Over two weekends, I had the privilege of conducting workshops with students, where we delved into a range of topics, like goal-setting approaches, design thinking, conflict resolution, community engagement project planning, etc.

This experience further solidified my faith in the impact created by investing in leadership education at the school level. By fostering these abilities early on, we are nurturing socially responsible and empathetic leaders who will undoubtedly shape a brighter future.

Here’s to nurturing leadership for a brighter tomorrow!

Rishihoods Leadership Curriculum has been a great journey for our students so far. There are many students who are already doing well wrt to leadership skills but with this program, they have unfolded their new capacities which were not known to them earlier. Similarly, students, who lacked confidence, have developed enough confidence. The topics of this program are well curated keeping in mind the need of current generation.

This leadership program is well developed as per the need of our school. It fits well with our school’s vision “To develop socially conscious Bharatiya citizens of tomorrow who will provide enlightened leadership in all walks of life.” This program will help students in all walks of life and inspire them to become more productive and active citizens of the country.

The leadership program has been a remarkable journey, broadening our horizons beyond communication and body language. It delves into the intricacies of our country’s economy, instilling in us vital leadership qualities, confidence, and refined communication etiquettes. This program has been a catalyst for our holistic personal growth.

Since joining, I’ve not only become more open-minded but also embraced the practice of journaling, which has added another layer of self-awareness to my journey. I credit these transformative changes to our professionally adept and approachable mentors. Their commitment to ensuring that everyone has a voice and valuing every perspective is truly commendable.
