Yes, this is one of the treasures of life! Found!
The last two days I have been facilitating the Coaching Clinic, a training workshop designed to help leaders to develop skills that will allow them to create an environment of coaching in their organizations. I was authorized to facilitate this a little over two years ago, and recently I have been conducting clinics for our internal Employment Plus leaders. The clinic was conducted in the beautiful city of Lexington, Kentucky.
The wonder of this is the transformation that occurs with the participants. How their perceptions on leadership change during the course of the clinic. How they walk out with obvious shifts to how they view their role. It is SO cool to see them leave on the last day, and to know that - because of their changed viewpoint - they will adapt their style and become even more effective. And even if it is in a small way, I know that they are taking a path to more effective leadership. I'm excited of course on how this will impact Employment Plus, but I think I'm most excited to see the individual transformation. I've shared some photos of some of our participants at work!
I also really enjoyed spending some down time with the group. A group of us went out to a Japanese steakhouse in Lexington, complete with hibachi grill, sushi, and sake (see a picture of Natalie McMahan from Terre Haute, IN and Trish Thompson from Greenwood, IN). We also had wasabi. Although some people love this fiery condiment, I have a difficult time eating food that causes pain. I passed on it, and simply focused on my fillet and lobster. Good food and good company!
These last two days have been quite a find! I'd like more treasure like this!

I had a day of successful and fun training today myself. There's just nothing quite like it, is there?
Thanks for starting such a fabulous, inspirational blog. But.....where did you ever find the time?
