​14 Inspiring Speeches By Indians

'I Leds'                               The Leadership Summit

In your classes, discuss about ‘I Leds’ and various experiences they have gone through which have helped them transform themselves as unique individuals.

‘I Leds’ will be based on their own life experiences. It can be a life changing experience, a problem that they saw as an obstruction but however overcame it diligently. It can also be an overarching goal they have set for themselves and how they plan to achieve the same. Learners, however, have to keep in mind that they have to be based on real life experiences. The ‘I Led’ talk has to be a 2 minute talk. Please give students time to start working on their I-Led speeches.
​
​Three students per section can be chosen to present the I-Led. Please also make a short video ( 30 secs) of all other children which can be played on the screen during the summit.

  • Experiential learning through reflection, balanced work-life relations, and shifting the responsibility for learning from the organization to the individual
