Hi everyone! Nice to chat with y'all again haha!
So training at the office has been great so far! I have to admit, our first day was not the most interesting... it consisted of 4 and a half hours worth of rules and such ... which i know are important, just slightly boring ;)
Day 2 of training however was much much better! Christal is the lady in charge or organizing our shows and making sure everything fits properly. She decides who will be sharing their stories in certain settings and how the overall look of the show will be presented. So on our second day, we all sat around a table and told each other our life stories. Some were a bit emotional but it really helped everybody to be able to understand each other a lot better. You could begin to see where each person was coming from and understand why they are who they are today. Then we had to begin writing. We started off with point form notes and Christal went through each of our stories with us individually and told us which direction she thought we should take it in.
Some people will be sharing their personal stories, but one person on each road team will be doing a dialogue. And that would be me on my team. I will be sharing the life story of an aboriginal woman who was forced to attend a residential school at age 5.
Stay tuned for details in my next post!
Absolute School of Leadership is an 8-month leadership program which will take me on a four-month long tour of Canada where I will be participating in motivational speeches in highschools. I will spend the other four months living in Mexico where I will be teaching english, building houses, helping to lead humanitarian trips and doing other volunteer humanitarian work . The organization is going through a transformation right now, changing their name from Absolute to Live Different!
