Category: 7 Habits Class

7 habits- life classes was the best experience I have ever had. Our facilitators, Shraddha ma’am and Ravindra sir gave us a great insight on how one can evolve by practicing all the habits. When I read the name 7 habits, I always wondered what it would be and how is it going to help me to achieve the things that I have always been repelling from myself. It seems as if the name is so ordinary but holds an extraordinary importance in our life. I learned about different paradigms and how we can let these paradigms not to influence our lifestyle. After the completion of one year of life classes, I have succeeded in developing a self confidence in myself because of which I have started attracting positive things towards me. Last but not the least, I’m highly grateful to FS to provide us such an amazing opportunity along with amazing facilitators, to guide us through and help us evolved immensely.

Way to go FS!! 🙂

Our life doesn’t just happen, it has to be designed by and molded accordingly by us. This is the very first time I have attained such Class which is for personal development. Through this journey of life class I have got a privilege to see life through a different perspective, to understand the situation and people before judging, to know the importance of the 4 Quadrants in life and manage work accordingly which I’m completely following. Through this platform I got a chance to know more people and witness their life closely and understood how simply being an empathetic listener can heal lots of emotions.

I’m thankful to my facilitator Shraddha Ma’am and Ravindar Sir to explain the motive and purpose of this life class, to give real life examples which helped us to connect well with some of our life situations. The whole aura of the life class was so positive that it actually made us all share our deepest and the darkest secrets with our peer participants. There were tears of joy and sadness too but those moments brought us all together as one.

To sum it up, all I can say is “Responding is better than Reacting to the situation in life.”

The best part of being in Fountainhead School is the personal development. There is no doubt with respect to professional development, but when it comes to personal development, it is also focused.

1st year teachers have to attend the Life Class based on 7 Habits by Stephen Covey. They have nothing to do with our professional work related things. It’s like having a refreshing break from the busy schedule of our jobs. For me, these habits are a key to a balanced life. Throughout the life class, there have been a lot of amazing personal sharing, not only by the participants but also by the facilitators. Hearing all the varied kinds of experiences makes you learn so much. It doesn’t stop there, its also a step ahead in knowing your work community better.

When I joined  Fountainhead, I was lost in my professional work so much so that I didn’t have time for my personal work. These life classes have helped me priorities my tasks while keeping the end in mind. This has helped me balance my personal and professional life. It has also made me realize that one must focus on personal well-being. As a result of which, I have started working out and controlling my food habits – focusing on physical well being. I have also started reading a book and doodling, which focuses on my spiritual well-being.

I would like to thank Fountainhead School and the facilitators for giving such an amazing experience and learning.

I am really thankful to Fountainhead school for conducting such type of classes. I learned a lot and shifted my paradigm for certain things. I was able to make real life connection and am trying to apply the learning.

We must spend our time on things that are important and not just the ones that are urgent. To do this, and to minimize the stress of having too many tight deadlines, we need to understand this distinction.- Put first thing first

After the Life Classes I started being proactive like meeting my deadline well before the time which makes work more easy and keep me stress free.- Be proactive

I was not really looking forward for this life class ,as I thought it would be very heavy and boring. But to my surprise , I thoroughly enjoyed the class as it had very good activities which made it interesting and involved us . I had good self-realization where small changes in life can make big difference .

This also gave us an opportunity to bond with other teachers from across the school and broaden our horizon by listening through everyone’s experiences.

All in All it was a great learning and if applied can definitely help us in our life.

This was the first time that I went through any motivating self development class. Life class has been very useful and have managed to apply the learnings in my daily routines. Have managed to make many friends that will stay with me for a long time.

The life class has impacted the way I approach my life.

Certain paradigm shifts that I experienced and learned a lot from others experience.

Happy to be part of it.

