Apart from this, culturally savvy leaders utilise mentoring as a strategy for generating success in challenging times. At SOIL, every student is assigned a leader from the corporate world as a mentor. This can be a very energising process, as the mentor helps the student, sometimes for the first time, work towards achieving their learning goals. In fact, the mentor-mentee relationship becomes so strong that it lasts a lifetime and is not just limited for that year.
The faculty is at the core of SOIL’s strength. An eclectic mix of internationally renowned faculty, experienced industry leaders and academicians help create a transformational learning experience for us that is contemporary and comprehensive. Above all, our faculty mentor and guide our students through their one-year programs at SOIL and very often post the completion of the program as well. It is no surprise then, that the students and alumni share an emotional bond with our faculty.
And as I started my journey which is now in the last few months and about to conclude, I would just say that this has been the best decision of my life. Time just flew by being involved in a number of things like study groups, case studies, assignments, presentations, clubs, committees, cultural events, Olympics, group discussions, interviews and just WHAT NOT! A demanding course with a plethora of subjects has not dampened our spirits but has led us wanting more. And it's not just all about studying. It’s about a whole new experience of living and working together with no time to spare.
We learned to manage time, work in teams, the importance of collaborations, multitasking to count a few.
It just feels like yesterday when all of us came together for the orientation trying to know each other, breaking the ice and how the months have evolved us completely. At this point, we not only know each other but constantly work to improve each other and apply the best out of our learning concepts.
Alongside a tight schedule, we do find time to be a part of various events like celebrating Guru Purnima, Karma Kitchen, Soil Olympics and various other events.
Every subject is a completely new experience for us and the best part is our learnings which happen through groups, the way each one of us helps and maintain a healthy competition is one of the best ways to understand and deep dive and get the best out of it.
The program office keeps us on toes with a number of exams that come up each time a course if finished. It indeed is the best feeling, to witness our tremendous progression.
It is also rightly said, ‘When you love what you do, the work is no more work but a passion’ and here at SOIL, I see it happening right in front of eyes. The intense course structure is exhaustive but we are enjoying the learning and at the same time trying to practically imply all the classroom teachings in the real life scenario.
