Through a blend of experiential learning, storytelling, team challenges, and personal reflection, the participants rediscovered their purpose, redefined their commitment, and collectively envisioned a future where SCEH continues to serve as a beacon of compassion and excellence across Nepal and beyond. 

Acknowledgment

On behalf of the Eastern Research Institute of Positive Science (ERIPS), I, Dr. R.C. Lamichhane, express my heartfelt appreciation to Sagarmatha Chaudhary Eye Hospital’s leadership, management, and staff for their active participation, enthusiasm, and deep commitment throughout the two-day training. Special gratitude goes to the Chairperson, Mr. Rabindra Lal Chaudhary, Managing Director Dr. Avishek Roshan, and Administrative Officer Ms. Dipti Sah for their excellent coordination and unwavering support. The warmth, openness, and engagement shown by each participant made the training a truly transformative experience. ERIPS remains committed to continuing this partnership, supporting SCEH’s journey toward Vision 2035 with evidence-based strategies, innovation, and positive transformation.

1. Background and Rationale

Sagarmatha Chaudhary Eye Hospital (SCEH) has long stood as a symbol of compassion, commitment, and excellence, transforming thousands of lives through vision and hearing restoration across Nepal and beyond. As SCEH continues to expand its service volume and strengthen its quality of care, maintaining the intrinsic motivation, emotional connection, and shared sense of purpose among all staff and board members has become ever more important.
Recognizing this need, SCEH in collaboration with the Eastern Research Institute of Positive Science (ERIPS) organized a two-day motivational training titled “Reawakening Purpose, Passion, and Possibility, Building a Thriving SCEH Culture.” The training was designed to rejuvenate inner energy, reinforce collective commitment, and inspire both clinical and administrative teams to align with SCEH’s vision of compassionate excellence.

2. Objectives of the Training

• Reconnect with the core values and mission of SCEH.
• Strengthen trust, collaboration, and emotional alignment across departments.
• Discover personal and organizational motivators that fuel excellence.
• Cultivate appreciative communication and positive leadership behaviors.
• Develop personal motivation plans that translate purpose into performance.

3. Training Philosophy

The training followed the principles of Appreciative Inquiry (AI) and Positive Psychology, emphasizing strength-based transformation. Rather than focusing on problems, participants were guided to discover what gives life to SCEH, its values, people, and dreams. The process integrated experiential learning, reflective storytelling, mindfulness, and team challenges, creating a highly participatory and emotionally enriching learning journey.

4. Scientific and Practical Justification

4.1 Positive Psychology: Research by Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi (2000) shows that focusing on strengths enhances well-being and performance.

4.2 Employee Engagement: Gallup (2017) found that engaged organizations are 21% more profitable and 17% more productive.

4.3 Quality of Care: Studies (Laschinger & Leiter, 2006) confirm that positive work environments directly improve patient outcomes and satisfaction.

5. Training Design and Methodology

The two-day workshop was structured using Appreciative Inquiry’s 5-D Cycle: Define, Discover, Dream, Design, and Destiny, blending participatory learning and reflective exploration.

Major Training Activities:

Opening & Icebreaker: “We Are the Light”

The session opened with a warm and graceful welcome by Ms. Dipti Sah, Administrative Officer of SCEH, who introduced the facilitator and set the stage for the much-awaited training. With heartfelt appreciation, she handed over the session to Dr. R.C. Lamichhane, the lead facilitator, whose presence immediately filled the room with inspiration and curiosity.

Dr. Lamichhane began by highlighting the purpose, objectives, and deeper significance of the two-day training, reminding everyone that the true power of Sagarmatha Chaudhary Eye Hospital lies not just in its advanced technology or infrastructure, but in the light, energy, and potential of its people. He emphasized that when each individual recognizes and nurtures their own inner light, that brilliance collectively illuminates the organization—creating a culture of compassion, excellence, and shared growth.

