She began with praising her work ‘Training’ and said she is passionate about it. She started the session with a question about the theme of the session ‘What’s Your Style’ and mentioned that everyone present in the session would be thinking about what style she is going to talk about? Would it be Hairstyle, dressing style, living style or what style? She unveiled that she is going to talk about the most important style which is ‘Learning Style’ and why it is important for everyone! She stated that a human brain is a machine. What you order, what you practice…brain will follow. All information enters our brain in three main ways: Hearing, Seeing & Touch. The one which we use more becomes our style. How do you understand, how do you comprehend, how do you access and how do you retain information becomes your learning style. As no one is the same, hence so is the learning style. Our Learning Style depends upon cognitive factors, emotional factors and environmental factors and any experience of our life. Did she toss a question to the audience, when exactly we started learning, which era? One of the participants answered that learning starts in the womb itself. She echoed with it and clarified that when we are in the womb, nobody trains us except God. Learning is an ongoing process, either one is a baby, toddler, pre-scholar, scholar, adolescent, teenager, youth and old aged. Every phase of our life teaches us new lessons and experience is the best teacher. Next, she talked about different types of learning and displayed a slide which mentioned ‘Life Cycle of a Butterfly’ which includes a process called metamorphosis, which involves four stages namely ‘from eggs, larva, pupa & finally into a butterfly’ and asked which is your favourite part of all these stages to which our host answered ‘Butterfly’. With this, she revealed that this is our first style of learning, known as ‘Visual Learning’. This learning style is followed by people who use maps, diagrams or pictures. She added that according to research, children in the age of 3-8 years begins to form. Children up to the age of 5 years create a blueprint in their minds. She added that although this is a great style as people feel the idea, create the story but this style has a weakness ‘Lack of visibility & vision’. The next slide had some pictures which she asked what are these? She revealed that with this she was checking observation. She came with another slide with a tongue twister and was told that this is another style of learning known as ‘Verbal or Linguistic Learning’. This learning style is followed by people who take the use writing, speaking, linguistic skills. The weakness of verbal learners is a lack of visualization (mind mapping). Next, she talked about ‘Kinaesthetic learning’. These are the people who are hyper learners. These people cannot sit at a place or stick to something for a longer duration as they want to feel, demonstrate rather than explain and may be a cause of distraction for others. She added that a learning style with the power of touch is more helpful in perceiving the information. She added that ‘Social Learning’ is another aspect and this is vital as socializing makes a powerful impact and she gave the example of Dr Gaurav Sharma who is very good at making the connection. She told that this is only possible with great interpersonal skills and how you connect and approach others. These people are great connectors and transfer beneficial knowledge. The only thing to be remembered here is that the communication here should not be mere gossiping. She highlighted that there are Solitary learners as well and they are the people who are independent, introspective and engage in self-learning. Last but not the least, she told about the Auditory Learners who are known for learning by hearing. These people love listening, reading, understanding things and hear information and respond best to the spoken instructions. The weakness of them to is visualization. While concluding the session, she asked the participants to reveal what kind of learner they are to which many participants responded. She also highlighted this session was dedicated to the ‘VAK’ model – Visual, Auditory & Kinaesthetic model. Learning is all about moving from ordinary to extraordinary. At last, Dr Ina Singh gave the vote of thanks to Dr Supriya Kumaravelan for giving her precious time on Thunderbolts and shared her insights on this vital topic – ‘What’s Your Style??’.

Parthiv Gohil, our very own Gujarati singer has come up Gujarati Jalso, presenting REFLECTIONS OF KUTCHH, a beautiful film that reflects the vibrant colourful refection of the prismatic white Kutchh, desert. Parthiv alongside his team has created a musical film shot in the white desert of Kutchh where our Gujarati artists have lent their beautiful voices and performed so graciously, artists like alap Desai, Bhoomi Trivedi, Chirag Vohra, Geeta Rabari, Hanif Aslam, Ishani Dave, Jahnvi Shrimakar, Jignesh Barot, Kala Varso musicians, Manasi Parekh Gohil, Nandy Sisters, Osman Mir, Parthiv Gohil, Sanjay Goradia, and the Siddi group. Pratik Gandhi has beautifully linked and correlated all the musical pieces through his words. Later on, Gujarat Tourism and Reliance foundation joined us for this noble cause. When asked about the idea, Parthiv said, “ The pandemic was a reason to a heavy disengagement of works happening for the artist community, hence I had decided to bring up something that would help to create a fundraiser with a cause. I had this idea in mind of creating a musical event or journey with our artists and slowly things began working and we had a bunch of renowned artists ready to join us in our small beginning and a small period we became an enormous team of 200 members representing Reflections of Kutchh our musical journey crafted into a film directed by Mahashweta Burma who just blew it off with the amazing visuals and colour palette full of spirits and life. Talking about the location he adds,” Kutchh is a place that has always fascinated me, the white rann, the tent city the vibes and the beauty of Kutchh itself celebrates life so and to our benefit very recently there were film awards that took place there so our artists were present at the very moment and up for our film, we had a schedule of 20 days which we wrapped up in just 3 days and this was noteworthy in itself, each member in the team worked enthusiastically and without any complaints. We had shot various scenes in the white rann in the daylight and scorching heat but our artists performed in the heat took different takes and their hard work has lighted our film with sparkles and joy.” Interestingly the musical film has already been released and screened overseas and a foundation in the States named Share & Care has raised an 8 lakh dollar fund for the pandemic relief and recovery through the movie screening. Talking about the audience reactions Parthiv adds,” We had an intention before making this film and it was all about raising funds for our community and we have successfully raised funds and the cherry on the cake was people coming out of the theatre smiling, there was a different smile on the audiences face and everyone took something from our film, in form of songs, visuals, colours, vibes. Those reactions made our hard work worth it and we wish more people to watch the film and celebrate our tradition.”

