TRAINING

Seglympics Team Conquer The Hunter

“When we look at the OCI each year a key element to improving the results is actually quite simple; educate everyone on what the OCI measures and how it comes to be; while doing that highlight expected behaviours and values at KSS that underpin it. By taking that simple step we see an improvement in the results. What better way to take that to the next level than spend three days in the Hunter Valley with your Teammates whilst completing the LSI1 on your own behaviour and thinking. I was able to attend with a bunch of Team Members this past May. We left our roles behind and each of us was able to begin to understand what has in some cases influenced us all our lives. It was great to see the genuine way each Team Member approached the experi- ence and the honesty they displayed in looking at themselves, their work and their lives. There were many smiles as Team Members recognised things within themselves and stunned expressions as a lifetime of behaviour dawned on some. When we all piled into the cars to begin the journey home I couldn’t help but begin to wonder where these three days will take some of us.”

“For me personally I took away an insight into myself that I had never thought about nor was aware. It has opened my eyes to the fact that I have a tendency to be cautious, whether it be in my personal or professional life. Risks are there to be taken, mistakes are allowed to be made and there is everything to be gained. I look forward to seeing what future achievements I will be able to accomplish with the tools I have taken away with me over the last few days.” “The course was quite an emotional journey with heart-warming and enlight- ening moments that will definitely stay with me and refocus my direction to look at where I can do better. It showed me the tools to make effective small changes and focus on improving myself as a person and a Team Member. I would personally like to thank Kennards Management Team for caring about their employees enough to undertake this course which encourages personal development in such a positive way.” Craig Kemp - Thebarton

“First of all it was such an amazing trip to the Hunter Valley with great Teammates. It was a wonderful insight to myself, uncovering things that I was initially aware of and needed to change but didn’t know how. It was the guidance from both Bill, Tim and my Teammates that got me to start the first steps in repairing and overcoming the challenges. The bravery from each and every one of us was inspirational. I am very excited for what the future will hold.” “What a great mixed group of people work for Kennards. How a simple exercise be it mind/visual/expressive can unlock a different thought process is amazing. PEP gave me the awareness and insight to look at myself and has given me keys and strategies to make a difference.” Amy Ferguson - Warana
