TRAINING

Seglympics Team Conquer The Hunter

“A massive Thank you for this opportu- nity. I was a bit hesitant at first but I am so glad that I made the decision to go. It definitely makes you see things in a new light and has already helped me since coming home to step out of my comfort zone further and start trying new things and taking on new challenges. Tim was absolutely amazing. Thank you Bill and everyone else who was part of my PEP Experience.” “Well its easy to say what I thought I would get out of PEP training but really hard to describe what I came away with. Who thought that having to put your trust in a machine with no steering wheel would allow you to trust in a group of strangers. How does a single letter open one's eyes to what they might have been missing all their lives. How does one describe the massive impact a bunch of coloured rope can have. Who thought pipe cleaners and plastic kids toys would change the way you look at things. I think for me I arrived at a 'Personal Effectiveness Program' and departed having gone through a 'Profound Experi- ence Program'. Thanks Bill and KSS for the opportunity and this is something I would love to do again.” Emma Lucht - Camperdown

M ay saw us conduct another Personal Effectiveness Program and the Team were lucky enough to be able to return to the Hunter Valley. Team Members arrived from Queensland, South Australia, Canberra and Sydney regions for lunch at THQ before making their way to the Resort. Upon arrival at the Resort Adam and Paul from East Coast Experiences organised the participants into teams to take part in a Seglympics. From the pictures you can see everyone had a great time. Some Team Members overcame their fears to ride the Segways, the first of many achievements to come for the three days. While the Red Team collected the medals, all Team Members were winners as it certainly set up a tremendous atmosphere for the rest of the program. As part of PEP each Team Member completes a Life Style Inventory (LSI 1) which is designed to promote construc- tive, transformational change. Feedback is then given to help individuals more clearly understand what is currently supporting and hindering their personal effectiveness, with guidance to developing more constructive styles of thinking and behaving. Bill McClean Training and Development Manager

“The PEP training was intense and emotional, it has allowed me to reflect on myself in both my professional and private life. The openness of everyone that attended was absolutely amazing. I am a person who does not show my emotions freely but during PEP my mind was going a million miles an hour. During PEP I have learnt that I have to work on my confidence and decision making skills by making my own small action plan and work on it day in day out to slowly but surely better myself.”
