The Workshop
“Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until
you value your time, you will not do anything with it.” - M. Scott Peck
This last week was my first opportunity teaching the Career
Workshop. The workshop was located in a stake center on the other side of the
city. We would take a taxi to the metro station and then take the subway. So
far, we’ve only had on taxi driver that’s tried to place us for a fool, and
succeed. The trip about doubled in price. Well, that’s what you get when you
don’t know the area and tell them you’re American.
The first day of the workshop wasn’t exactly everything
Adriel and I had hoped for. About 20 people showed up, but we came out all stiff in
our teaching. Throughout the 3 hours we
warmed up a little, but it still felt like the time dragged on. We came
together the following day and started to work on energizers and ways to pass
the information without lecturing. When it came time to teach the class, we
came prepared with visuals and activities, and what a difference it made. The
people felt more alive and the 3 hours passed quickly. Lesson learned, people like
to feel not just included but valued. The class will finish up this week, so
plenty of time to implement these new findings!
