Four months
15th May, 2011 - Posted by admin - No Comments
As I may or may not have mentioned in previous posts, a few months ago I started taking a Dale Carnegie course. The course is geared to help business professionals improve their leadership, interpersonal skills and self-confidence. Tonight the entire three and a half hour session was focused on showing appreciation and giving people compliments. The compliments I received, although all very nice and from the heart, made me realize that I have shown only one side of myself in the course and not necessarily an honest portrayal of it. The compliments I received were related to my focus on my work.
It made me realize how I created that by what I spoke about and the power of creating one’s image. It also supported some thoughts I’ve been having lately that I have been focusing too much on work. Which brings me to the second point: Nearly four months in and I have relapsed into an anti-social world focused on work. That’s gonna change.
The other thing I realized tonight during the class when I was giving a presentation on a deeply emotional incident and what I learned from it is that I have been neglecting to address another thing- opening up and sharing my feelings with friends. That too will change.
