thoughts on pre-dep

Pre-departure training concluded last night. With the leadership and guidance of Robin Farnworth, pre-depature training, for me, was extremely powerful, invigourating and empowering.

Some findings and thoughts:

  • It has forced me to focus. Focus is a very powerful thing.
  • I have made many new friends
  • I made use of an analytical and creative thinking part of my brain that wasn't taken advantage of while working in the industry
  • Facilitating workshops and discussions are key to building key relationships
  • Change on all levels: individual - organizational - institutional, isn't easy, but challenging and very exciting.
  • I need to think more in terms of field level realities.

I feel confident about what I know and what I can contribute. Still lots and lots to learn, live and experience.
