Take Charge!

This is a program which shall guide participants to take responsibility for their future by the choices they make and the goals they set. The program begins by preparing the participants to be aware of their potential and to appreciate life as it is. By realizing this, participants will be ready to make massive shifts towards personal excellence. Participants will then be taken on a journey of self-discovery about the different roads they take and the choices they make in life. Every journey has its hardships and the program will explain how these hardships are meant to shape and give direction to one s experience in life. At the end of the section, participants will learn to clarify their goals to make them more practical and achievable. Only when one s goals are crystal clear, can one know what to do and how to do it. One cannot achieve one s goal alone. We need to work with the people around us to do that. However, most people do not communicate effectively with people resulting in a host of issues, both personal and teamwork. Hence, the next section of the program specifically addresses interpersonal communication using a specific tool, which incorporates verbal and non-verbal communication. By strengthening the participants means of communication, the next section of the program focuses on what it means to work with the people around them. They will appreciate how a team functions at its best when team members make individual sacrifices. They will also understand how finger pointing kills team spirit and what working together really means in the true sense of the word. Acknowledging the fact that most hours of a day spent by a working individual is at the work place (in the case of a student, in his/her studies), the next section of the program deals about how the participant could make most of their respective working environment to achieve individual excellence. Participants will be made aware that they are not simply employees serving an employer/company (or just students in a learning institution), but the relationship between the two runs deeper still. By being aware and grounded in this relationship, the participants will learn to appreciate their life even more. In the final section of the program, the participants will put their learning down into paper to develop a personal actionable plan. This is to ensure that any learning the participants have is put immediately into practical use in their respective personal lives and professions. This program is also often known as Program Pilihan Saya! or Program Kecemerlangan Diri . It can be conducted in Bahasa Malaysia and English.
