The Power of “I”- The core essence of the workshop was to get to feel good about one self and to reiterate the fact that almost everything that affects an individual, he or she is solely responsible for it. |
|
| |
| Prof .C Balaji, took all students through a transformational process which helped one loosen up and prepare for the core part of the workshop. After the initial exercise, the feedback session suggested that Batch -12 students felt relaxed and saw a pleasant change in themselves. |
|
| |
The latter half of the workshop was an interactive and experience sharing session, in which the students sat back and realised that by changing the way one thinks and perceives things, one can actually make his /her life better. They learnt that ‘to ASPIRE for something that has value in life and then working towards its success is the right approach to make it big in life’. The examples and anecdotes that Prof. Balaji used were indeed very practical and the students came out of the session with a great amount of positivism. The batch appreciated the session and felt it was indeed a great way to start their placement training sessions. |
