hong teck took us for team coaches course today :)
hahaa.
got to know that last week's attendance was only 5 (there're ard 20 pple in team coaches course), so quite sad.
that's got nothing to do with hongteck taking us for team coaches course though :) lol.
i learned a lot from him today :) i think settling conflicts and problems is an area which is relatively talked about and learned (for me anyway:P).. but still learned quite a lot from today's lessons :)
think something i got reminded of today is that good leadership is non-negotiable.
hahhaa.
something which i've learned today is about the area of strengths..
you know, usually we'll think that when we define strengths, we define it in the area that we're good at, that's we're better at. so, for example, my strength could be that i can read things fast. lol.
hongteck taught us today that sometimes people don't know where their strengths lie. actually, most of the time, it's hard for people to list down their top 3 strengths..
and when he talks about strength, he doesn't mean it in the sense of things that you're very good at, but rather, things which you do that energizes you.
so for example, i may be very good at reading things fast, but if i hate reading, and by reading, it'll cause me to be relatively miserable, that is NOT a strength which i have.
conversely, if i can't read things fast, but i LOVE reading, there's potential for me to grow 'cos my passion will drive me to train myself in that area :)
of course, the best thing'll be that i can both do tt thing well and it energizes me. lol.
self awarenes is very important.(i remember junting commending me before in tt aspect, but i never really understood why there was a need to commend. i've always thought that everyone is equally self aware.)
lol.
