Day 3 - Thursday
Snow was everywhere, but not in the hearts of everyone.
There you could only find warmth and good intent.
Today was the final day of the training and what it day.
The logistics were topsy turvey. The state declared a national emergency due to the weather!!!!!! Snow and ice everywhere. As a result the offices were closed as were many roads. Yet that only spurred us on, we rallied together and with the innovation of the team a new and virtual classroom was created. Unbelievable. And guess what it only enhanced the learning experience. It forced us to be inclusive and build further on each other's strengths. It was like as if it was designed that way. Simply brilliant.
The agenda covered many things, yet in a way it didn't. Each exercise kept coming back to the same things. Build on your own strengths and recognize those in others. Slow down to speed up. Reflection is an action. Is it really that simple?
We did some reflective work on exploring our personal icebergs, this provided wonderful moments, we then went on to explore paradox and action planning. All day we were invited to give positive feedback and we all felt pure intent. We basked in each other and learned at each turn.
The rendition of "Let it Go" from Frozen at the end was simply magical.
Singing out loud and committing to giving this training rollout everything we had.
It just emerged and was beautiful and inspiring.
This week we not only built a community of friends and practitioners, we also discovered many things that are possibly even bigger. We accessed the power we have within and understood how to unleash it. Will we be courageous enough to unleash it and "let it go?"
I think so. I hope so. Only ourselves stand in the way.
As I wait for my flight I am filled with gratitude, gratitude that I have a family to go home to. A family who are eagerly awaiting my return and in whose arms I am going to fall.
Safe travels dear colleagues.