To bring this realization to life, Dr. Lamichhane led participants through a profoundly touching and interactive exercise titled “We Are the Light.” In this session, all 40 participants, representing the hospital’s medical, technical, administrative, security, and counseling departments, sat together in a close circle—a powerful symbol of unity, equality, and shared purpose.

Each participant was asked to write one positive strength or quality they observed in every other colleague. By the end, every person held a list of 40 affirmations—40 reflections of their strengths and goodness as seen by others. The atmosphere quickly transformed—filled with smiles, laughter, heartfelt emotion, and even tears of joy—as staff rediscovered their own worth through the loving eyes of their teammates.

Many participants expressed genuine surprise and delight upon reading the unexpected strengths identified by their colleagues. They shared how meaningful it felt to see that others notice and value their quiet efforts, kindness, or professionalism. Some described the experience as “eye-opening,” realizing how positivity can shift relationships and perspectives within the workplace and beyond. They also acknowledged that the same appreciative mindset could be mirrored at home and while caring for patients—making SCEH not just a hospital, but a family of healers and learners.

Through this exercise, over 100 unique strengths were revealed within the team—truly the hidden treasures and real assets of SCEH.

A few examples of these strengths included:

• Technical and Medical Staff: precision, dedication to patient care, calmness under pressure, teamwork, empathy, attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and commitment to excellence.
• Administrative Team: organization, leadership, communication, coordination, adaptability, integrity, and accountability.
• Counselors and Support Staff: compassion, active listening, emotional support, patience, encouragement, and respect for all.
• Security and Logistical Team: reliability, vigilance, helpfulness, discipline, and readiness to serve.

By the end of the session, one message echoed clearly throughout the hall, “We all are the light, and together, we make SCEH shine brighter.” The activity beautifully set the tone for the rest of the training, leaving participants eager, inspired, and emotionally connected to the purpose of the journey ahead.

Our Shared Mission – The SCEH Story

The second session, “Our Shared Mission – The SCEH Story,” invited participants to look beyond daily routines and rediscover the deeper meaning of their work. Through reflective dialogue, participants explored a fundamental question: “Apart from salary, why did you choose to work at Sagarmatha Chaudhary Eye Hospital?” The responses were heartfelt and profoundly moving. Many expressed that SCEH is not merely a workplace but a sacred space of service, a place where compassion meets purpose. They shared that while salaries can be earned in any organization, the spiritual fulfillment and moral satisfaction of serving in a charitable institution like SCEH is incomparable. Several participants described the hospital as a “holy place,” where even the smallest act of kindness contributes to something divine, opening “the door to heaven through service.”

As the session unfolded, participants revisited the mission and vision of SCEH, examining how their personal purpose aligns with the organizational purpose. Guided by Dr. R.C. Lamichhane, they reflected on how individual calling and collective mission can merge to create unanticipated impact and extraordinary results. When each person’s life purpose resonates with the hospital’s mission of restoring sight and transforming lives, their work naturally becomes more meaningful, joyful, and transformative. Dr. Khusbu Gupta, an ophthalmologist, shared that this session helped her “rediscover happiness in work,” realizing that purpose-driven service not only heals patients but also heals the heart of the healer.

Through this session, participants learned that alignment between personal mission and organizational mission is the key to sustainable motivation, compassion, and excellence, turning ordinary tasks into extraordinary contributions and making SCEH not just a hospital, but a living example of purposeful humanity in action.

The Power of Purpose

The session on “The Power of Purpose” was one of the most awakening and thought-provoking parts of the training. It began with a powerful reflection: “If you don’t know where you are going, it doesn’t matter which road you take.” Through this simple yet profound idea, participants were invited to explore the true meaning of purpose in their personal and professional lives. A creative brainstorming activity revealed that while everyone works hard in life, only a few truly achieve lasting success. The discussion uncovered the reason, hard work without clear purpose is like sailing without a compass. Purpose gives direction, energy, and meaning to every effort. Without it, even great talent and effort lose their impact.

