What I Achieved from PPD

Personal Progress Development

For the past two years in the university, Personal progress development sessions inspired us in a awesome way to identify ourselves, overcome challenges and improved our motivation and taught us to inspire and winning life challenges as well as industrial challenges when we goto the industry.

These sessions were helped me to develop strong mindset that could help me in different ways.

As most of the university students, also Myself I faced the problem of shyness when I talk in front of a bunch of people. That problem also solved because of these sessions.

Learning outcomes were also more helpful not only for the academics but the Industrial and personal life. 

It help us to think in different ways in different situations. 

PPD sessions were bring up to next level of personality for these two years.

It also help us to change the same boring vision of something that we looking at.

It was help to think realistically when we doing something.

It was helped to set our own milestones in specific, unique, measurable and realistic way.

In the PPD sessions we discussed lot of things. What should we do, and what we shouldn't. Pros and Cons, and live motivationally. 

All the activities add something new to my life. Each session was something new and fresh to learn.

As Software Engineering students, team work also more important to us. So the activities that we were guided by our loving Instructor Madam Sarasi, inspired us to work as team, but not the same team at all. As a team,  how to work with your team mates, how to respect other ideas, how to level up everyones ideas with other ideas by concentrating other ideas.

I believe that every each person has their identity. These PPD sessions were helped me to identify my own identity & improve it.

As a future employee Developing personal progress is just as important as each and every one of your employees interacting with your organization and representing your business externally. The self-image and the motivation of an individual play an important role when it comes to behaving, reacting and guiding others.

Thankful to our instructor, Ma'am Sarasi Senadhira for 4 semesters,

we had interesting, more joyful sessions, more advices, motivational speeches, and sometimes some masterful warnings and lovely time period with you. Sadly, with the end of this semester, we are ending up with our personal progress development.

And thank you again Madam Sarasi for your dedication,, enthusiasm and hard work. You are an inspiring guide to us.

Good luck to you on the next stage in your life. Without a doubt, you will continue to have success in all areas.

Trust Walk Activity

Madam Sarasi told us to Find a Blindfold and find a partner for this exercise.

Purpose:

This mission is designed to help you know how you feel when you trust someone else.

During the activity

We were able to analyze the role of the individual as publisher and receiver in the communication process.

Analysis of the influence of perception on effective interpersonal communication.

Demonstration and evaluation of the use and effect of verbal and non-verbal symbols in interpersonal communication.

Distinguish the various communication factors that improve or limit the effectiveness of communication in relational systems.

Use the appropriate listening styles and evaluate the importance of effectively listening to the contrast factors that contribute to the supportive and advocacy communication environment (eg, honesty, empathy, delivery) and involve support

Communication assesses the role of ethical standards in interpersonal communication and the implications of various relationship challenges

Stairs, where we stopped the curtain with the steps and where we stopped. There were white spots on the street, and if someone put a leg on them, they could fall. That's why they asked us to listen to the teacher. In the first round we had to follow the path and hit a rock. In the second round we had to hit two stones and concrete. In the first round, almost all the students wrote the piece with the correct instructions. But in the second round, some students forgot what to do. Some forgot to hit the stone after finding concrete blocks. 

Procedure was, 

1.This exercise is done in pairs.

Select a friend from the batch to be your partner for this exercise. It should not be someone you know very well.

One person will act as a guide for his/her partner, who is blindfolded and cannot see. 

2.     The guide’s task is to lead the “blind” follower around the environment, and stimulate as many of his/her senses as possible except sight (e.g. pressure, touch, heat, cold, wind, sun, running, walking, etc.). This exercise can be done indoors or outdoors, preferably both.

3.After about 15 minutes, change roles so that the guide is now blindfolded and repeat (not exactly) the exercise.

1. During the time you are being a guide, think about what you are doing or saying to communicate to your “blind” follower that you can be trusted, and when you could tell your partner trusted you.
2. During the time you are the “blind” follower, think about what your guide is doing or saying to develop trust with you (or, what the guide is doing or saying said that is making you feel less trusting of him/her

What we learned here was when we are working with the society, we have to work with many people, sometimes we have to trust people . But, as a person we have to be wise when handling them and trusting them. You may blind in different kind of ways rather than of blindfold. Listen to yourself, go through with your mind and work wisely will never fail yourself while trusting anybody
