Guest Speaker Brent Stewart

Talked about Personal Leadership Development He explained how we all have a tendency to do things in a repetitive manner and become accustomed to do them without thinking about it. An example is when we drive somewhere and when we get to our destination we are not aware how we got there. We just go on auto pilot, and we are not able to enjoy the experience or do anything to improve it. In some circumstances auto pilot can work against you, eliminating creativity and change. Everyone was asked to state their demeanour in a scale of 0 to 10 and the results were discussed. Mr Stewart explained that there are 2 engines of Leadership Awareness and Responsibility Awareness: It is important to know were you are, to know what is around you, seek feedback and pay attention. Responsibility: We have a choice and we need to take responsibility of our actions and the results. We are free to get ourselves out of autopilot and do what we want. We are not victims of the circumstances we have a choice. Notes this week by Boris Schaffer.