Dr. R.C. Lamichhane beautifully illustrated this truth with the inspiring example of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, former President of India, who once said that “having a small dream is itself a crime.” This statement echoed deeply in the hall, reminding everyone that greatness begins with a great purpose. Participants realized that the very foundation of Sagarmatha Chaudhary Eye Hospital, established 45 years ago, was built on such a powerful purpose: to restore sight and dignity to thousands of lives. That same purpose continues to illuminate every corner of the institution today. As discussions deepened, participants reflected on how aligning individual purpose with the organizational purpose can create extraordinary results. Mr. Mukesh, one of the participants, shared, “This session inspired me to revisit my purpose again.” The session concluded with a shared realization, when purpose becomes clear, passion is ignited, and success naturally follows.

Discovering Our Strengths through Appreciative Inquiry

The fourth session, “Discovering Our Strengths through Appreciative Inquiry,” was a truly transformative experience. Dr. R.C. Lamichhane introduced the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) approach, a globally recognized, strength-based model for personal and organizational transformation. Participants learned that AI shifts focus from “what’s wrong” to “what gives life,” emphasizing possibilities, achievements, and collective strengths. The inspiring story of its successful application at the Cleveland Clinic (USA) was shared, illustrating how this approach revolutionized organizational culture, improved teamwork, and enhanced patient care through positivity and collaboration. Participants were fascinated to learn how this same mindset could help SCEH grow from excellence to greatness.

Through the 5D Cycle of Appreciative Inquiry: Define, Discover, Dream, Design, and Destiny, participants explored their personal “signature strengths” as well as the collective strengths of Sagarmatha Chaudhary Eye Hospital. The atmosphere turned emotional and proud as real-life success stories were shared; such as the moving story of a blind mother who saw her children for the first time at the age of 26 after a successful eye surgery at SCEH. Such stories reflected the true spirit of compassion, excellence, and purpose that define the institution. Every participant felt that their work, whether medical, technical, or administrative, was part of something far bigger, a mission that restores not just sight, but hope and dignity.

Dr. Lamichhane emphasized that SCEH is not just a hospital, it is Nepal’s emerging soft power, a beacon of humanity and service that has earned immense goodwill across borders. With over 70,000 surgeries annually, serving patients from both Nepal and India, SCEH stands as a model of service-driven success. Ms. Sonam Jaiswal, one of the participants, expressed that the session deeply inspired her to “do even more positive and meaningful work in the days ahead.” The session concluded with a collective commitment every participant pledged to strengthen themselves and their organization, envisioning a future where SCEH becomes one of the best eye hospitals in the world, guided by the light of appreciation, compassion, and shared purpose.

Team Energy Challenge – “Bridge of Trust”

The “Bridge of Trust” challenge was one of the most engaging and high-energy sessions of the training. Participants were divided into three teams and given a unique task — to stay physically connected by air-filled balloons and move together across a set distance without letting the balloons fall, burst, or be touched by their hands. The game, simple in design yet profound in meaning, immediately captured everyone’s attention. Laughter, excitement, and intense focus filled the room as teams tried to move in harmony, adjusting their pace and coordination. It was not just a game; it was a live metaphor for how an organization thrives  through balance, trust, rhythm, and shared responsibility.

As the activity unfolded, participants quickly realized that even the smallest misstep or loss of focus by one member could cause the entire team to fail. It was a vivid reminder that in every organization, the success of the whole depends on the integrity, sincerity, and performance of each individual. Each team learned the power of communication, empathy, and adaptability in maintaining unity. They also experienced how leadership, clear direction, and mutual trust can transform potential chaos into collective excellence. Mr. Rakesh beautifully summarized the experience, saying, “This challenge helped me internalize the real meaning of teamwork; how every individual plays a vital role in building trust and moving forward together.”

