#TG Life
The road to success is often a hard one. Persistence and hard work is the basis on which many a success is built on - one fine example being, Norbert’s Fitness Studio (NFS), a brand synonymous with fitness across Goa. The year 2019 marks 11 years of the NFS brand (and as Norbert as an entrepreneur) and 20 years of Norbert as part of an involved member in the fitness industry.
Besides persistence, Norbert D’Souza, proprietor, NFS, also owes his success to the hard work put in by his team - be it the trainers, housekeeping or the branch heads. In recognition of this, NFS celebrated the second edition of their Staff Day recently at its Dona Paula branch.
“There is no shortcut to success. Learning cannot be done on smartphones, but through real time experience, hard work and persistence. We are keen to spread fitness to every nook and corner of Goa and are in the process of expanding our footprints across Goa, and maybe outside Goa too,” stated Norbert D’Souza thanking his staff on this occasion.
To inspire the staff further, NFS in a unique move tied up with ‘The Goan Everyday’ - Fomento Media Group’s English newspaper. The objective was to bring forth success stories of individuals, basically the unsung heroes that were featured in ‘The Goan Everyday’ during the year 2018. Four success stories in their own right and stream were picked up - Bosco George, IPS; Neena Naik, principal Mushtifund National Open School; Shant Gudanwar, entrepreneur; Pooja Mayekar, Nachinola panch member.
The speakers shared their respective professional journey, their turning points, what motivated them to keep going on in the face of hardships and yet maintain their character. Additionally, there was a learning session for the staff conducted by motivational speaker Pravin Sabnis. The session also saw awards being given to various staff and respective branches for their exemplary performance.
The theme for this year’s Staff Day was - ‘Dreams are for real. If my mind can conceive it and my heart can believe it, then I know I can achieve it’. The speakers emphasized on leadership, motivation, communication and their respective professional journey.
It was an evening of camaraderie, learning, appreciation where the staff from all nine centre of NFS came together to celebrate the 20 years of their presence in the fitness industry.
