Diversity and SykesFairbairn
Friday, November 7th, 2008“Be part of the change you want to see in the world” Mahatma Gandhi
During the last couple of days we have done: Stress Management, Advanced Project Management, Time Management and had a very interesting day on Diversity; what it really means, the business implications and how it is working in practise with excellent speakers from BT, Aviva and Ernst & Young.
I am a little overwhelmed with tools, techniques – onions, 2×2′s, flows … the list goes on. However, due to the relatively small class sizes (10 at min so far) it has meant a chance to get closer to the speakers, ask more questions and listen more to their stories. Their generosity, openess and attitudes are great – happily in contrast to the “nice guys come last” mentality you often see; these are nice guys (and gals!) coming very definately first, blue chip board members and managing directors.
Just the inspiration I need and hoped for by joining this course.
The (in)famous Nick Bates – see link to his blog right – is in today to teach us presentation skills … Don’t forget your newspaper guys!!!
