Today was the first workshop for the Essential Leaders Program. Daunted, unsure what to expect and how much work is will be, I arrived at the first session wondering if I had made the right decision to sign up for this course. I feel privileged to be offered this opportunity and the timetable fitted in with my childcare arrangements, I had no choice but to say yes and grab this ELP with both horns. So here we are after the first session.
Without looking at my notes or having reviewed anything in 6 days, since the workshop this is what I have taken with me:

Managing is a messy business. You can't stop the mess in the day but you can make sure you do work that's matters. I often feel overwhelmed so I am looking forward to spending more time focussing on developing strategies to manage the work. Today has been great for that I am looking forward to putting some of these into practice.
Doing work that matters, really resonated strongly with me. I remember saying this back in 2002, when I quit a better paying job to go back to disability work, as I felt that that work mattered more. Feeling I can make a difference in someone else's life has been my driving force. So I need to get organised so I can do work that matters as a team leader. Do work that will make a difference to our clients and to my colleagues so that they can enjoy doing work that matters, that can make a difference in someone else's life! :)
Oh, and I've heard people saying "Happy Anzac Day" today. I'm not sure that is the right sentiment....hmmmm???
