A big thank you to M-Knows Consulting for having us
I think it is ideal that i seize this opportunity to thank M-Knows Consulting for having us( Ewa, Yusaf, Ana and I) as international guests to its training event organised for the training and development of Lipindo Assurance staffs. We supported the day long training with facilitation of groups of employees of this companies who were been groomed for managerial positions in the company.
By the way, Lipindo Assurance is one of the largest Insurance companies in Indonesia with over 80 branches across Indonesia. As part of the training event to which started on the 4th of January and should continue till 2nd of February 2007, is the cultural day. The event was established to make the delegates understand how to work with an international perspective. Like in situations when they might deal with a foreigner, How will they deal with the communication challenges in such situations, for example, where they have to use English in their communication to a team member of theirs who happens to be a foreign expatriates . For your information, Indonesia's official language is Bahasa Indonesia, which means that this delegates are only used to speaking in this language for communication with their colleagues and customers. So this was meant to allow them use their little English skills to communicate with us and as well see how it feels to really associate with foreigners, while we had team activities that really made us relate in a strong communication atmosphere.
Not only was this event the first to which i had to lead a group of as many as 40 non-youth delegates, it was also the first i ever had to do without any relationship with AIESEC. Basically, everything was done only using ideas from AIESEC and as well introducing things that this individuals could associate with but was totally different from what we know in AIESEC.
It was an awesome time for me and i also got to learn many new concept on how to really associate with the Indonesian both the student groups and the companies. Also know what are the things they want to hear and/or see.
I must tell you that the decision to accept the invitation from M-Knows Consulting to train at this event, was a worth while one. And also, that my Saturday was one of the best i ever had. Thank you M-Knows Consulting for giving me another opportunity to do what i really want to do with my time, that is, increasing my practical and theoretical experience.
For your knowledge, M-Knows Consulting is one of AIESEC in Indonesia's learning partner who gives training supports and mentorship to our members and as well to the Member Committee of AIESEC in Indonesia
