A three-day workshop entitled “Discover Yourself” was recently conducted by development and stress management expert A.W. Sadatullah Khan.
Khan is the founder and owner of Peace for You International, based in Bangalore, India. Khan is also a gold medalist from Bangalore University and an ambassador for peace.
Jubail-based professionals attended the workshop, which covered various topics, such as stress management, commitment, acceptance, forgiveness, anger management, contentment, frustration, ego, attitude and marital disputes. It also included an interactive session on letting go of the past.
The workshop was followed by a two-day workshop for women and an additional four-hour workshop for men.
Tahir Mohiuddin, chairman of the International Indian School of Jubail (IISJ), and Managing Committee member Ateeq ur Rahman invited Khan to conduct a short workshop for students of the school, especially on stress and fear management.
School workshops were conducted separately for boys and girls and were well received by students. Several students sent their notes of appreciation and gratitude to Khan. One attendee said that the workshop has completely transformed his view on how he sees life and future.
The workshops were jointly organized by Al-Bayan International and Hyderabad Deccan Connections (HDC). The organizing team members included Mohammed Farooq, Tahir Mohiuddin, Ateeq ur Rahman, Abdul Rasheed, Abdul Naseer, Mansoor Khan and Abdul Haleem under the leadership of Syed Waheed Lateef, president of HDC.
Prominent residents in Jubail, including Meraj Ansari, Anees Bakhsh and Mohammed Abdul Sattar, said that in a world where one witnesses unending disputes, misunderstandings, stress and anger, such workshops are the need of the hour and should be conducted on a regular basis to change perspectives.
Anju Raghunath of the IISJ said, “The workshop was excellent. Before the workshop, I had negative thinking, but after attending the workshop, my mind has become peaceful and I think positively.”
Aiman Saad Baig said, “The workshop was marvelous and fabulous. Sadatullah Khan deserves nothing but praise. My confidence has been boosted by Khan and his team. This workshop changed my life entirely.”
An extensive three-hour workshop for IISJ teachers, organized by Syed Waheed Lateef, Taher Mohiuddin and Ateeq ur Rahman, was also a success. Teachers who attended the workshop praised the efforts, which they say brought about a change in their perspective on life.
