time is ticking down - the countdown has begun, today is monday and on saturday morning at 6 i will be leaving to the airport flying back to Europe, i cant believe that it has been almost 4 weeks already.. it has been compact, it has been a dynamic joyride of ups and certainly also downs. so what better way to start a monday than by having 4 group presentations done.
(agenda for today .. simple - but powerful..)
..yupp all the teams finalized their presentations, and have been given a 1 hr slot to present their main objectives to the other groups, for then to receive feedback, positive and constructive feedback...
(last minute preparations - before it is showtime .. well done team..)
so first group is up, project management, the PowerPoint is in English and the presentation in itself is in a mixture of Tamil and English - called Tamilenglish, okay i know i have said it before but i will say it again, WOW - after 3 days of us training them and additional 2 days of us coaching they are delivering their own presentation - and it is great, sure there are some mistakes with the presentation, sure there are some issues with their body language, some issues with who does what and when, but all in all - 5 days and this is the outcome, i am very impressed, they are really pushing themselves forward, they are shining, they are full of confidence, they seem so comfortable on stage, so relaxed, and to my biggest surprised they seem to enjoy it... and i have to admit that once again i get tied so much in their presentations that at one point lunch is coming.. and two presentations left for us to go through..
(what do you do when electricity gets turned off - well you turn the screen on your notebook and continue - cool approach)
So after lunch we kick-start with Time management that really was dynamic as well - feedback is coming from the other team members, and you can see and here how emotional they are both when they are giving positive feedback but also when they give the constructive feedback ... one of the feedback's that really makes me feel good is this one "taking into account that many of you have never done a presentation or even typed on a computer before - you are doing a wonderful job" - this is the true essence of what we have been able to achieve in our very short stay here - to empower a very aged diversified group of men and women where majority of them has never worked with presentations, done presentation, or even ever considered doing presentations for others - here they are standing in front of each other, talking, role playing, discussing, sharing, leading, asking, facilitating, and all of it done in style, all of it done with confidence, all of it done from their hearts, all of it done with their passion, all of it made real in such a short amount of time, what an achievement - here is what i have learned today ... "impossible is nothing" - i just cant believe i had to come the whole way to India to learn that ..
