Positive Reflection
“Learn to trust the journey, even when you do not understand it. Sometimes what you never wanted turns out to be what you needed.”
When I started my Amal Journey I didn’t know that Amal has so much to offer. Of all those amazing courses and online sessions the one which had the most impact on me was the online course ‘Everyday Leadership: How to Lead Without Authority”.

The course introduces to us Leadership is a choice we make, Life-Long Learner, Fixed vs Growth Mindset, and conflict management. The one who had the most impact on me was the Fixed Vs Growth Mindset.
The reason it impacted me was that I used to believe that you are born with some skills and you just have to improve them. Developing a new skill is a difficult task and takes a lot of time. But this changed my belief and I realized that you can develop any skill you want and that doesn’t require a lot of time. By implementing this I was able to learn some new skills and improve myself.
Looking back these three months had a great impact on me and are probably the best three months of my life. If I had known this before I would have been much better. However, thanks to Amal I was able to realize this early in my career. I will try to remember this and implement it throughout my life.
“You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By becoming a little better each and every day, over a period of time, you will become a lot better.” — John Wooden
