The start of a new academic journey brings with it its own set of apprehensions and challenges.
No matter the age, a new beginning is always exciting but, at the same time, slightly nerve-wracking. To ease this transition for its new students, the Lexicon Management Institute of Leadership Excellence organized a 2 Week induction before the start of the academic sessions.
Over 23 Speaker and Accomplished Leaders from across the world and varied backgrounds worked with the students during the 2 Week program to kick off their 2-year journey in Believing in Themselves and Setting them up for success. Speakers flew in from the United Kingdom, Italy, UAE, and India to add to the student journey.
The critical area of focus for the speakers was to set the tone for the student journey, give them a perspective on the life ahead, and a fantastic opportunity to network. The International Speakers Andrew Thompson, Academic Head – University of South Wales, UK, connected on the importance of globalization and how ‘Culture’ is the key to success for any organization. Stefano Pelle, Founder and Director of SP Associates Management Consultants, connected the dots between Leadership, Networking, Business, and Golf. Sameer Soni and Nitin Kalra from the UAE emphasized ‘bringing out the best in oneself’ and ‘Brand Development and Licensing‘, respectively.
From the session on how Guinness Book Record Holder P Mahadevan can enhance one’s memory to Leadership insights on Taking Risks by Mr. Sakaar Anand, India Head and Head of HR at BMC Software, the students got excellent access and learnings. All the speakers added their perspectives with the interactions between Ashwani Chaloo, CEO at Kshitij Management Consultant, and Craig Wedge, Founder & Managing Director of Reserve Wines Pvt Ltd, and the students bought out exciting conversations with a background on financial ethics, personal ethics, and honesty.
Through a very personalized one-on-one interaction with students, Mr. Pankaj Sharma, President – Of the Lexicon Group of Institutes and Chairman & MD, Pune Mirror, Civic Mirror & MultiFit, introduced the importance of values and then followed it up with a deep dive into Learning Strategies and how one can leverage more than eight tools to enhance the learning journey.
The 8th Chokyang Palga Rinpoche was all about finding inner peace and leveraging that for success. Understanding various leadership traits and emotional and spiritual intelligence were thoroughly enjoyed. His Eminence also graced the program. He was supported by Dr. Ruhee Shekhar, who bought out the importance of yoga and chakra healing to help students chart out a plan on how to connect with themselves. The program is unique as companies come in to pick up students within the first week, and based on the potential and program that Lexicon MILE delivers in setting up the students as Leaders and Entrepreneurs. 8 Students got placement offer from Searchbourne Consulting in their first week of joining the course.
“The key for me is to ensure that students get aligned and understand the journey they are about to embark upon. At Lexicon MILE, it is critical that other than academics, we focus on the value setup and system, ethics, integrity, commitment, and most importantly, the mindset of ‘believing in themselves. A lot of effort and time goes into working with the students to set themselves up for success and their integration into the Lexicon Family culturally. The induction is also a great opportunity for the students to network and enhances their social net worth’
Nasir Shaikh, Group CEO – The Lexicon Group of Institutes, MultiFit, and EduCrack.
