challenged ourselves and participants to be at higher level of expectations

on 29 May 2017, the Team of Satyssparks conducted a Coaching Session Strengths-Based Development for the Professors of the PES Engineering College Phalton. It was conducted under the aegis of UNNATI at Bengaluru.

Here are excerpts of exchange of mails that took place after the session.

I wrote after the session

“The important aspects of our achievement were that initially when the participants were asked questions they were quite hesitant and not confident. As we moved forward their level of confidence increased exponentially. It was clearly visible during their narrations of strengths-based examples from their lives. And of course, it reached a high level during the presentation of their values. And it peaked out when they presented their behaviour as a professor and treatment they will give to students. The lessons that I drew are (i) if they present a concrete subject they will excel (ii) it will be the better if these pertain/related to their profession/exposure (iii) and the best if they have mulled over it in the form of drawing/discussion in the group.

The second aspect that we learnt is that we challenged ourselves to be at higher level of expectations and challenged participants to a higher level of expectations and both they and we performed to a level higher than expectations.

The third important aspect that we saw, the addition of flavour to the entire event by UNNATI Gurus -- Girija, Alpa, Kanthi and Charu. Quotes from their experiences were great motivators to the participants.

According to me, we all did marvellous work yesterday. It was an extra ordinary effort that Maximized the output to 99.99999 %.

The session was judiciously packaged, powerfully delivered and equally well absorbed by the participants. They are on their way towards becoming Great Teachers using strengths based techniques which they learnt.

The sharing and interjections from Unnati faculty (Girija, Alpa, Kanthi and Charu) enriched the participants learning. Many thanks for your outreach.

The case exercise done in an environment of Teacher - Student development using strengths techniques was a novel way of consolidating the concepts learned and proved to be of immense benefit to the participants. Their participation was engaging and full of energy.

Enjoyed taking the sessions. The active participation from PES College faculty was the high point. Wish them well on journey towards excellence.

I loved the commitment, passion and value you great leaders bring to the session. The exercises done to engage the teams are brilliant! Am glad to be associated with master strength trainers such as you. True to your name you have sparked the lives of young profs and their outlook to their career as teachers and leaders. Am also grateful to UNNATI for their commendable work in the field of education and skill building.
