All of us strive to be excellent at what we do, but it so happens that most often we lose focus on our goals. As a teacher we would have multiple things to juggle with in life but the pressure and stress can take the better of us. We lose confidence in ourselves and in turn doubt everybody around us. And it so happens that our relationships with our spouse, parents, friends and associates suffer. This was exactly why there was a need for a Personality Development Workshop. The three day workshop conducted on the 1st, 2nd and 4th of July 2014 addressed the issues that we as student-teachers were currently facing and to prepare us for the roles and responsibilities that we would be taking up as teachers.

Our Facilitator, Ms. Aparna Ponnappa – Head, Redd Network took us through these three days covering various aspects relating to the importance of having an inspiring personality and its impact on our personal and professional lives. Some of the topics that she covered included, competencies for educators, role modelling, the journey to excellence, time management, team work, high impact communication, connecting with students, trust, passion and compassion, happiness and gratitude.
