Sharing my own personal experience.

Those are pretty impressive figures which span a broad range of professional and personal areas and all were achieved because i devoted time for my personal as well professional development.

When I received the invite for life class I was clueless about its purpose, what it is, and everything. I wasn’t cognizant that this could be a very comforting journey at the workplace. I met different people amidst this lockdown, though virtually but we got to know them. We started with an interesting introduction, relating ourselves, it was divine.

In our busy schedules where we were yearning for a break, a leave life class came to the rescue by taking all the stress away from us. Though it didn’t reduce the workload, it definitely contracted the pressure created out of the workload that we had. I find this a great gesture by the school for its employees.

It is only due to life class, I feel contented with my life; I feel grateful to the people around me. It made me realize how I can grow, and that is what a real class does. There few changes I tried to implement in my life, the first and foremost thing is that I seek to understand others first and then understood. I won’t say that I have completely changed yeah but that is a gradual change that I have observed. I lend my ears to people who have things to share. I used to be very talkative, but I think now I have turned out to be a communicator, as this not only involves speaking but listening too. Again thanks to life class.

There are a lot of things that could be said, but definitely, it helped. One way life class helped us is to make me plan my tasks better and complete tasks before the deadline.

7 habit life classes have helped me a lot to understand different perspectives. My thoughts and actions towards other people and my own life have now changed in a very positive manner. Before reacting to any situation I think from another’s perspective. I have learned to manage my personal and professional life balance and being more proactive. Instead of being judgmental and misunderstanding, I have learned to be an empathetic and understanding person. Especially the death activity has taught me to think for long-term planning instead of quick and short-term planning. This is a wonderful platform where people can share their problems and open their hearts without being judged. The feeling of having someone to listen to and getting empathy is priceless.

Life classes at fountainhead school has been a wonderful journey. It has made me open-minded, helped me understand life and most importantly value people. One thing that I loved is about the deposits and investments in a person’s life. This has also helped me bond with the people in my life.

Year 2020 marks my entry in FS as a Career Counselor. Just a month had gone since I joined, when the pandemic put the world in a fix. No one had ever thought that such a challenge would be coming up. But it’s already the end of the year and we all have been working from our homes since March. During this entire time, I learned my roles and responsibilities as a career counselor and FS culture. I saw myself learn new technological tools, new ways of communicating better, team-work and better time management. Every evening when I saw myself perform as per my expectations, I had a sense of satisfaction and also huge gratitude that I had a job during this pandemic and a good support system. This was also the time when I got to be a part of the Life Classes. The way FS emphasizes on following the Bible of efficient work and effective people (The book- 7 habits of Highly effective people), is commendable. The very foundation of FS people ought to be so strong that no doubt it is a great place to be associated with. The founders, staff, teachers, facilitators plan and work together so efficiently that we could deal with this pandemic with flying colors. I can easily say that we could transition to online mode of education just because all of us believed in being prepared beforehand. The life classes provide great mental stability to handle unforeseen situations. I am looking forward to a New Year with a hope to work in school and to interact with everyone like we used to. Fingers Crossed!
