My first blog for RW :)
For our first class, we learned how to give handshakes and to exchange cards. The three essential elements for a good handshake; warm, firm, and brief! It was quite interesting to know the right form because no one has ever taught me how to and it will be embarrassing if I keep it wrong for the rest of my life. As for the card exchange, I've exchanged many cards before so I was pretty confident with the way. However, in the past, I've made many embarrasing mistakes (giving the card other way around for example) which made me learn from my experience. And I must say, I have THE MOST AMAZING card so feel free to exchange cards with me anytime! haha
The topic Leadership really caught my attention because I am currently running a student organization. Unlike other student organizations, my organization has two leaders other than me. I really like this system because the burden and the responsibility that one is supposed to enhance becomes one-third, while the fun we share becomes three times more! Because of this system and my unserious personality, I haven't really considered myself as a leader up until now. However, this course will be a chance for me to rethink and enrich my ability as a leader. And I am sure that the things I will learn will definitely be useful in the future.
P.S. I really love Ryan Higa's videos!
Hi Megumi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great first post, and I want one of your cards!
I am glad too that leadership is a skill you can apply right now, Ryan Higa is new for me so already I am learning from all of you.

DeleteYou should check out more of his videos. Each one is hilarious!

Hey Megumi!!
ReplyDeleteI would really like to exchange card with you...
But I need to make one first!
I was wondering what kind of things you do in student organization!
Maybe we can have a little chat someday :)
Moeka

Megumii:)
ReplyDeleteJust like you, I have never considered myself as a leader. I don't like to be followed, I'd rather stay with the 'rest of the people'. But like you said, I am wondering and hoping whether 'Leading at the Edge' can change my feelings and even give me some clues and tips of how to become a great leader. Let's hope so!

Haruuu :)
DeleteYa, this could be a new incentive for us to think ourselves as leaders! Let's see how our feelings change throughout the whole course.
