JIS Group, the largest educational conglomerate in Eastern India, organized an event on 20th June, Thoughtshop, in association with The Telegraph at Narula Institute of Technology. The topic of discussion was Happy People Make Great Teachers. Barry O'Brien, a speaker of international repute, was the chief speaker of the workshop that was attended by all teachers and faculty members of JIS Group.

We all know a teacher's importance in a student's life. A student-teacher relationship is very sacred and teachers play an integral role in shaping a student’s career. However, teachers like all other human beings have their share of problems. Like others, they have to deal with the stress of life and regular stress can hamper their work. This has a direct impact on students. It is important for teachers to remain happy. Mr. Brien conveyed the message of happiness and redefined the meaning of a student-teacher relationship. He conveyed his messages in a simple and lucid manner so that everyone could grasp them with utmost ease.

JIS Group organized Thoughtshop

It was more of an interactive session where Mr. Brien shared his own personal experience. He mesmerized the audience with his talks. Thoughtshop was not a typical workshop that has typical brainstorming sessions. It was more of an interactive session where Mr. Brien touched the various facets of one's mind. Mr. Brien's inputs infused a positive energy among those who attended the event. It was a wonderful experience for everyone who was a part of the workshop. JIS Group is confident of its teachers benefitting from the workshop and hopes teachers put more efforts for betterment of students.
