Debbie Adams / First gear

Dave said that first gear was the most powerful one as it gets you moving. My first gear was sticking but I gave it a good shove and have now started blogging.

The journey ahead – I’m still a bit vague about the desired end point in all of this.  I’m remaining open to the experience but find it difficult to articulate to others (and myself) what I can expect to get out of it all. Makes it difficult to mentally prepare. I’m keeping faith in my ex-colleague who attended last year’s course who encouraged me to participate based on her reflections on positive changes to her leadership style (as well as her own development).

I must admit to lack of enthusiasm right at this point – sitting at my desk with a huge list of things to complete before heading off (think I’ll be working the weekend) but isn’t that always the way??  Although I’m feeling positive about the potential of learning with and from group members and the project team – good first impressions. Also feeling positive about the fact that I’m quite intimidated by what might lie ahead. But that worry is one of the reasons I want to do it. Everyone needs to be challenged.

Let the adventure begin…
