“Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.” — Margaret J. Wheatley. Meaningful experiences of past help building you up. I had great experiences during my Amal Fellowship. Here I want to mention one of the most meaningful and exceptional reflections. I had a one on one meeting with my project manager, Sir Noor Alam. He has great leadership and mentorship abilities. I was facing the problem of finding the right path toward my goals. We had a wonderful discussion on professional careers. To achieve my goal of securing admission in Masters in Germany, he gave me advice of How to clear the IELTS exam, write a professional CV and motivational letter, prepare for an interview, and how to build confidence. He elaborated all the steps to take. He responded to my question in a very friendly manner. I was able to understand the actions that are required to achieve the goal.
The reason why this meetup has had a great impact on me is that it has changed my way of thinking and I am able to align my path of working. It has increased my confidence as He motivated me that I can do it. I clarified every actionable step. I am working on my speaking skills. I am watching English channels to improve my vocabulary. I am trying to speak English with everyone to get out of my comfort zone, and it has improved my confidence. He urged me to be positive in my approach and have his guidance whenever required. With his guidance I am able to do all this.
As I have improved my speaking skills, I am also giving advice to other people. I am feeling comfortable talking to others. People around me are also willing to talk with me in English. We are having constructive and meaningful discussions on improving interpersonal skills, how to find information, make plans, and work following the strategy. We are willing to help any person who wants to improve his professional skills.
Before that one-on-one session I was wondering what to do and how to do it. I was not able to devise a strategy for improving my English speaking, critical writing, confidence, and follow the procedure of application. After the session, I got the understanding of the right way to follow. I am practicing it and hope that I will achieve my goal Insha Allah. I salute Sir Noor Alam for his tenacity of purpose and outstanding leadership qualities. Thanking him for his words of encouragement and support. I will remain grateful forever.
