NxGen session 1
It was a brief orientation at Riverwalk on the 9th of Jan 2009.
I saw people that I've never seen before. It's really feels like a CK ZONE meeting..
I think out of everyone there, I only knew about 10% of them.
The start of the activity is about building a structure from scratch, using things like, wooden chopsticks, pails, lego, straws, newspaper, boxes, and tapes too..
As easy as it may sounds, we were given 16mins to build it up, and it has to go through a weight and wind test.
When every team has finished building it, it was time for us to present our "work"
One by one, teams went up, armed with words and actions explaining to the rest of us the meaning of their piece.
At the end of it, when we sumarise the event, it was told that this course would last 16weeks of our time. and that is exactly why we were given 16mins to complete the structure.
As I though on my way home, during the 16mins we took to build the structure from scratch, it represents us the way we are now, different people, representing different sets of items.,
not knowing how, what we could do. But as time grows, each of us, began to do something as a team, each taking a portion role to put up together.
I believe it is going to be a very rewarding leadership training series - if you can, I would strongly encourage you to commit to benefitting from this. =)
