Have you ever attended one of those Transformational Learning programs? The ones that will make you reflect deep and hard about your life to the point that it will change how you see the world? I have.
After sending me to a comprehensive 3-day technical training for Windows Communication Framework, my company have decided to send me to a 3-day non-technical training called 7 Habits for Highly Effective People Signature Program at the Ateneo Professional Schools, Center for Leadership and Change in Makati.
At first, I thought that it will be a big waste of my and my company’s time if I attend this training during this hectic months. Habits? C’mon! I don’t need those to spew out quality codes! Besides, I already have habits even if they are not the best ones around. That’s what I thought and before I knew it…
I was in for the biggest shock of my life!
On April 17, 2009, I will be attending a leadership seminar sponsored by Accenture Philippines. Accenture Student Leadership Conference is a 3-day seminar that will be held somewhere in Tagaytay.
According to Accenture’s website, participants will “learn about key Accenture leadership contribution areas by being value creators, business operators, and people developers through seminars and fun activities… They will also hear first-hand testimonials from some of the top Accenture Senior Executives, Managers, and Leads from various workforces and projects”.
If you have attended at least one leadership seminar in your life, you know that it will be full of ego-massaging and morale-boosting talks from some senior-management guy from some Fortune/Global 500 company. And some funny “group dynamics” that the event coordinators will link to a certain “leadership” quality but in reality, it will just make you tired and sweaty. I have yet to attend a leadership seminar that will really teach me on how to be a really good leader. Accenture SLC… here’s hoping!
