My summer calendar

Summertime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I am very excited about the next weeks. Very cool things coming up.

Next saturday: like every summer I am attending a festival, this time I am going to Dancevalley (exciting Line-up: Carl Cox, Tiesto, Gregor Salto, David & Toni Moreno and many many others) VERY excited!!!!!

In two weeks: I am going to visit Juliana in Corfu (Greece), very happy to get to spend time with her and enjoy the beaches of a Greek island. Hope that I can avoid the many Dutch though :-)

Most likely I will also go to Solar weekend festival, but am not sure yet.

Summer is good!!!

"intervision" at work

The bank that I work for, formerly known as THE Dutch bank, but nowadays a bit belgian, russian, chinese and many other things, believes in personal development. So much so that we get non-stop attention from all kind of trainers, mentors, psychologists etc. Today was again a day where we learnt how to focus on a problem and then really disect that problem and in the end learn from it.

It is interesting to see how much boday language really matters. As soon as questions became rough, the person in question made some kind of gesture to emphasize his thoughts. It also shows the power of psychology, how much is going on beneath the surface.

Learning to be a good coach/mentor/manager is difficult.
Self- leadership can be difficult.
Giving and receiving feedback is not easy.
I found it to be a long process that takes uo a lot of energy, but in the end it is rewarding.

Thoughts??
