Important things we learned:
Learn & Lead Principles.First and foremost, we learned about the 9 Learn & Lead Principles, which are a guide to a better and happier life, both at work and in our personal lives. Exploring principles, what stands beyond them, which ones we are equipped with and which ones are yet to improve – is one of the main take aways for all the participants in our team.
Understanding oneself better. Our participants gained deep insights into their individual selves. The emphasis on self-awareness highlighted the critical role it plays in building effective communication with oneself and others. As well as it highlighted the importance of understanding oneself in the context of leadership, as being a leader comes with understanding yourself first.
Effective Communication Skills.Our team gained skills that extend beyond the classroom, proving invaluable in various spheres of life and work. Equipped with a toolkit for effective communication and active listening, we now are striving to be even a better team. Learning about 5 freedoms by Virginia Satir allowed us to be able to incorporate these freedoms as a new way of communicating.
New Leadership. Exploring New Leadership through self-leadership and self-management as a first step to be a New Leader. Learning and describing different styles of leadership allowed us to see the value in the new roles brought by new leadership principles.
LCA Learner-centered approach is the gem within these two weeks. Being a set of flexible foundations, it can be easily transformed into person-centered approach to have a wider implementation. We learned that the person-centered approach is incredibly important for education, management and basically any life sphere.
