I had some interestings times at work this week. It seemed like the pendulum swing was going the wrong way. I think that all of my skills as a manager and a human were called to test. I am not ready to share the details of that but a bit of about how I dealt with it.
I am signed up to take a course at the end of the month. This course is to help me to help others get an idea of the real person that they are. The process involves being curious as to who is the one who is experiencing or going through what ever is going on at the moment.
The course material seems to try to teach us to use all of our experiences to trigger the question "Who is the one experiencing this right now?" Instead of trying to supress or wallow in them, just inquires as stated. The experiences are certainly no less profound but the emotional impact seems different.
After the inquiry, the process indicates contemplation. Sometimes the moment doesn't really allow for it but if so, go with the flow. Also the process indicates sharing what arises from the contemplation and unless you are with a willing partner, that is a trick if you are by yourself. Of course there is "the blog".
So I made it through the week and as the week progressed my experiences with (from now on I will refer to the process of personal development as "the Work") the work, deepened. They us that the great mystery (or whatever you would like refer to God as) leads us where it needs us to be. When we make a descision to do someting like enroll in a course, the learning begins from that moment. The lead up to the beginning of the course is going to be very interesting indeed.
