It’s been non stop. I was training with seven other “chosen” Chairs of CEO groups at Vistage Headquarters in San Diego, the world’s largest executive organization. I was invited to be part of a group of train the trainers, in other words we were being groomed to train our peers, other Chairs around the country. As always it was a challenging and enlightening experience as we all brought to the table our own unique perspective on issues that we face in “herding cats” aka facilitating CEO’s as well as the challenges brought on by the economy affecting many of our members.
We started each day with inclusion exercises and on one day we had to finish the sentence…”I’d like to teach the world to….” and no, it was not sing, although I do think that did show up. It was more about…getting up each day with no expectations, no judgments, viewing the world daily through the eyes of a child, being more playful, respectful, outrageous (yes, that was mine☺
We shared laughter, aha’s, best practices and in the process were helping to create and define what the next Chair development program will look like when it begins in March. The theme is Keeping Current; The Journey Continues… with a lot of references to white water rafting. We didn’t do much of that in the Bronx, lol. Headed home in time to Chair my meeting then hit the road again and now in Pittsburgh for a speech tomorrow then off to NY for dinner with THE son and…well, for the rest you’ll have to…stay tuned!