Noticing as a pattern in general people, there's always a fear when they contact lawyers. I think that happens because of a lack of knowledge. I however believe that statutes are accessible to everyone and it shouldn't be something to be scared of. Hence it's imperative to value relationships you have established with your Clients. Networking is becoming such an integral and important part of the legal community, particularly in a time where you don't see people face to face. Building a network of people is an effective part of community building. The scope of networking is so much broader now and you need to do endeavours that helps you connect with the right people. You need to know who your clients are and what are their needs? So, I have evolved a little bit in the past and LinkedIn is serving as such an amazing platform to engage with people. I have started reaching out to people and I found that by connecting with these people I started with community building.

Hi, I am Kerri Jesmer who is extremely grateful to Team Stay Featured for publishing this short write up. I’ve always written poems and stories from the time I was old enough to put words on paper. I’m not sure I was aware of what brought those words to me until I was in my sixth or seventh year of school. Then my older sister gave me a Ray Bradbury book to read titled, “I Sing the Body Electric”, filled with short stories he had written. And I fell in love with my first author. I read everything I could get my hands on by him. Later I discovered Orson Scott Card and C. S. Lewis, among others. What an incredible gift reading is, allowing us to travel the universe and everywhere in between. And what a joy it is to be a writer! I love seeing something that influences me and to create a story from a single word, a picture, an overheard comment or something I see when out for a walk, driving down a street, watching children play in a park. I’ve even created a story from the title of a book. One such story was from, A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry. From that, a distant cousin had mentioned that as his mom had aged, he’d started to tease her about being an ‘old raisin’ because of her many wrinkles. She’d been a heavy smoker and a sun worshipper who tanned frequently and her skin suffered the consequences. It wasn’t meant to be mean and she never took it that way. But I used the title of Ms Hansberry’s book and my cousin’s story to write a story of an old woman who had worked in the fields of her family farm her entire life in the early 1900s and as she sat and told her life’s story to her grandchildren, one of them noticed her face was almost as wrinkled as the raisins he was eating. The world is filled with stories waiting to be told by someone who can see it. I’m grateful I have been blessed to be one of those storytellers. if you want to follow me on Facebook, here's the link https://www.facebook.com/kerri.jesmer/

Hello, this is Arunima Jha who is extremely thankful to Team Stay Featured and SMMH for publishing this. I don't have a usual week. For me, client management and work management is the utmost important thing to do. The basic premise is to cultivate an abundance mindset. There's always more and therefore we should share more ideas and give more to society. Some lawyers for example don't share much information with their juniors because of the fear that the junior might take away the Client. That's a whole lot different spectrum. So by sharing your knowledge are you helping your competitors? I mean are these national security secrets? I mean this has to be applied in some way. I do not have the perspective of selfishness or have a tribute to general practice. I believe in helping other lawyers by sharing my knowledge and by helping them become better lawyers if I can. This scarcity mindset happens too often and that's scary. If you have this mindset that you have to do everything on your own that you will not be able to grow because you will be too focused on your personal growth. You need to have a vision and act on it to make it possible. To have a healthy mindset, approach it every day. One of the things that I struggle with is that other people get accolades or success that maybe I don't have. Perhaps I don't even need but that's an insecurity that I have. So one of the things that I practice is not to compare myself with someone else. Overcoming the fear of rejection. I don't like being rejected. While some people are okay with rejection, I am not geared that way - "accepting being told no". So, it's choice and understanding that even if you fail at something, you need to assess it in a way to understand what caused it. Sometimes you can do all the right things and still fail because some things are beyond your control. So focus on the process and not the outcome. For example, a jury may pass an order in your favour but a different jury on a different day may come out with a different verdict. The same is very much true in cases of cases where the outcome is not in your favour. Another learning is that you have to own up to your mistakes. When you screw up, own up. That maintains the trust of your partners and clients. You have to decide your priorities. It's all about choices. Certainly in the last five months, a lot of things have changed and WFH has become the norm. A lot of us are still experiencing the flexibility of working from home. For some, it's non-functional but for me, it works. So it's a matter of prioritizing and the act of continuing to keep making such choices. Set your Client's expectations and then reinforce them through your behaviour. For example, if you say that you're okay to work on a contract on an emergency basis and then you don't, it creates a disconnect. That would remove so much frustration from the people and they wouldn't be angry if you don't. if you really liked this article, you can follow me on my Instagram account with this link https://instagram.com/arunimajsharma?r=nametag You can also follow me on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/jharunima
