Maybe you don't know, but your EB had an intensive time last week. After a kind of summer break, now we are all back in Switzerland from Thailand, Romania, Austria, Ukraine, Denmark and more :) and we finally met all of us together.
It all started with the cool LC Coach Meeting with Cileia, two weeks ago. We looked to us as a team, a whole person and how we can get the most of our person in the team. We found out where we fit best and how our contribution in this direction will bring a lot of benefit to the whole LC. It was really interesting. What I learned was to concentrate not on my weak sides, but on my strong sides and to build on them. It's like I knew that, but now it's more present in my mind and that is good.Last week, on Thursday we made a team day, we went away from Bern to Leissingen. We were all day long there and we also slept there. It was so good to be right near the lake, to enjoy the fresh air and the silence (Marie does not agree with me about the silence :) ). It was so good that we came all together, that we had really enough time to plan the next semester (we planed all LCMs till end of 2006), to make an year plan review, to discuss different strategic things we want to bring in our LC for the next semester. We will update you soon on this. You will not believe it, but all 5 of us went to bed before 10 o'clock!!!! Yeah...we were somehow finished... :) not all of us, but we were aware that we had to go to the conference next day which supposes a very intensive time and not that much sleep. This youth hostel in Leissingen was so beautiful, you can read more about it in Laura's blog, she described it very well.So for the weekend we were all at Kandersteg for the ACT conference, a national conference for all EBs in Switzerland. So apply for the next EB term and you will be there next year :). The MC gave its best and worked hard for this conference, I could see, that they really want to have an impact in their term, they were very well organised and everything was kept in time. BRAVO for our MC!!! For me it was special to speak more with my EB and to get to know them better, all of them. I also got to know better the MC people and my mentor, who I am very proud of :) it is really an opportunity that everyone in our LC should have. If you don't want a mentor, look at least for one Goldie to stay in contact with, they have so much knowledge that brings you further! But back to ACT. There were a lot of learning environments and interesting issues, a lot of sessions and a lot of fun and laughter because the MC people are great actors. :)What we bring back to you from the team days and ACT are issue based experiences and issue based recruitment. We will soon introduce them to you.Thank you Marie for all the discussions we had and the morning walk through the rain. :)Thank you Yavor for the nice sugar cube and that you were there for me.Thank you Daniel for all your engagement with the trainees.Thank you Laura for your new inputs we can use so good in our LC!Thank you EB for understanding each other.People, I can tell you, we have a great EB this year!!!
