Mindset Breakthrough Workshop

i've attended a Mindset Breakthrough Workshop @ Petronas Management Training Centre for da past 2 days. it was a real fun besides being meaningful for my career advancement.

day 1
_____

a norm for any course - ice breaking. sounds unnecessary for colleagues? well, we don't really know each other or even not at all. ahaha.can't label myself as 'nurul' as i alwiz did coz there's 1 more 'nurul'. jz in front of me.

...........our 1st activity was a video show.

Tan Sri Hassan got his own reason for this 'mindset change'.
" if we keep on going complacent, one day we might disappear". i became conscious for a while.

..........brain pattern was our 2nd play. we're asked to pick 7 cards.

how? those cards represent 1 word & jz pick ur personality matches. intuitive, strategic, sensitive, organised, curious, theorizes & quantifies were my choices. da instruction was then to count up what color we had most.
well, those actually were in colours which i didnt realize while picking up.
we were then grouped according to color - blue, green, yellow & red.
found myself as yellow which represented by intuitive, strategic & curious.
we are all 6 in group.
i managed to jot down these meanings. hmm..let's c whether they suit me. ;p

after going thru this activity, we saw people by colours. ahaha.

.............."Theme of Value" - our 3rd lesson.

divided into 3 groups, we were assigned with an office project comprise of retail & residential. this task supposed to be done by this day but it's behind schedule already. by hook/by crook, da presentation must begin @ 8.30 a.m on da following day. so then we got 2 options; to come early or stay back. option no.2 became majority. nway, both were jz ok for me. 2 hrs spent for designing, costing, selecting materials & da meticuluos 1 - model making! our group was da most diligent to make up until 7 p.m. gosh! costing! no one else - i was da only to play with figures. tonite! huk3..

day 2

______

as early as 8, i reached da centre with an amuse-feeling for da presentation. it turned to be a shocking alarm dat i realize my module...& costing..vitally, were left @ home. 1st thing came to my mind was to return for dat. but rationally thinking, in a very calm mode, i sat & work out all da figures again. my sacrifice for breakfast time.

b4 presentation, a recap for yesterday lesson was done thru a game called '007'. we've been given some instruction & those who failed was da 1 to speak up. & da last 3 person remained in da game would be rewarded. one after one was out. guess what, da remaining participant were me & da other 2 guys. one chocolate for me. =)

nway, presentation time was smoothly running for everybody. & it's not bout winning, it's teamwork. yeah! da fun was the teases from other groups...our design was alike a birthday cake. ahaks.

............da 4th activity was really fun too.

how may unit can be selled then u're da winner. no matter what to do. - dats da mission. i can't imagine how but we came 1st to promote. i remember of singing along our own-composed song. ahaha. da rooms was entirely noisy & boisterous with laughs. cool.

........... we became a factory for the 5th activity.

da instruction was to form sev. depts; namely production, transporter, process, QA/QC & sales & marketing. da play began with an instruction from client then every dept. were to work on producing his needs. kind of unique game with 'ping pong' play & most importantly - we did our great job by identifying da weaknesses, followed by effective solutions. voila!

...........wrap out - this was da last.

we formed a circle & everybody were to say something esp. on what has been gained thru this workshop. sure enough it was full with opinions & sentiments too..grounded by sweet songs..huk3..i concluded dat 'mindset change' is depends on our ownself. with global development & mind, we'll be left behind to stay put. hmm...
