Hotelier - Hotel Training Forum

I always enjoy all kind of learning classes or seminar sessions. At least, trying to enjoy it. facing the facts that some people attending a learning class with unwillingness to attend, I think I can 'show off' a little bit, that I never turn down an offer 'to learn'. Cannot turn down, will not turn down and don't have the heart to turn down.

Indeed, it is not exactly easy, to ‘re-set' your mindset, freeing it from judgment and fully letting the brain to absorb the content of the learning session.

My secret key (hahh, it is not secret anymore, I guess: D ) is to come to the session for three kind of pleasures.

First. Enjoying the content for personal satisfaction. Simply to be contented. Well, there are, in fact lousy contents, not a interesting and boring topic; which becomes a challenge for me to stay in my chair till the end of session, and make me deserve pleasurably saying the content is 100% s*u*c*k hahaha.

Second, having fun enjoying the reaction and response from all participants or attendees. Hmmm, truly fun part

Third, if I get lucky, I get the pleasure 'enjoying' the facilitator. Some of them, despite of content, are very inspiring and making the heart beat goes faster, stimulates adrenalin, to act. Especially when it comes to a spunky gorgeous male facilitator......wwooo, heavenly earth hehehe

At my workplace, I get very lucky to be able to access any of learning classes I want. And excitedly enjoying the second point. Even though, only as observer. Actually with the observer label instead of participant, it truly is double benefits.

Sit down quietly in the back of the room, sometime able to multitask some of the responsibility. Really, a pleasure to be an observer.

There are always interesting and exciting findings from participants. Concern on bosses, chit chat on dearly boss, cases that I thought only peanuts, people simply being naïve, unawareness, intention to 'test' the facilitator, those who drop their sleepy heads on the table, indeed make me having pleasantly moment in the corner of the class.

Where I work, holding responsibility and dedicate myself, second point becomes 'candid observation'. Food for thought. To put myself in their shoes, finding dissatisfaction, or even unexpectedly compliments, is all valuable inputs and feedback.

Learning classes have always been a great fun. Full of surprises, and I love surprises
