learnt a lot and got to know about many things which I am unaware of.Even I shifted my paradigm for the different situation.
Overall it was an enlightening experience. I would like to thank the facilitators Tasnim ma’am and Mitali ma’am as they kept sessions engaging by sharing personal experiences.

Fruitful Session

I am very happy to be a part of such class – 7 Habits, in which I have got to learn many new things as well as got to experience everyone’s sharing, ideas, challenges that they faces in their life. After this fruitful session I am now confident to face any challenges or up’s and down’s if it arises in my life, I will stand strongly and overcome it. It made me understand about the paradigms which we carry with us all through the life and its impact on our lives and many more lessons,such as to understand and respect others perspectives, sharing time with beloved, knowing the responsibilities and prioritizing them, Situation of win-win/ win-lose, lose-win, adding into emotional bank account and so on.I am very thankful to both the facilitators Ravindra sir and Shraddha ma’am for motivating us, engaging us to share and guiding us to make a choice to apply these habits in our day to day life.

 

 

Learning from life

This is a new experience in my life where I have learnt how to lead a good life using the 7 habits. I have seen some transformations in me after attending the life classes. Be it in my behavior, mindset, personal and professional life, I personally feel there’s something which has happened good in me after implementing certain habits in my life. Since many years I’ve always believed in the positive thinking but still there were many a times when I used to feel helpless in handling different situations. The 7 habits classes helped me in identifying my problems for the concerns and that of influence. It helped me to set my personal goal to lead a fruitful life and be a good husband and father. I thank Fountainhead school to make me aware of this and to go through the right path for better living.

Life class

This is the very first time that I have attended such session,it has been a good experience for me. We all were able to know each-other and we also shared our life experiences so that we were able to understand the different situation of every individual. Life class taught me many things like how to tackle your own life in certain situations, I have explored that every human has the similarities when it comes to happiness. But, every individual have their own problem and conditions. Life is full of ups and down it is up to you how you take it. Stay positive and enjoy every moment.

Our mentors (Ravindra Agarwal and Shraddha Patel ) for life classes have guided us about the 7 habits.  I am glad to have them as a facilitators.

I want to thank my peers, they have been empathetic listeners throughout the session. they make me feel like a family. Thank you, and I am glad that Fountainhead school is conducting such sessions for their staff to enhance and channelize their life towards better quality.

Life lessons

The journey of this life class learning had being an amazing experience, this was a very first time for me attending such programmes.

Lessons regarding the Belief and values were the most focused topics and with deep knowledge and thinking.

It really brought a huge change in my thought process and perspective, it was something that I implemented in my daily practice and will follow throughout life.

Life Long Learning Through Life Classes

I’m still not able to come up with the fact that one year has passed by and today is the last day of our 7 Habits Life Class. On the first day of our life class, I did not expect the change these life classes would bring in both my professional and personal life.

I’ve always been a sentimental person, who tends to overthink things. Small issues affected me a lot. This created a lot of stress in both my professional and personal life. This journey of life classes made me realize what is actually important in our lives. It helped me shift the paradigms I had, made me realize how win-win is a frame of mind and heart that can be achieved when we seek to understand our counterparts first. One of the best parts of this workshop was the sharing that used to take place within the teammates. It made me realize that I’m not alone and this is something everyone goes through one way or another. Even listening to their insights was a great learning experience.
I’m always going to keep in mind the teachings of Stephen Covey (reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People book had been a great help) and last but not the least, a big thanks to our facilitators for conducting these sessions for us and giving us such a wonderful opportunity.

7 Habits – Gratitude for Life Class

Finally we have finished life classes now. Happy because 9 days were full of fun, great learning experience, better understanding of different perspectives of different minds. Regardless of the fact that we are now moving forward with higher grades and new learning experience, still I feel to learn more in depth the habits which I have been through. I feel the 9 days spent over are even less for more and wide understanding of the book. Also sad because the same facilitators are not going to conduct love class 🙁

Well, apart from what I feel, I have a great learning experience of 7 habits, which somewhere or the other by its own implies in my life. One of the best habit which I like a lot and on which I always repeat to read is “Be proactive”. It not only helped me intellectually to become aware of choosing my stimulus and respond accordingly, but also helped me emotionally when circumstances arises around. Situations may come and go, whether it is bad or good, but you do get a freedom to choose your response for the stimulus you get from the experience of outside world. Another thing which I liked a lot is to “Be”, it helped to improve my work(any work I do) efficiency as from now “I don’t have to do it” but instead “I prefer to do it”. And that is why now what I prefer, I do it 100% anyway :). and the best part is, differentiating my circle of influence and circle of concern around. I remember I listed out all my circle of influence and concern in my diary and put my efforts to imply upon, well, implication here is bit difficult, but, that is what habit as to be which will last long inside us.

 

Another thing which influenced me a lot was prioritizing my work. What is important, what is not, what is urgent what is not, how to differentiate them and make a priority chart. I even shared to my facilitators that though I knew about this 4 blocks of priority, but never implied upon it. When we gone through the session, the very next day I did was making that same chart on Photoshop and get a print on A3 size paper and stick on my desk. I started sticking my notes on it based on prioritize and it was way very helpful. I took a snapshot and shared to my facilitators and just told them that its very awesome to imply such thing! Again repeating, end result may not be that different like, even after prioritizing work, I might have ended up working after deadline. But that is fine I guess, it surely works more effectively. 🙂

 

Very grateful for the life class by fountainhead, and happy and grateful for most amazing Facilitators Ravi sir and Shraddha ma’am 🙂

Life must go on…

These 9 days of life class were amazing. I learned a lot. It has changed my perspective to look at life. I have started applying the learning of life class in my life. Time management and prioritizing my work helped me the most. Thank you Shraddha ma’am and Ravi Sir to share your real life experiences. Both of you were amazing mentors. As I am discontinuing working with FS I will miss the opportunity to attend the next Love Class. But Life Class was an amazing experience.

My Journey of Life Classes and How I changed myself.

First of all I would like to thank to Fountainhead School  for such a session where they want the growth of the person. Before this class I was totally blank about Life Classes but when I joined, I was so inspired and got to know myself personally. I started to implement the 7 habits in my life and I came to know from my family that after joining this school you are a changed person in every area you are confident, you listen carefully, you have changed your thinking. I am thankful to my facilitators Ritu ma’am and Suruchi ma’am for facilitating the  Life classes.They both are cool and calm and helped me in every habit where I needed an example. It is a wonderful journey with guidelines,sharing and experiences.
