(25thAugust – 27th August, 2021)
JIMS Rohini, Delhi organized a Managerial development program on “Attitude decides altitude: Change begins from within”for senior managers of Punjab & Sindh Bank. The workshop started on 25th August. The resource people for the day were Ms. Suneel keswani and Dr. Neha Shukla along with Ms. Sonal Pahwa.
The day started with a warm introduction and welcome by Dr. J K Goyal. His inspirational words were rejuvenating and revitalizing for all the attendees and gave a kick start to the event.
First session was with Prof. Suneel Keswani about how to grow and move ahead in life with a positive attitude in mind. He also gave insight that having consistency and discipline is most important part of life. If they keep doing the right things with a positive mind-set, things will move in the right way. Another value he shared was that you can’t change others mind-set or their actions in a situation but not letting it impact them deeply is what they should think. He told everyone to be happy and smile in every situation and greet everyone with happy and smiling face as it not only makes their day but also the person in front of them and maybe after that he/she would always remember you and your positive attitude.
The second session was with Dr. Neha Shukla along with Ms. Sonal Pahwa. It was an interactive session wherein ma’am discussed about everyday challenges that participants come across in their work and how it affects their entire day. The feeling of sitting ideal the entire day without doing anything productive is what frustrates most of them. For many of them, the only mantra to deal with this is diverting their mind and being calm and composed and just think positive about what they are doing. For many of them their job has actually helped them to be more interactive and communicate better. They had a point of view that if their job doesn’t excite them, it is not actually made for them and it is very important to love the work they are doing to make it most productive and efficient
After this discussion, an activity was conducted to refresh the minds of participants and bring out creativity hidden in them. In this activity they were asked to make a tower out of limited amount of newspaper and other material like lights,stickers, etc. This was an activity done in groups so that all of them interact with each other and bring out something creative. The best part was when a group member from each group was inter-changed with other after the entire discussion. Basically, the purpose of this entire activity was to see the leadership skills, communication skills, adaptability, creativity and other qualities of all the individual participants.
