are going to be...it would serve me well to remember that on occasion!
see in many ways i was dreading this week - i enrolled (sometime ago) in an MBTI Accreditation course as the work i will be doing next year with a particular company requires me to be certified - and whilst that was the driving force behind me doing it, i also have a personal and professional interest in it...what i'm saying was, i may have done it anyway, the need just simply gave me a push!
sooo the pre-reading and workshop materials arrived some time ago - perhaps a month and until friday (ie 3 days before it was to start) i hadn't even opened it so as the days went by i became more and more trepidatious about opening it...when i finally did it said that it would take somewhere between 10 and 20 hours to get thru - aarrgghh...
so i spent a lot of friday and saturday going through it - reading every reference possible and doing all the self-assessment tests (which i did ok on) but i still arrived monday morning feeling a little nervous...
turns out my anxiety was completely unfounded and i passed each 'end of day quiz' with flying colours getting 69/70 overall for the course!
not only that it was fantastic - i learned a stack - about myself, about others, about leadership, about teams, about the impact of environment on our personality type development etc etc...
sooo i'm a convert! can't wait to be able to use it and perhaps this is a very good and concrete example of why i should not get myself into a tizz...
wonder if i'll remember that next time i am in a similar situation???
