Residential

On my return from the residential I can say I have learned
I can contribute to a group as an equal not just as the minuter
I am clearly as bright as everyone else on the course
I no longer need to do everything just to fit in
I am good at quite a lot of things
I get impatient with crap music through tinny speakers
I like a group that banters and swears
I find it easier to be in a group that negotiates
Not all groups need a leader if everyone is willing to take the lead - this only works where full honest negotiation has been agreed
YOu can agree to differ and continue
I'm not very good at not being the person presenting the results... I find it unsettling (because I usually am)
What a lot to have learned. I feel pretty darn good about Iola, she needs to get on with thinking about her future now... after Wednesday when I hand in the assignments of course...
