The Teaching Learning Community, popularly known as TLC, completed 19 years of successful journey on 10th February 2024. This endeavor is run free of cost and believes in the fact that the real payback to TLC comes from entrepreneurs who have benefited from TLC, start teaching others to do better business and the chain goes on. TLC was founded in 2005 as community of 15 entrepreneurs in and around Nashik who wanted to achieve value-based breakthrough growth. TLC was inspired by Stephen Covey's reference to Dr. William W. Wierwille’s experiment in “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” where Wierwille utilized a highly interactive teaching approach. With 1,000 students, rather than adopting a traditional lecture style, he actively engaged them in discussions, group activities, and peer teaching to enhance the learning experience and encourage personal responsibility for their education.
The second inspiration came from Napoleon Hill’s book, 'Think and Grow Rich,' where he discusses the Principle and Power of the Master Mind: Surrounding yourself with a supportive network of like-minded individuals.
What unites, sustains growth, and empowers this community is its leadership. Over a period, the informal exchange of ideas gave way to a structured entrepreneurship program, but with a difference. The program is continual and believes in unlearning, learning, doing and teaching various business concepts to derive dramatic results in areas of leadership, strategy, financial results, employee pride, customer success and social responsibility.
