Happy relearning!
Friday, July 20, 2007Almost 3 weeks into the term, boy have I learned heaps in the last few months than ever in my life before? Re-learning things that I already knew or maybe things that I thought I knew -is proven to be harder than learning new things. Challenging my view. Challenging myself. Learn about how to be a leader and a motivator. This is why a culture shift in organisation is taking ages!
When my coach summing up our discussion about motivation and leadership- I found that there was nothing new about it. I have seen it demonstrated before, I have demonstrated it and , as the receiving end, I have felt it. Care, respect, passion, sense of belonging.
Sometimes we forget these fundamentals? Sometimes are we so caught up in rules and policies to drive performance and we forget the "marshmallow" of things.
On the other side of life though, Simone was back from the Landmark course in Auckland, that, apparently happened to change lives. I'm a skeptic so I won't say much about it :) However, Amy, Sim and I were having a lengthy discussion about how events in our past that affects our today's behaviour. It is amazing to see that the smallest thing, the things you thought you have forgive and forget - shape who you are today and how you interacted with society.
It is proven that forgiving is not easy! I am thinking about doing the course but I also need a money-back guarantee :/ because sometimes I found myself immune to this type of course. The one that has anything to do with "Getting in touch with your soft side".

Very sce[tical of Landmark! It simlpy brainwashes you, makes you guilty for everything and anything (including all wars and bad-taste soap operas) and leaves you in tears to apologise to all the people in the world for anything uou have ever done.
Crazy...
Life-changing effect wears off after couple of days.
I know personally one Landmark trainer, behaving totally opposite of what she facilitates on the weekends and for that reason only I will never attend such training:))
