Personal, Professional, and Creative Growth II

Personal, Professional, and Creative Growth II
While You are There...


Take responsibility for your own learning. Yes, there will be a trainer. Yes, they will be "in charge" of the workshop. But you are responsible for your own learning, so do what you need to be successful. Know beforehand what you want and come prepared with computer, paper, pen and a great attitude. Stop for your favorite coffee if you know that you need that special java or bring your own tea bag if nothing works as well as your favorite Chai to get your day going. Once your comfort needs are met, set your mind for learning and creating.

This can be as easy as coming prepared with questions for yourself:

  • How can I use this?
  • How will this advance my work? My business?
  • Who can I connect with?
  • Who can I add to my network?
  • Who seems to connect with me?

Ultimately, you are responsible for your own learning-so take that responsibility con gusto y con ganas.

During the session, keep your heart, mind, and soul open and for how you can apply what you are learning to your personal, professional, and creative life. And remember to write those ideas down so you can make them happen!!!

Engage in the process. Learning is an active process, so be an active participant. That doesn't mean you have to answer every question or be the most talkative person in the group – it just means to actively engage in what is going on as you get in the groove of learning. It is all about attitude.

How to get the most from your personal, professional, and creative development!!!
 
Are you signed up to go to a workshop, training, conference, or networking meeting soon? Have you attended these in the past and come home overwhelmed, excited, full of ideas, and changes you were going to make only to find out that in two days it was business as usual and the glow was gone?

Well, here are a few tips to make sure that you get the best value for the precious time and money you are investing in yourself.

Antes del evento...

First of all, come with an attitude of gratitude and be appreciative of the gifts you are about to receive, dar gracias a Dios for this opportunity you have been given to receive whatever is in store for you.

Ask yourself questions like:
  • What would make this worth my time? 
  • What is my fondest wish for this training?
  • What do I expect from this training?
  • What is the best possible outcome that could arise from this training?
  • What is the biggest question I'd like answered?
Stay tuned for tips of what to do while you are there and what to do after the event.