Dr. R.C. Lamichhane connected the insights of the activity with systemic and systems thinking, emphasizing that Sagarmatha Chaudhary Eye Hospital operates like a living organism, where every person, department, and process is interconnected. The Bridge of Trust exercise symbolized the organizational fabric of SCEH: strong, resilient, and deeply interdependent. Participants left the session with renewed respect for their colleagues, understanding that unity and coordination are the foundation of a thriving culture. As one team moves together, when aligned in purpose, trust, and passion SCEH can bridge any gap and achieve its dream of becoming a global center of excellence by 2035.

From Stress to Strength

Stress is an inevitable part of life, affecting both individuals and organizations. It comes in two forms: distress, which can drain energy and hinder performance, and eustress, a positive force that inspires growth, motivation, and resilience. When managed effectively, stress becomes a catalyst for personal and professional development, helping individuals navigate challenges and achieve their full potential. Recognizing the difference between harmful stress and empowering stress is the first step toward turning obstacles into opportunities.

The journey from stress to strength involves consciously shifting focus from negativity to positivity. Practices such as meditation, mindfulness, the intentional use of positive language, regular physical activity, and healthy nutrition can significantly enhance our ability to transform stress into a source of energy and creativity. By cultivating these habits, individuals not only reduce the risk of burnout but also nurture joy, clarity, and inner strength, creating a more balanced and empowered life.

Participants of this session, like Mr. Prakasha Shrestha, found these strategies invaluable in converting stress into personal strength. By applying these insights, they are now equipped to foster a workplace at SCEH that is pleasant, healthy, and vibrant, where employees feel energized, supported, and genuinely happy. This transformation encourages collaboration, positivity, and smiles across the organization, turning SCEH into a thriving environment where both people and performance flourish.

Appreciative Leadership for All

The session on Appreciative Leadership highlighted a transformative approach that emphasizes recognizing strengths, fostering collaboration, and inspiring the best in every individual. At SCEH, this leadership model encourages all staff—from clinical teams to administrative personnel—to actively contribute their talents, ideas, and innovative solutions toward a shared vision. By focusing on possibilities rather than limitations, appreciative leadership cultivates a culture of positivity, creativity, and excellence, laying a strong foundation for SCEH to emerge as one of the world’s leading hospitals by 2035.

A key insight from the session was the power of collective dreams and aspirations. Staff realized that when each individual is encouraged to share their ideas and leverage their strengths, the combined impact can transform patient care, operational processes, and organizational culture. This approach fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement, turning everyday challenges into opportunities for growth. Appreciative leadership equips staff with the mindset and tools to co-create solutions, take ownership of initiatives, and actively participate in the hospital’s journey toward global excellence.

The learning from the session was both practical and inspiring. Staff acknowledged the tangible impact of applying this approach in day-to-day hospital management—from improving patient services to enhancing team communication and operational efficiency. As Dipti Sah, Administrative Officer, shared: “This approach helped me realize that every contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in achieving our collective vision. Appreciative leadership is not just a concept; it is a pathway to creating a hospital that is innovative, compassionate, and globally recognized.” The session concluded with a renewed sense of empowerment among staff, who are now motivated to implement these principles and collaboratively steer SCEH toward becoming a model institution of excellence, health, and innovation.

Communication that Inspires

In this session, participants explored the transformative power of communication, emphasizing how words, rhythm, and body language work together to create meaningful impact. The three components were discussed in detail, and participants were invited to assign weight to each based on their perception. Many were surprised to learn the reality—that body language and rhythm often carry far more influence than words alone. This eye-opening exercise helped participants understand that effective communication is not just about what we say, but how we say it, and how our presence amplifies the message we convey.

Through interactive discussions, the session highlighted positive communication and its profound effects on personal life, organizational culture, and patient care. Staff recognized that using uplifting, respectful, and constructive language motivates teams, strengthens relationships, and fosters a supportive environment. Positive communication is a tool that enhances clarity, encourages collaboration, and drives engagement, creating a ripple effect that improves efficiency, morale, and overall performance. By consciously applying these principles, each individual can become a source of inspiration, trust, and encouragement within the hospital.

