CARMEL CONVENT HIGH
SCHOOL – KALAMBOLI, STUDENTS’ LEADERSHIP
July 18: Seventy Student Leaders from Carmel Convent High School,
Kalamboli, today participated in a three hour long Leader-shift Program titled ‘Leading
By Values”. The students were taken through a few moments of fantasy meditation
and a relaxation therapy by Mr. Rochwyn Fernandes.
He then introduced Fr. Glenford
Lowe to the young Leaders. From the outset, the Leaders were invited and
challenged to make a ‘Leadershift’ in their ‘Leadership Style’.” Unless you
have the courage to change your words and your thought patterns, ‘Leadershift’
will be impossible to attain”, Fr. Glenn said.
Through a number of dynamic group
exercises, practical examples, one on one sharing, deep personal reflections
and creative insights into new ways of being Leaders today, the young Leaders
found an interactive way of learning new skills in Leadership. The points that
were touched upon were: The Depth in Self Awareness, the Power of Personal and
Group Vision, the Fruitfulness in SMART Planning, the Strength in TEAM building,
the Energy in Innovation and Creativity, the Sharing of Responsible Delegation,
The Clarity in Conflict Management and Seeking Solutions, the Value in Managing
One’s Time, the Nourishment in Daily Self-Renewal and the Difference in Leaving
a Sacred Legacy.
Three
hours spent in useful discovery and knowledge of Leadership for today. You don’t
have to be a LOST GENERATION, start afresh and move on with courage, passion
and purpose to make a ‘Leadershift’. This was a leadership program with a
difference
