Have not attended external training course for a long long time. The one that I have on 5th and 6th November was held at SIM on Positive Power and Influence. The course focus on identifying positive energy, applied the energy to influence the people around us. It also show us the different style of influence that we could use or we have been using in our daily life. There are some that we need to learn and some that we need to put aside. There are always room for improvement.
During the course, I do find some of the points are so simple, direct and things that we already know. The problem is, we failed to applied them at the right time. Simple thing like receiving and giving feedback, mindful of body languages, watch out for our tone when we speak and use positive words. Common sense right but we don't usually do them.
Application of what we learn during the course is also subjected to the different situation, so be flexible. I need to set clear objective and know who to influence to achieve my goal in life. The rest is not important.
Oh, before I forget, one thing I disliked about attending such motivation courses is the role playing part. I am always selected to role play....always!!! Get a life and find someone else Lei.