 

Thanks

I am thankful to FS for providing these wonderful 9 days and making me think about my life. I am thankful to the facilitators (Ms. Tasnim Batliwala and Ms. Mitali Shah) who guided us in the right direction throughout this journey. Also, thankful for the efforts of all staff to make these days successful. I would conclude my learning as follows:

3 things that I liked –

1. Sharing our personal and professional life with complete strangers and hearing about the same from them.
2. Finding out the answers to all the WHY’s of our life.
3. Creating a strong bond with the members ending up in friendships for the lifetime.

2 things that I implemented – 

1. All the habits that are discussed elaborately in life classes have an impact on our lives. To be specific, I have understood the importance of listening. So, I am trying to become an empathetic listener to increase my Emotional Bank Account.
2. After attending the life classes, I have understood the importance of LIFE. I have become more attentive towards my body, mind, and soul. Now, I often listen to them.

1 thing that I need to improve – 

1. Begin with the end in mind. I still need to improve my thinking skills to foresee the results of my actions. I want to achieve excellence in planning things and implementing them on time.

 

With gratitude and warm regards,

A famous quote says that, “A man is known by the company he keeps”. This quote becomes significant in the context of our life class sessions on 7 habits. These classes not only gave us an opportunity to be in the company of people who opened up new avenues of thinking for us but also taught us the value of inculcating and pursuing habits which are essential to be an effective personality. Having such habits will not only benefit us as an individual, but will also have a positive influence on the people around us.

To be honest, I enjoyed these classes from day 1 as it gave us an insight about our own life and others too. It taught us that how we all are different as individuals and how everyone is fighting their own battle. It also taught us what kind of sacrifices we have made and how much we all have suffered to reach to a point where we all are right now. Having said that, the best part of these classes is to get to know that despite all these there is always a silver lining in every cloud and all the hardships has an end. We all just need to have a different approach towards life and few changes in our habits and mindset will definitely take us to a long destination.

I would particularly like to say that these classes were a huge factor for our individual and professional growth. Sometimes we all get stuck as a person and don’t know what to do and which path to follow, but now we are confident that we have a tool in our hand in the form of right habits and practices which will definitely serve us to take an informed and correct choice. The hard work of our facilitators and active participation of all the members made these classes a huge success and we are thankful to the school to gave us this opportunity to participate and be a part of this learning expedition. In the end I would only say that it’s not  the end of the life classes but a new beginning of inculcating and practicing the habits and values learned in real life. It is the time to apply everything practically to become an effective and morally sound individual.

I really appreciate Fountainhead School to make us learn 7 habits which is very useful in our personal and professional life.The principles are easy to understand but difficult to apply and practice. I have learned a lot in this classes and tried to implement in real life.

Over a year I have laughed, made more friends at workplace for first time and wanted to be connected with them. I have also become responsible for my health and well-being.

I would like to thank the facilitators Tasnim Ma’am and Mitali Ma’am for motivating and guiding us through out the classes.

Overall, it was a good experience !!!

The day I saw the book ” The 7 habits of highly effective people”, my first reaction was like, Oh No! Do I have to read all these pages !! But, when the classes began, it was really an amazing experience. We laughed, we cried, we shared our life experiences.

Whenever we were informed to watched movies, I always thought that this movie is watched by everyone, why is it been shown again!!! But, believe me whenever I watched the movie, the movie was same, the characters and dialogues were same, but the only thing different was my perspective to watch the same movie from a different angle.

These classes were really helpful not only professionally but personally. Many of my paradigms have shifted which has changed my way of living totally. There were moments where we wrote sorry and thank you letters to our loved ones. It was really a wonderful experience. I still remember the death exercise when the all the members had tears in their eyes but it had such a positive impact on my life, where I always think about the end in my mind before initiating anything.

Shraddha Ma’am and Ravindra Sir brought life to classes. Thank you so much for enlightening our learning and providing us the opportunity to attend such classes. The moments lived in these classes will always be cherished by me.

 

Overall It was AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE….!!!!
