Annual reflection Insights
Saranya had posted some insights from having reviewed our year with the annual reflection and review form. Once all the seniors had filled out the forms we made the review a workshop of sorts where Sanjeev had a conversation with one of us to help others understand the questions and the different lenses to look at the last year. Over three weeks we reviewed the last year and came up with what we would like to accomplish this year. We worked across teams to break silos of only working with the same people everyday. Here are some insights we had on doing our reviews.
Sanjay Tumati:
I do different activities including work and teaching. When I meditate, I am able to switch activities and interruptions easily. When I spend time on an activity we can either get exhausted or go into a zone where we get better results. When we take breaks it can break the flow, but meditation can bring us back to where we were or sometimes even come up with a better solution.
Pratap
I learnt each question is checking my integrity. For things I did well I don’t rejoice and for things I was out of integrity I don’t feel sad. I just noticed. This exercise helps me to see my gaps and I work on my gaps. It helps me to see where and how I can take the organization forward.
Glasika
I have a feeling of accomplishment by noticing what I did last year. I also noticed the missing parts. In courage to create, I relooked at it and found that the missing part was myself and being creative about self care. It reminded me that when I am uncomfortable, I can use it as my growth space. The review gave me granularity so that I am able to see things as they are to do something rather than leaving it as a general feeling.
Rajesh
I was able to differentiate my last year into two halves. The first one was before I joined the Shifu program and this was not progressive and the other whenI joined BNB Shifu program and I found myself progressive. When I was progressive, I was able to learn in a way that it will last. I have learnt to see the gaps and work on it.
Arun
It helped me to notice and see how I progressed in last year. RTL helped to still myself and notice rather than judge. I learned not to give up easily. I need to work on my concentrated mind. When I see my progress I do more. When I see myself in others I feel inspired.
Sivaraman
I found myself whole and it helped me to find gaps. I plan to work on my gaps to observe if I am moving towards my goal in life.
Meganathan
My name is Meganathan and I deeply care about courage, love and equality for myself and others. After doing the annual review I feel accomplished, moving forward in my growth to next step and understand about the real time math problems and worked with children to use materials for learning.
Duraisamy
I feel accomplished that I supported children in understanding mathematical concepts in day-to-day life. And children can apply mathematics in Real-time problems. We designed a new curriculum for the B. Voc computer programming and machine learning program, partnering with AIAT. These syllabuses will meet the industrial requirements to full fill their needs. I feel myself being part of the stem land to support multiple youths and children for their growth. I look forward to the new opportunity for everyone.
Sandhiya
Only when I revisited my last year came to know that I have learnt many things. I feel accomplished that I was able to update the school software after 3 years for both Udavi and Isai ambalam. I was able to support my team members at work. I was able to mentor two Shifuians. I am able to handle more than 3 clients in a day in testing. I found it as a new experience to handle my work as well as take care of my daughter and I learnt that I am able to do both.
