Our first session at LSI - Communication Breakdown - and then Build Up!

April 1st 2015



Last week, the three current MBB candidates came together at Lean Sensei International (LSI) for 3 days of workshops and orientation.  Spending some time discussing the MBB program together was helpful. There are opportunities to develop and grow, and there are a number of those where we can do that collaboratively.  For example, a requirement of the MBB program is to develop a new piece of methodology - and to develop a training workshop for it and  execute that workshop as a public offering.



By having access to each other, and with guidance from David Chao (President, LSI), the three of us came to realize that we shared very similar interests and challenges.  So we will work to develop, test and then train on a shared methodology component.

We also had a whole day with an external communication coach (Ray) who worked with us one-on-one and have us the opportunity to role-play real situations with immediate feedback.  It was an intense day.



We finished up with an overview of the Harada method, including a challenge to identify a long term personal goal, and apply one of the Harada artifacts to lay out a plan to move toward that goal.

This goal, and the use of the Harada tool will be revisited throughout our journey.

While these three days were full and focused, we followed them up with a team building day fishing through Howe Sound.  It was a great day - even though we only really brought in 1 fish!!!!  Darryl reeled in a salmon!!!  It was just too small to keep - so we released it.



















Great 4 days with the MBB team and coaches.
