Category: 7 habits & Love

First of all I would like to thank the school for organizing such wonderful and transformative life classes. It was truly an amazing experience. Also to the facilitators Ravindra Agrawal Sir and Vaishali Patel ma’am who put their heart and soul to make this life classes a success! These life classes aimed to empower us with valuable insights and practical tools that will elevate our personal and professional life.

We explored the power of being proactive. We learned to shift from a reactive mindset to one where we take full responsibility for our actions and choices. They made us understand that we have control over our responses to any situation and can overcome obstacles with confidence and determination.

With the second habit, the facilitators encouraged us to craft a clear vision for our life. We discovered our core values and long-term goals. By visualizing our desired outcomes, we created a mission statement that aligned our actions with our aspirations, providing a sense of purpose and direction in everything we do.

Time is a precious resource, and how we utilize it impacts our success. With the third habit we delved deeper into the art of prioritization. We learned the techniques to distinguish between urgent and important tasks by the four quadrant “Prioritization Matrix’, which will in future help us to focus on what truly matters. We learned that by mastering the art of time management, we can boost productivity, reduce stress, and achieve greater work-life balance.

By the end of these life classes, we felt equipped to implement these life-changing habits and unlock our full potential.

 

My first life class. It was amazing and refreshing 2 days where we tried to introspect our emotional and mental being. With some heartwarming questions and some harsh truths we surpassed the 2 days as a group with ease. It just did not focus on our professional development but also our individual growth that was need of the hour. We had sharing that helped us reveal our own truths and sometimes it even helped us in unraveling the actual meaning of the question.

Our mentors opened their hearts out so that it was easy for us to pour our minds and hearts with information and valid examples for the benefit of the group as whole. All in all it was a beautiful break from the mundane tasks with positive energy and hopeful future with a better version of ourselves. I am indeed grateful for the beautiful start of this journey with new perspectives and new horizons.

I had an incredible time during the 7 Habit+Love Class. It was a journey of self-discovery, and I learned valuable lessons that have positively impacted my life. One crucial aspect was being proactive, which taught me that I have the power to control my responses to challenges, boosting my confidence. Time management was a game-changer, helping me set clear goals and utilize my time more efficiently.
Additionally, the sessions covered the significance of the 7 habits of highly effective people, such as integrity and character, which play vital roles in achieving genuine success. We explored paradigm shifts, emotional bank accounts, and embracing differences, fostering a synergistic atmosphere.

I was a part of the Delta, led by Utsav Sir & Wilmont Sir.

It was a very fun-learning space that I got to share with my colleagues. Although I knew all the content’s crux, I got to look at it again and reflect on my current situation. My paradigm that ‘because I know the content, I will get bored’ got shifted.

I really liked the idea of starting the sessions with some activity always. That increased the fun and connectivity element in our sessions. The sharing done by everyone could help me connect to the session topics in further detail. Somehow, connecting with the speakers as well. During the session, there were a lot of times when I felt like sharing my situation, but couldn’t get myself to talk about it. Maybe, I will get the courage to do so next time.

Even though I knew the concept of Proactive behavior, the reflection on my trigger points helped me get to the core of my current situation. Because of this I also had a self-realization moment. And now I plan to work on it. I could constantly connect one of the sessions about classroom management (done in training), with the ‘between stimulus & response’ activity. Furthermore, the website used to make the mission statement was very useful. I feel I would want to give a little more time to that in my me-time. Lastly, I am very interested in the EBA concept, and a revision of the same, was something I am grateful for.

Overall, in these 2 days, I got to revisit all the concepts again, where I could reflect based on my current understanding and situation. Which made the sessions more relevant to me. I got to have lots of learning. And with these new & deeper connections with my colleagues-now-friends, I had a sort of rejuvenating weekend. Seriously, can’t wait to attend the upcoming sessions.

Signing off,

The constant pursuit of a perfect life I yearned for was a never-ending competition filled with uncertainties and doubts. However, everything changed when I attended a life class focused on the 7 habits and love, which transformed my perspective completely. I learned the distinction between responding and reacting, enabling me to express myself more calmly and with fewer conflicts. The session charged up my already proactive nature. The concepts of the Circle of Concern and Circle of Influence helped me focus on what truly matters. “Begin with the end in mind” provided insight into having a vision and mission in life. Additionally, “Principle-Centeredness” emphasized that everything can be managed without sacrificing one’s priorities. Learning to “Put first things first” and understanding the importance of an “emotional bank account” were both immensely helpful as well.

Well conducted session by Ravi Sir and Vaishali ma’am.

I enjoyed it a lot and learned how important those things are, which were of the least concern for us. It was fun learning, the facilitators made it more engaging and involving, they said us their personal life experiences which built trust and we made a good connection with them. It felt like in the race of our lives we took a pause and shared moments of happiness and sorrow with each other. The group was also very participative where everyone was giving their input. I am looking forward to more such ‘Life classes’. Thanks to Utsav sir and Wilmot sir for making it so special.

Excellent !!
