Passionate Leadership

I have attented different kinds of training and seminars about leadership but it is usually held in the conference room or in other training facility of the company. And the area is really boring and the whole training gets boring also. Although there were some icebreakers but it does not break the ice actually. I still feel sleepy and totally bored.

But that was before.

Now that i am employed in a much bigger company it is different. When our boss announced that we will going to have a two-day seminar/training which will be held out of town i get really excited. And to add to our excitement, she mentioned that it will be going to held in a resort so we could have relaxation and have the time to unwind at the same time and just forget work and have fun and learn at the same time.

We tried our best to look for some place outside the city that will fit our budget but we failed. Nevertheless, we did not lose hope. Instead, in our eagerness to spend to days in a resort with all expense paid plus the fact that we will be learning new things at the same time, gave us the will to find one perfect place. Finally, our boss closed a deal with one of the famous resort just around the island. It's called Plantation Bay. I was really happy to know that we are going there since i never had the chance to visit the place.

It really looks like a plantation! The place is just so magnificient that you can really realx and just relax and relax.


During the training, of course, we had fun while learning and absorbing the insights our speaker is giving us. We had fun during the MAZE challenge and all of us enjoyed the moment of being together and working together till we made it to the finish line. We have learned a lot of things during the challenge and during the two-day seminar/training. I just cannot explain the experienced. Our Training mainly focuses on how to become a passioante leader and unity. Our training also focuses on how to improve more your self as a leader and how you can be effective. It's not just about your being a leader but it also teaches us on how to lead people the right way.

It was indeed a winning days for all of us. We just didn't have fun but learned a lot. We also had the chance of knowing each other well.

I'm sure i will be going back to this place and this time it will be purely unwinding and realxing and more exploration to be made in the place. We just had the chance to ride the golf car which toured us aroung but we never saw the whole place in a closer look. And i dind't have the chance to dip myself on the pools around.
