Women Serenity Leadership
November 5-7th, 2006
The Women Serenity Leadership approach
" I appreciated very much the holistic approach
- Excellent balance of mind, body and soul approach
- Excellent blends of personal and anonymous business cases
- Practical discussions and sharing and disclosure
- The coherence of this training
- Coherence with the messages of leadership and women
- Coherent and very sensitive approach
- Your own experience vs a trainer
- The group size
- Wonderful three days last week. Wisdom and insights that you shared with us in the seminar which personally were very helpful to me
- Trois jours qui représentent un enrichissement énorme! Vos conseils sont si justes!
- C'était vraiment superbe et cela va changer ma vie, nos vies!
- Formidable avec toute votre énergie et l'amour que vous transmettez!
- Avec le recul d'une semaine, j'ajouterais que j'ai l'esprit plus clair, désemcombré, affûté sur des idées plus essentielles
Leadership is Awareness
- Divine appointments in our lives are coming together
- Moments of enlightment
- There was an awakening in me, just the issues of and, but.or the dynamics of gender
- I have been deeply touched with "les mots justes"
- I gained a lot from the seminar and our discussion prompted soul-searching that I had never previously done
- These 3 days have changed the vision on myself and others, they have put words on shadow areas of my personal history
- All very very positive like "Standing up, and saying our name" because now we are awakened
Leadership is Empathy and Relating
- I appreciated the workshops; a lot of reflexion about the contents and myself
- I will put into practice the concept of "relating" that you shared with us
- I see this as one of the challenge for me as being an inspirational leader
- It is no longer a stone around my neck, it is a challenge
- You developed full interest and respect of each other identity, doubts and values
- You are teaching empathy and applying it
- Une rencontre avec moi-même.et le groupe, et je suis ravie de cette rencontre
Leadership is Authenticity
- Very precious authenticity
- Authenticity happened in the first morning
- Strong messages given in a softer way
- You pressed us, not hurt us to fulfil our potential
- Sometimes you touch us, at critical moments you touch a sensitive point, obvious and risky, and you never force or push, with responsibility and sensitivity
- Often we want to protect ourselves, with this seminar you open yourself and risk authenticity
- You did not ask us to be authentic, you were authentic at sharing, it encouraged us to be
Leadership is Contributive and Empowering
- You transmitted the desire to contribute
- The whole course is more involvement oriented than theory oriented
- The feedback process is very valuable
- Very enriching to hear each others experience and exchanges
- The personal experiences we share
- It allows us to connect and to support each other in the company
- It motivated us to give feedbacks because you initiated a movement of giving
- The experience right now: we still are going through this exercise
- Till the last minute we are still in the process, as opposed to " thank you, and fill out the evaluation forms"
- Each one is encouraged to be a network group
- I feel more self-confident
- I am lovable
- I discovered a serenity which is not common
Leadership is Rigor - None of us expected tools, we expected to develop ourselves and we did - You use tools so sparingly that it can be very valuable - Tools you have built through the process are so powerful - Great tools and case studies; Strategic powerful tools; The scientific proofs - Very powerful metaphors and concepts: power vs leadership. Leadership is a Journey - Like after a journey, I come back home and office enriched, different, with new envies-desires to act - Really very crucial learning points that will be tools for us - Simple things that make a huge difference in how we approach things and people and that we can use immediately and that will have an impact over time - Your experience and the generosity circle you initiated with giving a lot naturally - We were incited to give a lot in return - We lived the experience of feedback - Time passed so quickly and yet I was jetlagged - Wise time frame - Time for action planning in detailed way - The time and the silences you allocate to each one of us - Intense and good pace and with a lot of humour - We talked of serious challenges and with laughs - We go deep in the topics and still keep the distance and the humour - Ce travail sur soi, sur sa haine et ses à priori est crucial, sinon toute démarche de développement du leadership est vaine Target - I would recommend it to anybody, to people who manage, who are moving to a leadership position - Persons who will discover some things they would have never discovered otherwise, they will be satisfied - I have to be ready to receive that gift. It requires a certain maturity - I would love to do it with men and see if we achieved the same results and harmony. Great for our bosses too What next? - Leadership is a journey - I recommend my organisation to move forward - A follow-up seminar to see how we had grown - I hope that we will meet again in Leadership II - When is Leadership II?
