Non-practice

At a course with Cătălin ZAHARIA – inspirational model in structured communication, for me; and top speaker – Get a result now! we had to pick a role – client (stating a problem), coach (helping the client solve its problems), observer (noticing things, giving feed-back at the end). For most of the time, I used to think that: The role of a client rules. The role of a coach, if he does his job well, is good. The role of an observer is not that great. I’m starting to see some advantages in the ability to not be 100% focused on the problem, from the position of the observer. The observer role is not that bad. Sometimes, just noticing thing is good enough.

Two ideas after a workshop: I like childhood a lot. I may want to come back with memories to it more often. Good times. The best leadership model is the one in which the leader makes himself cherished by his followers. So, if you want to be a leader, rather than striving to “sell” a model, you may wish to make yourself genuinely cherished by your followers.

Bruno Medicina said once an argument similar to the following: EN: Mozart, Beethoven, all the great geniuses, broke the rules and won. We like them because they had results when they broke the rules. Yet the top students today are forced, in the institutional education system, to obey the rules. They perform well in spite of the fact that they can’t/shouldn’t break the rules. RO: Mozart, Beethoven, toate geniile mari, au încălcat regulile și au reușit. Îi apreciem datorită faptului că avut rezultate încălcând regulile. Cu toate astea, studenții de azi sunt forțați, în sistemul educațional instituțional, să urmeze regulile. Ei au rezultate bune, și performează, în ciuda faptului că nu pot / nu ar trebui să încalce regulile. This thought also applies to other fields (see religion, where many things happen for not obeying, and all religion is based on obeying). See other forms of art where it is difficult to produce something from scratch without heavy disagreements.

Hello, A few ideas after a workshop: At some time in the Bible, some Apostles are told to bring the fish to the surface. At other times, they are told they will be made fishermen of real people (thus, the fishes are associated with people). What does it mean to bring the fish to the surface? It may imply that the real value of a person, its soul & spirituality resides hidden in waters, and it can only be made visible by trying hard. I noticed I mirror other person’s body positions. So, if X leans forward, I lean forward. If X leans back, I lean back. On the other hand, I do not mirror ideas, quite the contrary, I have a tendency to oppose them. Sometimes, when I disagree with someone, I say something like “Yes, …” and continue with saying the opposite of what X says. So the “Yes” part is a bit misleading. But easier to take.