The session concluded with a strong realization that positive communication is directly linked to SCEH’s vision, mission, goals, and the personal aspirations of each staff member. Participants understood that mastering this skill empowers them to contribute more effectively, align with organizational objectives, and create a culture of motivation, excellence, and compassion. By embracing the power of inspiring communication, SCEH is positioned to strengthen team synergy, elevate patient care, and move confidently toward becoming a hospital known for both exceptional performance and a culture of positivity and empowerment.

Dreaming and Designing SCEH 2035

Building on the discovery of both individual and organizational strengths, participants engaged in a visionary exercise to envision SCEH in 2035. In this vision, the hospital attains global recognition, earns prestigious international awards, and stands as a model of excellence in healthcare worldwide. Every staff member and stakeholder participated creatively, innovatively, and enthusiastically, bringing their unique perspectives and energy to the process. Together, they articulated the hospital’s vision statement, “Smart Vision for All,” and developed a provocative proposition aligned with this aspirational goal, ensuring that the dream is grounded in both ambition and actionable strategy.

Through this exercise, participants were able to conceptualize the ideal SCEH and explore the systems, mechanisms, and structures needed to achieve this vision. Critical areas of focus included leadership, human resource capability, organizational culture, linkages and networks, resources and technology, organizational structure, and monitoring and evaluation. By addressing these components in a structured and strategic manner, participants created a comprehensive blueprint to guide the hospital’s growth and transformation over the next decade and beyond.

The process also highlighted the power of collective imagination and shared purpose. Participants realized that when each individual aligns their creativity, expertise, and commitment with a shared vision, a remarkable transformation becomes possible. By working collaboratively, staff not only envisioned an aspirational SCEH but also identified practical steps to make it a reality, ensuring that innovation, excellence, and compassionate care are embedded in every facet of the hospital’s operations.

The session concluded with a deep sense of empowerment and ownership among participants. With “Smart Vision for All” as the guiding principle, the SCEH community is now equipped to implement innovative solutions, strengthen systems, and foster a culture of excellence and collaboration. This visionary approach positions SCEH to become a globally recognized, world-class hospital by 2035, where every staff member and stakeholder contributes meaningfully to achieving extraordinary outcomes in patient care, organizational performance, and international reputation.

Personal Motivation Plan – “My Next Step”

As a concluding and action-oriented component of the two-day Appreciative Leadership and Organizational Development training, participants developed their Personal Motivation Plan, titled “My Next Step.” This exercise was designed to help every staff member reflect on their learning, identify their personal growth priorities, and outline specific actions to apply the new insights gained during the training. The objective was to ensure that the knowledge and inspiration from the sessions are translated into practical, sustainable, and measurable commitments within the workplace.

During this activity, each participant formulated their individual motivation plan, integrating elements such as self-awareness, professional goals, teamwork strategies, and creative contributions toward the hospital’s continuous improvement. The process encouraged participants to connect their inner motivation with the collective aspiration of SCEH, fostering a deeper sense of ownership and accountability. This personalized action planning became a bridge between learning and implementation, empowering staff to take proactive steps in enhancing performance, communication, and innovation in their respective departments.

The Personal Motivation Plan has been recognized as an integral component of SCEH Vision 2035. By aligning each staff member’s “next step” with the hospital’s broader vision of becoming a globally recognized center of excellence, the initiative strengthens the culture of motivation, creativity, and shared purpose. Participants expressed that the exercise inspired them to act with renewed passion and confidence, reinforcing the belief that personal transformation fuels organizational transformation. Through these individual commitments, SCEH moves steadily toward realizing its vision of a healthy, innovative, and compassionate institution by 2035, where every team member plays a crucial role in making “Smart Vision for All” a living reality.
