Last week there was training on Choice @ work in my office conducted by an institute called Arbinger. After attending this training I am not sure what happened to me I seam to be a changed person. The way I look at things and the perspective I have has changed. This training came at the right time, when I need some change in my life. I really need to thank Mr Senthyil. This is one of the best trainings I have ever had in my life.
Before I tell about the training I would like to tell something about Senthyil (Not an intro about him) the way he presented to the class. Never have I seen such a presentation. No ppt’s for the presentation and still keeping the people in the classroom awake and enthusiastic. I am sure no person in the class would have slept or nor would he have ever left his mind wandering. Senthyil know how to get peoples attention and how to keep the class active. The voice modulation that he has is just amazing. The stories and examples that he gives are just awesome.
Now let me tell you something about the training. A week before the training started we were given a book from Arbinger, its titled “Leadership and Self-Deception”. To be very frank I have never read any book till now. Well I am not talking about technical books. This is the first non technical book that I have read in my life. And the book is so great that I was just hooked to the book. Each chapter is so interesting that when u read that you feel that you need to finish the next chapter and you will be curious to check what is there in the next chapter. I finished maximum chapters before the training.
The training was supposed to start at 9 AM and last till 5 PM but as expected the training started 30 min late. But the time was not wasted by Senthyil. As people were occupying the seats he went and introduced himself to each person. He asked our names and made a note in a piece of paper. At 9:30 AM he started the course. He introduced himself to the room. He was in the Singapore Army and retired as a Major. After that he joined the Arbinger and is currently heading the South East Asia operations. Then after introducing himself, he told each of our names. There were around 25 people for the training and without missing a person he told everyone’s name in the room. I was totally zapped by that. Don’t know how he remembered all these names in less than half hour.
After that he started the course. He was giving his own life experience and examples. I am sure most of the people in the room would be thinking or relating to their own life experience. As the book name suggests the course is not only for people for their leadership, it is for anyone and everyone. This course information can be used in everybody’s normal life. The training is all about how you see people and what you see about them.
If at any time in your life if you get a chance of attending this training DON’T MISS IT. If you miss this training, you are really missing something in your life.
Go ahead and enjoy your life. !!!
