My day started out with a 6:45 breakfast of granola and homo milk, followed by a brisk walk atop our roof to Nicholas’ weight room. After my abs reached a state of full out rebellion I headed home, had a quick shower and headed out the door. My first destination, the reason for my early start, was to sell LED bulbs to the four monolithic tours across the intersection. After two brief meeting I ended of with a future meeting and a serious interest if my bulbs could be made with a different fitting.
My spirit lifted by these results, I headed off to school, only to find the class room still empty and in need a serious clean up. After heaving the debree from our floor out the door and into the dumpster, I enrolled my fellow not so early birds in a list of items that would help us create more tidy class room.
Begging on time with a uneventful check in the team moved quickly to a fifteen minute planning of the weeks time table (how did that happen… its like our semester speed record) . This left us a half our of free time before Rebecca’s workshop on the Appreciation Gallery
Appreciation Gallery
So this is how it woks:
1. We brake up into groups of 3-4
2. We all are given sticky notes and pens
3. In secession we tell a seven minute story about ourselves that we are proud of.
4. While one member is telling the story, the others group members are righting on sticky notes the good qualities that this person exhibits in the story; sticking them to the story teller all the while.
5. Once the seven minuets are up the next group member tells his/her story and this continues until every one is covered in sticky notes.
6. Then the facilitator turns up the music and all participating dance around admiring all each others qualities.
This exercise is great for learning to listen for the good stuff, and discovering what people are good at. It helps create a atmosphere of appreciation.
After a lovely lunch where I narrowly escaped a chess defeat before crushing Thijs in a last offensive we reconvened to hear Darrel Wallace talk about social networking.
Here is a list of the sites that we could use.
We leaned about this at KaosPilots
This makes sence but its nice to visualise how to keep peole interested
