Dear All,
Jai Jhoolelal
BLC organized a motivational session called
‘Growing Into What Is Possible’, with NLP practitioner, coach and trainer, Amit
Punjabi, of Sankalp Academy.
Amit set the mood by showing a 10-minute
video of a woman called Amy Purdy who fought against all odds, and made her
weakness her strength to be a winner.

It was interesting to see the ladies of BLC being so energetic and participating with gusto to every question thrown to them by the confident and engaging Amit.
He started by making every one list their
strengths, then their weaknesses. It was quite a sight to see the ladies
scribbling away at their pads. For many of the ladies, it was a first of its
kind talk and they took to it very well.
In the next hour Amit got volunteers to share their weaknesses and showed them effective ways of converting them to strengths. He prescribed a three-step approach:
In the next hour Amit got volunteers to share their weaknesses and showed them effective ways of converting them to strengths. He prescribed a three-step approach:
- Be open to making mistakes, remember a child who falls and just gets up and goes about running again.
- Look at failures as feedback to be used to improve.
- Be excited about what you want to achieve.
Only if we grow into possibilities can we
achieve what we want. Thus we first need to imagine or think of what we want to
do or achieve. Then we need to feel excited, and charged about it and then we
need to take appropriate actions to achieve it.
He ended the session with another video, of
an 84-year-old woman dancing, jumping, and spinning with a young man of 25.
This video effectively drove home the point that age, health etc are excuses
and blocks. If you really want something and are passionate about it, you will achieve
it, no matter what.
