On Sunday 5th Feb a whole day interactive workshop, "PRATHAM - the 
			first step" was held at St. Francis Institute, Borivli for the team 
			2012-13. 
			
			The workshop was inaugurated by PDG Shrirang Prabhu. His inaugural 
			speech was very motivating. He mainly emphasized on importance 
			of team and 8 steps 
			of team building.
			
			We were also fortunate to have the able guidance of AG designate 
			Yusuf Lanewala, who was present throughout the program.
			 
			The workshop was conducted by well qualified and renowned speaker 
			Mr. Bihag Lalaji. He conducted the workshop in very lucid manner 
			with lot of exercises which can help in goal setting, planning their 
			milestones and finally actions to be taken to achieve the desired 
			goal. 
			
			Entire group was divided in 5 teams namely Kuber (TRF), Seva 
			(Community Service), Sambandh (PR and Membership Development), 
			Roshni (Eye Bank) and Protsahan (Vocational Service) to focus on 
			respective area. All teams included two Past Presidents, Director 
			designate and one/two members. 
 
		
			
 
		
			The 
			workshop began with SMART strategy ie setting a specific goal and 
			proceeded with planning, team 
			building, role setting, delegation, action, 
			risk assessments,  and finally achieve the success of it. 
 
		
			
 
		
			
			It was totally different learning experience for all participants. 
			We are unaware of potential inside us and how to explore it, given 
			an opportunity. During different exercises, we could witness 
			innovative ideas and real team work. 
			
 
		
			
			Many new projects are planned and new goals are set by different 
			teams. We wish this session will help all present there to plan 
			their goal and achieve new height for Rotary Club of Borivli.
